Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the track records and physical abilities in elite cyclists(keirin). Methods: Twenty three elite cyclists were measured height, weight, lower body circumference (thigh, calf, and ankle), basal physical abilities (grip/back muscle strength, 25m sprint, Sargent jump test, Burpee test, shuttle run test), one-repetition maximum (1RM) strength(back squat, bench press, leg curl, power clean, dead-lift, leg press), aerobic capacity (VO2max, METs, HRmax), and track records (200m and 500m). Stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate which physical abilities related to track records. Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between 200m track records and 2 variables which were the thigh circumference and 1RM leg press(p<.05). Also, the thigh circumference and 1RM leg press were significantly related to 500m track records(p<.05). Conclusions: The results showed that the thigh circumference and maximal strength were associated with the track records in elite cyclists(keirin).
