CURRENT STATUS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS OF MALE ATHLETES IN THE 100M RUNNING TEAM AT TRÀ VINH UNIVERSITY, VIETNAM

Tran Phuc, Duong Thanh Nha, Nguyen Quang Vinh

Abstract


Athletics is often referred to as the “queen of sports,” and the 100-meter sprint is one of its most popular and closely followed events. Elite 100m sprinters require not only explosive speed and speed endurance but also technical proficiency and optimal body morphology. This study aims to provide insights into the physical fitness status of male athletes on the 100m sprint team at Tra Vinh University, Vietnam. The research employed methods including literature review and analysis, interviews, pedagogical testing, and statistical mathematics to address the study objectives. The research subjects included eight male sprinters from the university’s 100m team. The study identified 13 tests that effectively evaluate the physical fitness of these athletes. Results indicate that most of the selected tests exhibit high consistency and are representative of the sample population.
