The training process of the spastic sprinters (physically handicapped sportsmen) and pathology of their handicap require special training methods. This research builds on previous research (a comparative analysis of crouch start and mid-crouch start of spastic athlete).
This initial research showed necessity of adaptation of run-up position at a crouch start to the clossest performance to run-up position at the mid-crouch start, because all examined quality indicators of this start were significantly better than the indicators of the crouch start. This part of research deals with comparative analysis of crouch start and crouch start with diagonal position of arm to determine which of the options is for the spastic sprinter class T38 the closest to the optimal design described in the literature.
The video and a description of the key position of running-up was used for the comparison after crouch start and after crouch start with diagonal position of arm.
