Modern sport science gives a high priority to every success factor analysis, with the sport-specific motor skills being commonly perceived as critical for success in most of the modern sport disciplines. Objective of the study was to analyze benefits of a new sport technique analyzing tool that combines the visual quality analysis with the technique rating data processed by a mathematical statistics toolkit. The study included expert valuations of the sprint running techniques by 10 leading active coaches who rated the skills of 10 elite sprinters. The experts were expected to fix typical errors if any and score the sprint techniques on the whole in 17 aspects. The expert scores were verified by objective mathematical statistic tools to find contradictions in the expert scores and ratings. Since every expert used 17 variables to rate the sprint techniques of the 10 athletes, the data array totaled 1700 values processed by the mathematical statistics toolkit. The analytical method tested by the study made it possible to find 3508 associative rules to rate the modern sprint techniques including 252 core rules with the maximal meaning and dependability rates. The study demonstrates benefits of the new motor skill analyzing method based on expert valuations verifiable by the associative rules and movement biomechanics.

Keywords: movement biomechanics, sport techniques, blunders in motor skills, sprint, associative rules.
