EFEITOS DOS EXERCÍCIOS DE AQUECIMENTO COM TREINAMENTO INTERVALADO NA APTIDÃO FÍSICA DE GINASTAS

EFECTOS DE LOS EJERCICIOS DE CALENTAMIENTO CON ENTRENAMIENTO DE INTERVALOS EN LA APTITUD FÍSICA DE GIMNASTAS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Competitive gymnastics training is extremely debated in the Chinese scientific community. It is only when coaches choose proper physical training methods, they can fundamentally improve gymnasts’ physical fitness.

Objective:

Analyze the effect of warm-up exercises on gymnasts’ physical fitness. At the same time, this paper analyzes the factors that influence the indicators of gymnasts’ physical fitness.

Methods:

This paper selects several gymnasts as research objects. The gymnasts perform physical training with interval training warm-up for two months. Data of gymnasts’ physical constitution and the indicators related to their function are tracked and tested. Morphological indicators include height, circumference and body composition; functional indicators include multiple physiological and biochemical indicators (blood and urine analysis).

Results:

Gymnasts increased urea and creatine kinase concentrations after warm-up physical training. However, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). The primary functional status of the athletes was stable. The results showed a normal resting heart rate and a reduction of blood pressure in the elite athletes.

Conclusion:

Gymnasts using interval training can maintain high intensity levels for prolonged periods. The indicators of physical fitness were above average. However, players’ fitness to complete the movement set needs to be improved. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
