hey :) all help appreciated no matter how little information your giving me !
I just want to know different fitness components which are important for athletes who compete in 100 m sprints.
Things like... cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, power and muscular strength.
Which of them /\ are important?
thankyou very much for reading and (hopefully) answering.
 
Of the ones you listed, flexibility, power and muscular strength would all be important in the 100m dash. Definitely don't need the CV and muscular endurance.

CVE is the ability of the heart to provide oxygen to muscles during physical activity for a prolonged period of time. The 100m dash is an anaerobic race. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to do continuous work over a long period of time, which the 100m is not a long period of time. Reaction time would be pretty important in regards to this race.
