Abstract

The 60 m hurdles (60 mH) is an indoor track and field event that is also a discipline of the men’s heptathlon (HEPTm) and women’s pentathlon (PENTw) indoor combined events (CBE). The aim of the study was to investigate possible gender, event-specific and hurdle unit differences using time analysis data of elite-level competitors. The athletes competed in men’s (HURm, n = 20) and women’s (HURw, n = 22) 60 mH and the 60 mH discipline of the HEPTm (n = 15) and PENTw (n = 14) during the 2017 European Indoor Athletic Championships were recorded with two high speed panning cameras (sampling frequency: 300 fps). Differences for the time analysis parameters were checked with a 2 (gender) x 2 (event) x 6 (hurdle units) repeated measures ANOVA. Results revealed significant (p .05) three-way interaction indicated a common race pattern among the examined groups. In conclusion, CBE athletes’ performance was inferior compared to hurdlers, with distinct differences observed in the duration of the approach run to the first hurdle and the hurdle clearance duration of the last hurdle.
