Major changes have occurred to theories on sprint techniques in China over the last half a century. For boosting the development of theories on sprint techniques in China and thus quickly enhancing sprint performance, it is very important to review and summarize hot issues that have once been debated by many researchers. The “reverse parabolic type” landing technique and “bending striding type” sprint technique have be-come important characteristics of modern sprint techniques. The importance of the views in the “hip power” theory and relaxation techniques for racing performance has been generally recognized by all. However, such issues as what effects will be produced by the “inverse parabolic type” landing technique on moving techniques in the entire supporting stage, how to smoothly connect sprint techniques on different racetracks, how to enhance the applicabil-ity of the “reverse parabolic type” technique on cinder and clay racetracks, and how to provide technical diagnosis and guidance for athletes at different levels according to their technical characteristics, figure conditions and com-mon technical characteristics of athletes at the same level, need to be further studied. In addition, immediate actions should be taken to strengthen the study of methods and means for relaxation training.
