Abstract: The present work tries to identify and measure the dynamic benefits of the bobsledding in the sprint runners training. We were encouraged in our research by the worldwide tendency of the athletes to practice bobsledding and also, by the fact that Romanian bobsledding female team participating in 2016 World Championship was exclusively made of athletes practicing, during the summer, sprint running, long jumps or combined events. Furthermore, in the 2016 Bobsledding Skeleton National Championship the podium belonged mostly to the girl athletes (17 sportswomen out of 24).In this present paper, studies were made on the acceleration parameters within the two disciplines and the tools that could result in an improvement of the time records on short distances and could be implemented in the athletic training were identified. The aim of this study is to encourage the symbiosis of these sports disciplines that, in our opinion, are complementary.
