Abstract: OBJECTIVES: ) in 100 m, 200 m, and 400 m elite-level sprinters. Specifically, it aimed to quantify how differences in event-specific demands influence these relationships. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. METHODS: and other explanatory variables. These data were analysed using analysis of variance and multivariate regression to determine event-specific differences, associations and interaction effects. RESULTS: (p < 0.05). The propulsive force deterioration rate was significantly and positively associated with deceleration rate and negatively associated with vfinish in all events (p < 0.05). The propulsive force deterioration rate was also significantly and positively associated with vmax in the 200 m and 400 m events (p < 0.05) but not in the 100 m. CONCLUSIONS: . In the 400 m event, these results are evidence of an alternate pacing strategy perhaps to reduce energy consumption from anaerobic metabolism, whereas the 200 m results may indicate the biomechanical demands of curve running.
