Objective of the study was to compare the spatial characteristics of the start technique and starting acceleration in 60 m and 60 m hurdles in men at the stage of higher sportsmanship.
Methods and structure of the study. The main method was the analysis of biomechanical parameters of motor action technique. For this, data from the IAAF biomechanical report of the men's final races in the 60 m and 60 m hurdles at the 2018 World Indoor Athletics Championships were used [3, 4].
Results and conclusions. In men running 60 m and 60 m hurdles in the starting blocks in the body position on the “attention” command, the analysis of spatial characteristics revealed significantly significant differences in the angle between the torso and thigh of the front leg (p≤0.05). In the exit phase from the blocks, the greatest differences are observed in the angles of extension of the knee joints and the inclination of the lower leg of the fly leg (p≤0.05). At the first three steps of the starting acceleration for hurdlers, all the studied angles have large average values. These results confirm the need to take into account the differences in the start technique and starting acceleration in smooth and barrier sprints when developing special training tools and exercises.

Keywords: sprint running, hurdling, sprint start and starting acceleration technique, 60 m run, 60 m hurdles run, spatial characteristics of running, biomechanical parameters of sprint running.
