Factors Affecting the Performance of 110-Meter Hurdles in Pakistan. A Qualitative Case Study of Hurdles and Coaches
Hurdling is an exciting and explosive event in track and field competitions. Athletes display power and outstanding mind body coordination to get to the finish line as fast as possible. It is modified sprinting. Hurdling is a very technical and energy-demanding, exciting, and challenging event. A qualitative study was conducted with 10 participants, 7 elite hurdles , and 3 coaches from national training camps at Islamabad and Lahore. The data was collected through interviews (semi-structured). Five themes were extracted from the data, technical development, lack of qualified coaches, lack of competition structure, psychological status, and socio-economic status of 110m hurdles in Pakistan. Enhancing techniques over hurdles, coaching education system, provision of sports psychologists and mental training, and improving financial incentives in terms of scholarships and funding from the government, could enhance the performance of 110-meter hurdles to an international level.
