Schematic representation of extended sprint speed curves was carried out on the basis of analysis of achieved results of four sprinter girls at 400 metres distance. Kinematic analysis was carried out for top three young Montenegrian athletes ,who are the members of AC ’JEDINSTVO’ from Bijelo Polje, Their results are currently the best, or among the best results in Montenegro and they are very similar to the results Kolet Beson (France) achieved when she won the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968. The speed curve is calculated by measurng the starting time on every 50m, from the start of the race to its finish. By calculating certain parametres the fundamental kinematic elements were established. : speed motion, crossed path and time. According to these kinetic elements, the speed diagram for all four sprinters was gained. Characteristic oscilations of the speed curve reveal the basic signs of quality of running and abilities to dispose their strength on the path. Also, this diagram indicates to some methodical oversight and mistakes made during the training and advancement in running technicques. These information are really valuable because they can serve a lot in some future training and preparation of the young sprinters.
