Choice of sprint start performance measure affects the performance-based ranking within a group of sprinters: which is the most appropriate measure?

abstract：:In-shoe plantar pressure systems are commonly used in clinical and research settings to assess foot function during functional tasks. Recently, Tekscan® has updated their F-Scan® in-shoe plantar pressure system; however, this system's test-retest reliability has not been established. Therefore, the purpose of this stu...
