The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the range of arm movement and the stride frequency of university-level sprinters from West Bengal. The subjects' ages ranged from 19 to 23 years. The video graphic technique was employed to record the movement for data collection. Two Nikon 3. ccd video cameras were used in this study. The cameras were positioned 15 meters away at both the frontal right and left, with the camera height set at 1.50 meters from the ground to obtain individual videography. The subjects' performances were captured under controlled conditions. To measure the range of arm movement, the angular distance from extreme shoulder flexion to extreme shoulder hyperextension was assessed. Motion analyzer software Kinovea version 0.8.15 (copyright @ 2006-2011joan charman and Cenyrib) was utilized to analyze the video films. The joint point method was employed to determine the angles of the joints. The data were analyzed using Pearson's product- moment correlation coefficient to ascertain the relationship between the range of arm movement and the stride frequency. The relationship between the range of arm movement and the stride frequency is negative.
