Abstract
The present findings suggest that although the relationship between plantar flexor passive stiffness and personal best 100-m sprint time was relatively minimal, a higher plantar flexor passive stiffness may be a potential factor for achieving superior sprint performance in sprinters. Therefore, in the clinical setting, measurement of passive planter flexor stiffness may be useful for assessing sprint performance.
