“…We attribute this circumstance to the same reason defined for the hand strength tests [25]. The results in manual grip strength values were much lower compared to another study in elite sailors in the Optimist (31.4 ± 4 vs. 24.3 ± 4.7; 31.4 ± 4 vs. 22.8 ± 4.4) and Laser (54.6 ± 3.6 vs. 36.6 ± 6.9; 54.6 ± 3.6 vs. 35.2 ± 6.2) classes [26]. It must be taken into account that this study presents the average value of the right and left hand, and that the average age of the Optimist and Laser class groups was 12.3 ± 1.4 and 16.5 ± 1.6 years, respectively.…”

In sport sailing, performance is related to the sailor’s ability to maintain the stability of the boat, and the boat class determines the variables involved in such ability. In monohull-type vessels, such as the Optimist and Laser classes, the flexibility of the hip joint is a key performance factor. In the Windsurfing class, performance is determined by the strength of the flexors of the fingers and elbows. The performance of the sailor may be affected by asymmetries in the strength and flexibility of the muscles and joints involved in technical actions. The objective of this study was to evaluate asymmetries in strength and flexibility in young sailors. Thirty-three young sailors (ten girls) from the Windsurfing, Optimist and Laser classes were assessed for manual strength and flexibility, by dynamometry and straight leg lift tests, respectively. The symmetry index and the functional asymmetry of compression force were calculated. The results showed no differences between sailors according to gender. The sailors of the Laser class obtained the highest levels of manual strength, whereas those of the Windsurfing class showed the highest flexibility levels. The girls’ group and Windsurfing class had the highest percentage of sailors with strength asymmetry, whereas, the sailors of the Optimist class presented a greater percentage of asymmetry in flexibility. There were no differences in upper limb strength and lower limb flexibility between the dominant and non-dominant sides.

“…The research demonstrated that participating in ice hockey, swimming, and artistic gymnastics improved specific aspects of motor coordination. However, there is a versatility in motor coordination experiences during childhood and adolescence that has been shown to be a strong predictor of later athletic success [2][3][4][5][6]. Therefore, it is important that youth training programs include practice involving a variety of motor coordination characteristics.…”

Purpose. Motor coordination is proposed to be a relatively stable age-related construct, unlikely to be influenced by aligned experiential factors such as intensive sport-specific training. The purpose of the study is to investigate if there are differences in motor coordination abilities among young artistic gymnasts, swimmers, and ice hockey players. Methods. The participants of the study were 508 female and 258 male adolescents (age, M = 12.80, SD = 1.10) comprising artistic gymnasts (n = 463), swimmers (n = 70), and ice hockey players (n = 233). The KTK-test protocol was used to analyse their gross motor coordination abilities.Results. The results of the study demonstrated that gymnasts scored better than ice hockey players and swimmers in the test of walking backwards along a beam, and better than ice hockey players in total motor coordination, hopping over an obstacle, and the test of moving sideways on wooden boards. However, ice hockey players scored higher than swimmers and gymnasts in the test of jumping from side to side. Subsequently, swimmers obtained better results in the test of moving sideways on wooden boards as compared with ice hockey players. Conclusions. The study results indicate that intensive sport-specific training may extend young athletes' motor coordination characteristics in the ability areas representative of the sport in which they engage.

“…This is due to the fact that motor skills and motor performance are powerful indicators of children's health conditions and success in sports (Vandorpe et al, 2012a;Callewaert et al, 2015;Pion et al, 2015). It is evident that there are several factors that affect motor performance, one of which is the participation in sports.…”

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between motor performances of children aged 10-14 years and ball striking speeds made by specific technique and to determine motor performance differences between the branches. A total of 64 children (football = 22, volleyball = 19, tennis = 23) aged 10-14 years participated in the study. The motor performances of the children participating in the study were determined with the Dordel Koch Test and the ball hitting velocities with the radar instrument. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between ball hitting velocities and motor performance, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the difference between the engine performances of the branches. According to the results obtained, there was a positive correlation between the DKTstanding long jump performance of the soccer players and the shooting speeds, between the volleyball players' DKTshuttle and DKTpush-up performances and the service speeds, between the DKT shuttle and DKT push-up performances of the tennis players and service and forehand strokes p<0.01. It was determined that soccer players had higher performance than both tennis players and volleyball players in the DKTpush-up test, while football players in DKTbalance test had lower performance than both tennis players and volleyball players p <0.05. As a result, it has been found that motor performances differ according to the children's branches. In addition, it is considered that the requirements of the sports branch (active use of the lower extremity, volleyball and upper extremity in the football) are effective on motor performance.
