The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the hurdling time, actions and images in 50 meter hurdle running. Sixty-six female students in college ran the 50 meter hurdles and 50 meter with full effort. They had only experienced hurdle running in their physical education class. We analyzed the hurdling actions with the VTR and the images on hurdling actions by means of the questionnaire, correlation analysis and ANOVA.
The points on the hurdling actions that were indicated by the results in this study were as follows;
1) It is important to take off with higher speed by means of shortening the take-off time. Then, the shorter the take-off time is, the larger the angle of take-off leg is.
2)It is important to take-off from far point and to lengthen the distance of air borne phase. So that the angle of take-off leg is larger.
3)It is important to have image to lean ahead the upper body and to throw out the lead arm horizontally.
4)It is important to have image that the rate of the distance in take-off phase and landing phase is equal. Then, this leads the angle of take:"'off leg larger.
The above-mentioned suggestions are valuable for improving the hurdling performance of inexperienced hurdlers.
