Perfil físico e fisiológico de jovens atletas da patinação artística sobre rodas

Introduction: Figure Skating is a sport on the rise, especially the sport on wheels. The sport has several modalities with different physical and physiological profiles, however there is a limitation of information related to the profile of young athletes of figure skating on wheels. Objective: To identify the physical and physiological profile of young figure skating athletes on wheels. Materials and methods: The sample consisted of eigth athletes from different modalities of Figure Skating on Wheels aged between 11 and 15 years of female scans of national level. The physical and physiological profile was determined through the variables of body composition, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2peak), muscle torque, anaerobic power of the lower limbs, flexibility, and level of physical activity. Results: VO2peak presented mean values of 50.6 ± 4.9 ml.kg-1.min-1, isometric torque 136 ± 62 Nm, concentric torque 107 ± 46 Nm, eccentric torque 145 ± 63 Nm, flexibility of 39.8 ± 8.0 cm, CMJ 29.2 ± 3.1 cm, SJ 23.6 ± 3.5 cm, %FM 26.9 ± 3.9, %FFM 73.1 ± 3.9, MM 34.9 ± 7.2 Kg, FM 13.4 ± 5.1 Kg, BMC 2097 ± 478 g, BMD 1.124 ± 0.15 g/cm2 and physical activity level 9.3 ± 4.7 hours training per week. Conclusion: Figure skating athletes on national-level wheels have good average results of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle torque, hamstring flexibility, jump height, and a low average weekly workout workload.
