The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of ankle angles and strike pattern on 50m sprint test performance for young non-athletes. Twenty-seven non-athletes were distributed in a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), and performed pre, control and post 50m sprint tests. Motion analysis data from the left leg ankle angle (LAA), right leg ankle angle (RAA) and strike pattern were obtained during landing moments in the sagittal plane using video recording. In accordance with our findings, basic sprint drill warm-ups can improve sprinting time in young girls and contribute to the strengthening of ankle muscles and joints. Motion analysis of strike pattern and ankle joint motion during sprinting tests and the implementation of warm-ups with basic sprint exercises could help in the recognition of range of motion in ankle joints, reduce the risk of injury, and benefit sprint performance.
