Up to 1960, there was considered that one must
be born to be short distance runner, and only after
the victories of Arminn Hary and Valeriy Borzov at
Olympic Games in 1960 and in 1972, it became clear
that short distance running features characteristic
only for black athletes, could also be developed
using special preparation (Doherty, 2007). Basing
on the analysis of the modern competitive activities,
we will attempt to answer the question what are the
trends in short distance runners training.. The aim of
the research was to examine short distance runners
training features in different time periods. Subjects:
the study included short distance runners: n = 12 (years
2000–2009, height 1,84 ± 0,12 m; weight 81,25 ± 3,73
kg); n = 16 (years 1990 – 1999, height 1,80 ± 0,10 m;
weight 83,73 ± 4,04 kg). The data on the world’s best

summary
short-distance runners 100 m results were taken from
the magazine “Атлетика” (2007) (Bulgaria) and from
www.iaaf.com. Results. We found that between 1990
and 1999 sprinters had speed advantage in the first 10
m, while from 2000 to 2009 sprinters had the advantage
of following distances, and the running speed at 60, 70,
80 m was statistically significant. Today’s world’s elite
sprinters in 100 m distance achieve higher maximum
speed performance. From 40 to 60 m, the maximum
running speed aver age is 11.69 m/s. Some athletes
reach over 12 m/s.: Usain Bolt 12.34 m/s, Tyson Gay,
12.20 m/s. Usain Bolt loses the first 10m to the best
sprinters in the world, but from 20 m to 100 m he
shows higher speed increment. In 20 meters Usain
Bolt outstrips his rivals 0.03 seconds, while in the
100 m, this difference increases to 0.28 s.
