Abstract
POLEVOY, Georgiy; FUENTES-BARRIA, Héctor and AGUILERA-EGUIA, Raúl. Development of physical fitness through simulation exercises for ski racers aged 13-14. Non-randomized quasi-experimental study. Rev. Investig. Innov. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2024, vol.6, n.2, pp.177-187. Epub June 06, 2024. ISSN 2665-2056. https://doi.org/10.46634/riics.267.
Introduction:
In recent decades, the level of skiing performance in Russia has decreased significantly. This has necessitated problems with the preparation of athletes for competitions and the training process.
Objective:
To analyze the effects of simulation training tools on the physical condition of ski racers aged 13-14 years.
Methods:
Quasi-experimental, non-randomized study. 40 cross-country skiers aged 13-14 years belonging to the Korshik Village sports school (Russia) were assigned to a control (n = 20) and experimental (n = 20) group. Classes in the control group were conducted according to the usual training plan and in the experimental group simulation exercises were used. The control tests included pull-ups, squats, two-legged long jump, simulated 100-meter climbing and a 500-meter running test.
Results:
The control group showed no significant improvements (p > 0.05), while the experimental group reported significant improvements in pull-ups (22.2%; p< 0.05), squat (5.9%; p< 0.05), two-legged long jump (6.8%; p< 0.05), 100-meter climbing simulation (7.8%; p< 0.05) and 500-meter run (4.2 %, p <0.05).
Conclusion:
If, in the preparatory period, a series of simulation exercises are included in the training program for skiers aged 13-14 years, the level of physical fitness of athletes will improve significantly.
