Normative value of running speed for asymptomatic young Indian adults between 18 and 21 years: A cross-sectional study

Study Design: A cross-sectional observational study
Purpose: To determine the gender and age-specific running speed reference value among asymptomatic young Indian adults between 18-21 years
Methods: Participants will be recruited based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data will be collected and anthropometric measurements such as Body Mass Index (BMI), thigh length and true limb length will be taken. One leg Sit-to-Stand (STS) test will be used to measure the Lower Limb (LL) muscle strength. The normative data for running speed will be collected by using the 40-yard sprint test.
Significance: The achieved norms of this study can be used easily for approximating the performance of young adults in their daily life activities as well as for their health and fitness screening, profiling, monitoring and surveillance.
Keywords: Motor skills, Physical fitness, Young adults, Running

研究设计：一项横断面观察性研究
目的：确定18至21岁无症状的印度年轻成人中性别和年龄特定的跑步速度参考值
方法：根据纳入和排除标准招募参与者。收集人口统计学数据，并测量身体质量指数（BMI）、大腿长度和真实肢体长度等体质测量指标。采用单腿坐到站（STS）测试来衡量下肢（LL）肌肉力量。通过40码冲刺测试收集跑步速度的规范数据。
意义：本研究获得的标准可以方便地用于估算年轻成人在日常生活中的表现，以及用于其健康和体能筛查、分析、监控和监督。
