FITNESS TRAINING OF ATHLETES IN FREESTYLE SKIING

TREINAMENTO DE APTIDÃO FÍSICA DE ATLETAS EM ESQUI DE ESTILO LIVRE

ENTRENAMIENTO DE APTITUD FÍSICA DE ATLETAS EN ESQUÍ DE ESTILO LIBRE

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Physical training is essential to physical fitness in freestyle skiers. The domain of stability in the technical movements is a determinant of the competition, always constantly improving.

Objective:

Develop a physical training program adapted to freestyle skiing.

Methods:

Twelve freestyle skiers were selected as volunteers for the experiment. This paper compares athletes’ physical qualities and individual abilities before and after physical training. Through recent research, the athletes’ physical condition was comprehensively evaluated to test the effectiveness of their physical training.

results:

Freestyle skiers showed good anaerobic fitness. A relationship was found between the maximum number of thrusts, the degree of spin in the air, the maximum power duration, and the power decay rate (P<0.05). In the body balance test, the lower limbs showed deficiencies in anteroposterior mobility, while bipodal balance showed no significantly statistical differences (P>0.05).

Conclusion:

This paper systematically studies body composition, the center of gravity strength, anaerobic capacity, and balance in freestyle skiers. The results provide a good assessment of the effect of fitness training on freestyle ski athletes. These results have particular guiding significance for formulating and implementing training programs focused on the sport. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
