The present study was undertaken to analyze the different track surfaces running resistance training impact on stride length performance of men sprinters. Total N=100 (hundred) male engineering students age ranging from 18-20 years selected from Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge and Technology, Ongole campus, Andhra Pradesh, India. The chosen sprinters were assigned into five subgroups by the equated group design on the bases of 100 meters run result performance. The subgroups namely empirical group – I considered as sand surface sprint training [SSTG = 20], empirical group –II considered as grass surface for sled sprint training [GSTG =20], empirical group – III considered as mud surface for up & down hill sprint training [MHTG=20], empirical group IV combined sand sled and up & down hill sprint training [SGMG=20] and control [CG=20] group –V were restricted from taking part any specific coaching program (Under observation). The training period was for a twelve weeks. The data were collected before and after the training by conducting ten stride length test (meters). The obtained data’s were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 levels. The results of the study showed that that sand surface sprint training, grass surface sled sprint training, mud surface up & down hill sprint training and combined sand sled and up & down hill sprint training were effective to increase the stride length performance of sprinters comparative to control group.
