IMPROVING EXPLOSIVE BODY CAPACITY IN FEMALE SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATERS

MELHORIA DA CAPACIDADE EXPLOSIVA CORPORAL EM PATINADORAS DE VELOCIDADE EM PISTA CURTA

MEJORA DE LA CAPACIDAD EXPLOSIVA CORPORAL EN PATINADORAS DE VELOCIDAD EN PISTA CORTA

ABSTRACT

Introduction

The peculiar characteristics of short track speed skating should be integrated into the psychology of competitions; it is considered that elite athletes engaged in this particular sport should have a healthy psychic condition.

Objective

Investigate the explosive power of female speed skaters in short track speed skating.

Methods

10 key athletes from the national short track speed skating team were selected, and explosive power was tested by T-test, hexagonal test, and pro sensitivity test. Data analysis was performed using an independent sample t-test, differences in the results of related test indicators between groups were analyzed, and repeated measures analysis of variance was used.

Results

During the explosive kick phase, knee extension speed increased linearly from 210°/S to 600°/S, and hip extension speed increased linearly from 200°/S to 400°/S.

Conclusion

The development of muscle group strength and explosive power during training often shows differences in the degree of contraction, which is related to the arrangement of training methods. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
