 This paper is a study about the effects of the loaded position of a weight jacket on the body balance of a sprinter. Subjects wore a weight jacket with four loads. Each load is 1 kg. Four arrangements of the load were examined.
 The subjects were 6 male sprinters. They ran straight 30 m after taking 30 min warm-up. The time of their 30 m straight run and the change of the weight jacket vibration were measured. The weight jacket's influences to their movements during the exercise were inquired.
 From these results, the best arrangement was found. In order to make up the running speed and power, it was the best to load on the both sides of the body.
