Biological maturation of Portuguese rhythmic gymnasts in different competition levels of performance

Abstract: The aims of the present study were: (1) identify and compare the biological maturity in Portuguese gymnasts across competitive levels; (2) investigate how morphological variables and training volume behave in the different status and indicators of maturity and (3) determinate if the maturity status influences the competitive performance. The sample (n=164) consisted of three competition levels (Base, 1st division and Elite) from Portugal. Anthropometric measurements and body composition were performed. For ana… Show more

“…It is described that a proper strength/power profile is required from early age for gymnasts to be able to learn the new target skills [12]. As a result, there is a need to develop general strength capacity in gymnasts across their training career [13] and in all levels of performance [14], as well as to produce more in-depth research on strength to assist the future development of gymnastics [14]. The application of supplementary programs with plyometric [15,16], strength [16,17] and proprioceptive exercises [18] is a valid way to increase gymnasts' jumping performance, even at young ages [19].…”

“…Others used the Optojump System [17] and a piezoelectric platform [16]. A previous study evaluated the jump height through the vertical jump test (VJ) [14], in which the athletes jump as high as possible, marking the highest point reached (using ink on the middle finger) [27]. This instrument seems to be easy to handle and access to coaches, allowing to efficiently monitor gymnasts' jump height during training [13,14]; however, the remaining instruments allow to obtain data regarding the jump mechanical variables, which provides more detailed information for coaches.…”
