To serve this purpose 150 subjects were selected from Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, of which 50 each from high, normal and low foot arch index groups. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 14 to 17 years, 155 to 169cms and 42 to 57kgs respectively. The arch index was determined as the ratio between mid foot area divided by the whole foot print area. The speed was assessed by following 30mts. flying start.
