“…Given that in this study the participants were high-level young gymnasts, even borderline differences that have a moderate effect size may be "practically significant" in providing useful information for the training and selection process (Tran et al, 2015). Standing and balancing on the ball of the foot requires a correct body posture, body alignment and a stable ‘releve’ position.…”

“…Correct technical execution is at the same time a demand for success and a prerequisite for future technical development. In that aspect, physical fitness forms the basis of technical skill development in youth sports (Faigenbaum et al, 2009; Lloyd and Oliver, 2014) while a higher level of physical fitness is often related to a higher level of performance (Piazza et al, 2014; Tran et al, 2015). Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the association between selected physical fitness variables and the technical execution score in young rhythmic gymnasts varying in the performance level.…”

This study examined the association between physical fitness and a technical execution score in rhythmic gymnasts varying in the performance level. Forty-six young rhythmic gymnasts (age: 9.9 ±1.3 years) were divided into two groups (qualifiers, n=24 and non-qualifiers, n=22) based on the results of the National Championships. Gymnasts underwent a series of physical fitness tests and technical execution was evaluated in a routine without apparatus. There were significant differences between qualifiers and non-qualifiers in the technical execution score (p=0.01, d=1.0), shoulder flexion (p=0.01, d=0.8), straight leg raise (p=0.004, d=0.9), sideways leg extension (p=0.002, d=0.9) and body fat (p=.021, d=0.7), but no differences were found in muscular endurance and jumping performance. The technical execution score for the non-qualifiers was significantly correlated with shoulder extension (r=0.423, p<0.05), sideways leg extension (r=0.687, p<0.01), push ups (r=0.437, p<0.05) and body fat (r=0.642, p<0.01), while there was only one significant correlation with sideways leg extension (r=0.467, p<0.05) for the qualifiers. Multiple regression analysis revealed that sideways leg extension, body fat, and push ups accounted for a large part (62.9%) of the variance in the technical execution score for the non-qualifiers, while for the qualifiers, only 37.3% of the variance in the technical execution score was accounted for by sideways leg extension and spine flexibility. In conclusion, flexibility and body composition can effectively discriminate between qualifiers and non-qualifiers in youth rhythmic gymnastics. At the lower level of performance (non-qualifiers), physical fitness seems to have a greater effect on the technical execution score.

“…In addition, bodyboarding scoring potential places strong emphasis on aerial manoeuvres on bigger and heavier sections of waves (Surfing Australia, 2017). In order to undertake complex high-risk manoeuvres in such situations, high technique levels are required and whole-body strength and power characteristics needed to tolerate the physical demands of such movements (Tran et al, 2015) and landings.…”

Surfing can be considered an intermittent activity with different intensities, were fitness level of surfing athletes contributes to a better performance in both training and competition. Despite some knowledge about the fitness levels of elite surfers, there is limited published research examining the training profile of elite Bodyboarders and is influence in competition outcomes. During the Viana World Bodyboard Pro in Viana do Castelo, 49 elite bodyboarders, replied a retrospective questionnaire that include training habits. Spearmen correlation and Mann-Whitney test was applied to determine possible associations and comparation between groups. The ending ranking in the world tour is influenced by the practice of Physical Training and the fact that have a coach (p< 0.05). Bodyboarding is more than a recreational sport needing a new insight regarding sports specific season plan, that allow athletes compete at higher level. Specially for Junior athlete's, physical training is key factor for accomplish better performance.Resumen: El surf puede considerarse una actividad intermitente, con el nivel de condición física a contribuir para un mejor rendimiento tanto en el entrenamiento como en la competición. A pesar de algunos conocimientos sobre los niveles de aptitud de los surfistas de élite, la investigación que examina el perfil de entrenamiento de Bodyboarders de elite y su influencia en los resultados de la competición es limitada. Durante el Viana World Bodyboard Pro, 49 bodyboarders de élite respondieron un cuestionario retrospectivo. La correlación de Spearmen y la prueba de Mann-Whitney se aplicaron para determinar posibles asociaciones y comparaciones entre grupos. La clasificación final en lo circuito mundial está influenciada por la práctica de Entrenamiento Físico y tener entrenador (p<0.05). El bodyboard es más que un deporte recreativo que necesita una nueva visión sobre la planificación específica. Especialmente para atletas junior, el entrenamiento físico es un factor clave para lograr un mejor rendimiento.

“…Furthermore, greater physical qualities [e.g., strength and power] have been reported to associate with surfing performance [28,30]. Recent evidence revealed physical performance reflected selection from a group of elite junior surfers to represent Surfing Australia National Junior Team at the International Surfing Association World Junior Surfing Championship [33]. Collectively, these studies demonstrated the importance of physical qualities for surfing performance and using a group of junior surfers distinguished physical performance among selected and non-selected elite junior surfers.…”
