This is an experimental study of 12-weeks uphill-downhill training program for developing kinematics in high school students. A random group design was adopted to divide the thirty (30) subjects into two groups (experimental group and control group) of fifteen (15) subjects in each. The Controlled Group (CG) was not allowed to participate in the training programme except in their daily routine. The experimental group was administered an uphill-downhill training program to develop kinematics in high school students. The kinematic variables are steps & stride length in 30 metre and 50 metre sprints. Data were collected in two parts as pre and post of 12 weeks training program using the Kinovea Software. Subjects were informed about the purpose of the study and how to execute the test by demonstration. To compare the mean differences between the pre and post test scores in each criterion measure, a paired ‘t’-test was applied by using SPSS. To test this hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that 12 weeks of uphill-downhill training showed significant improvement in the steps and stride length in both 30 metre and 50 metre sprints of high school students. However, no significant improvement was observed in either of the control groups.
