The work of the arms in sprinting is important in terms of the formation of optimal and effective running technique. Unfortunately, when training short-distance runners, many teachers and coaches do not pay enough attention to the development of the upper limb girdle, in relation to the technique of distance movement. The activity of the arms in speed running is determined by the level of strength, joint mobility, and the athlete's ability to perform movements freely and fluidly. It is important that the development of the muscular and ligamentous system corresponds to the spatial-temporal and dynamic characteristics of arm movements in different phases of running. The article presents a method for the development of the upper shoulder girdle with the help of sets of exercises of conjugated impact in relation to speed running, which was tested during training and optional classes with 2nd year students of SUAI. The technique includes 3 blocks of tasks aimed at increasing the muscle strength of the arms, increasing mobility in the shoulder joints and exercises for relaxation and emancipation. The results of the experiment showed the effectiveness of the method, since those who practiced it during the school year managed to improve the average result in the 100-meter run by 0.35 seconds, while the usual training program made it possible to improve the result of students only by 0.23 seconds. This study once again emphasized the importance of specialized upper shoulder girdle training in terms of optimizing and enhancing overall technique for short-distance running.
