We have discussed the applicability of assisting devices using gyro-moment to sprint running for a pendulum model with an oscillating slider crank mechanism. In this paper, the proposed assisting device is attached to user's body and supports sprint running. Experimental results are shown that the devices makes running speed faster, such as the running rhythm is accelerated and the running stroke is improved.
