“…4,8,9,10,15,16 Maximum oxygen consumption has been shown to be highly correlated with rate of recovery, which specifically relates to adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine replenishment. 2 Such an adaptation may have been responsible for the sustained ball velocity observed during performance of the post-training 20-throw endurance test, 5,17,18 which could provide a performance advantage in the latter innings of a game. Furthermore, improved fatigue resistance may also reduce susceptibility to overuse throwing injuries.…”

Context:High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to improve muscle power and endurance, as well as aerobic power.Objective:To assess the effects of HIIT that utilizes resistive elastic bands to improve overhand throwing velocity.Participants:Healthy female volunteers (n = 13) ranging in age from 18–29 years.Interventions:Participants were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group that exercised 3 days per week for 3 weeks. Each training session involved performance of 5 sets of 20 throwing motions against elastic band resistance, which was performed by both extremities.Main Outcome Measures:Maximal oxygen consumption was measured during performance of a graded exercise test that utilized an upper extremity cycle ergometer. A radar gun was used to assess peak throwing velocity and the extent to which throwing velocity was sustained during performance of a 20-throw endurance test.Results:After completing the training, the experimental group exhibited faster peak throwing velocity (61.6 ± 6.6 km/hr to 63.2 ± 8.6 km/hr) and a reduced fatigue index (1.18 ± 0.16 to 1.01 ± 0.02). Training also resulted in a 14% improvement in maximum oxygen consumption (1.40 ± 0.46 L/min to 1.60 ± 0.49 L/ min) and longer time to fatigue (9.99 ± 1.84 min to 11.43 ± 2.29 min).Conclusion:The high-intensity interval training program was effective for improvement of overhand throwing performance.

“…No entanto, entre nadadores, é mais comum a avaliação da sua capacidade anaeróbica com a utilização do teste de Wingate para membros inferiores ou superiores (Colantonio et al, 2003). A realização de testes de Wingate entre nadadores, embora possibilite a avaliação das capacidades anaeróbicas, pode não representar a especificidade de teste que o gesto desportivo exige.…”

“…A summary impact of the parameters of pulmonary function, maximum oxygen uptake and heart rate at rest on the exercise of specific motor skills was the consequence of a long-term training process. In the water polo players with years-long sports experience, there is the potential of their heart function to adapt more rapidly to challenging events and they also have a lower heart rate at rest (Okičić, 1999; Pavlik et al, 2001a; Pavlik et al, 2005), leading even to athletic bradycardia in top water polo players (Petridis et al, 2003; Zakynthinos et al, 2001) and high values of VO 2peak and pulmonary function parameters in their senior sports age (Colantonio et al, 2003; Frenkl et al, 2001; Geladas and Platanou, 2000; Horváth et al, 2009; Marrin and Bampouras, 2008; Pavlik et al, 2001b; Pavlik et al, 2005; Platanou et al, 2009; Smith, 1998; Tan et al, 2009; Tsekouras et al, 2005). …”

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of functional abilities on specificmotor skills. A total number of 92 male water polo players (age 12±0.5 years, body height 156.96±22.3 cm, body weight 51.02±33.18 kg) with at least two years’ experience, were enrolled in the study. The investigation protocol consisted of standardized anthropometric measurements, estimation of maximum oxygen uptake, determination of the lung function values, specific swim tests and swim tests with a ball. The factor analysis was used for the estimation of the structure of specific motor skills. The influence of functional abilities on specific motor skills was estimated by regression analysis. Out of 15 correlations in total between the variables of space of functional abilities of water polo players, 6 were significant at the level of 95% (between the variables of aerobic power and lung function) and all of the correlations (15) between the variables of specific motor skills in water polo players were significant at the 99% level. Only one principal component, the General factor of specific motor skills in water polo (GFSWP) was obtained by way of factorization of the tests of specific motor skills, so the GFSWP represents the latent space of specific motor skills as a criterion. The regression analysis showed that functional abilities (as group predictors) (p= 0.00) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (as a separate variable) have a significant influence on GFSWP (the criterion). The results of the study pointed out the impact of functional abilities on specific motor skills of selected young water polo players. This may be important for the selection and effective coaching in the early period of training and can affect the development of more appropriate and specific training programmes for optimal physical fitness preparation in young water polo players.
