Women's Artistic Gymnastics manages to raise a great deal of interest from both spectators and TV viewers. Though the Vault event has a short execution time, it is a highly dynamic and spectacular performance that makes it very attractive to the public. The preparation for those 5-7 seconds of performance on the vault apparatus must be very rigorou...

Objetivo: Investigar o efeito de diferentes protocolos de treinamento (com e sem treinamento de flexibilidade) na flexão e extensão do quadril e seu reflexo sobre o salto vertical. Materiais e Métodos: O estudo contou com 48 atletas de voleibol do sexo feminino, com idades entre 11 e 17 anos, distribuídas em quatro grupos: A “Infantil” (n=12); B “I...

To analyze the variability and longitudinal stress-related changes in ulnar variance (UV) in a group of immature artistic gymnasts. The relationship between UV and a group of biological and training variables was also investigated. Prospective cohort study. Portuguese Federation of Gymnastics. Twenty-five Portuguese skeletally immature gymnasts com...

Ulnar variance is the relative length of ulna in relation to the radius. This morphological variation in the distal epiphyseal structures may lead to symptoms or pathologic changes to the wrist joint. In order to evaluate and quantify distal radioulnar length discrepancy, different imaging techniques are used, depending on the individual's maturity...

Structure and evolution trends of the external load in uneven bars. Analysis of the rotations in competition routines Although the Artistic Gymnastics is referred as a sport associated to high volumes and intensities of training, there are few objective studies to support these conclusions. Purpose of the present study was to char- acterize and eva...

O objectivo geral deste estudo foi analisar e caracterizar as lesões ocorridas ao longo da época desportiva 2006/2007 na totalidade das ginastas portuguesas de competição. Foram observadas 79 atletas de Ginástica Artística Feminina, com idades entre os 6 e 18 anos, treinando em média 14,15h/semana. As lesões foram categorizadas em função da etiolog...

Purpose This study was to investigate the association between ulnar variance (UV) and biological and training characteristics, handgrip, and wrist pain in a group of 23 Portuguese skeletally immature male gymnasts (aged 11.2 ± 2.5 years). Methods Left and right UV was obtained using Hafner's procedure and skeletal age was determined by the Tanner–...

The aims of this study were to investigate the ulnar variance in a group of skeletally immature female gymnasts of different age and skill level and to investigate the left-right differences in ulnar variance and its relationship with biological and training characteristics and handgrip strength. Thirty-three Portuguese skeletally immature female g...

The purpose of the study was to analyze the physical activity and the determinants of sedentary behavior in 1,268 Brazilian adolescents (638 girls, 630 boys) between the ages of 15 and 18 years, randomly selected from a relatively underdeveloped region. Data were collected from a community-based survey in the city of João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. I...

Purpose of the present study was to characterize and analyse the evolution of real difficulty value of full routines, parts and specific kind of elements of Uneven Bars. Besides the full routine difficulty were analyzed the mount, dismount, flight elements, first and second half routines, bars changes, elements executed on low and high bar, number...

O objectivo do presente estudo foi caracterizar e analisar a evolução do valor real de dificuldade dos exercícios de competição completos, partes ou tipos específicos de elementos em Paralelas Assimétricas. Com base em procedimentos característicos da metodologia observacional, foi construída e validada uma categoria de observação compreendendo 15...

ABSTRACT Although the Artistic Gymnastics is referred as a sport associated to high volumes and intensities of training, there are few, objective studies to support these conclusions. When we consider the level of the external load, we just find some references that characterize the training sessions, in what refers its duration, frequency and am...

To analyse the physical growth of a representative school population sample from the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in comparison with the reference proposed by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-2000). The sample was composed of 5100 individuals (2730 girls and 2370 boys), aged 6-18 years. Body weight-for-age and heigh...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and characterize external load trends related to flight elements in elite level uneven bars routines, based on analyses from 83 uneven bars routines from the world championships and the Olympic Games finals between 1989 and 2004. An observation category was constructed and validated, comprising eleven varia...

As a consequence of changes on apparatus structure and Code of Points, gymnasts are using more and more the straigth body position in Uneven Bars routines. Purpose of the present study was to analyse the infl uence of “in bar” elements on body position during Uneven Bars routines. Observational methodology was used to construct and validate two obs...

Although the Artistic Gymnastics is referred as a sport associated to high volumes and intensities of training, there are few objective studies to support these conclusions. Purpose of the present study was to characterize and evaluate external load trends in high level uneven bars routine, based on the rotations analysis. Through the observational...

Sports practice is not exempt of risks and each sport discipline presents a tendency for a specific type of injury inherent to its practice. The purpose of this study was to analyze and characterize the injuries occurred during the 2006/2007 season in all competitive Portuguese gymnasts. The sample was composed by 79 female artistic gymnasts, aged...

As a consequence of changes on the apparatus structure and Code of Points changes, gymnasts should use more the straight body position in Uneven Bars routines. Purpose of the present study was to analyse the influence of “in bar” elements on body position during Uneven Bars routines. Observational methodology was used to construct and validate two...

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of anthropometric and maturity characteristics in the occurrence of injury in Portuguese female artistic gymnasts. Sample was composed by 79 female artistic gymnasts, aged between 6 and 18 years old. The anthropometrical measures analysed were weight, height, tricipital and sub-scapular skinfolds a...

As a consequence of changes in apparatus structure and Code of Points, gymnasts are using the straight bodyposition more and more in Uneven Bars routines. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the influence of “in bar”elements on body position during Uneven Bars routines. Observational methodology was used to construct and validate twoobs...

Introduction Specific literature in Artistic Gymnastics is rich in considerations about evolution trends of flight elements in uneven bars routines. Based on the analyses of total participants in world championships and Olympic Games we can observe that gymnasts performed more flight elements in last Olympic cycle compared with preceding cycles. In...
