The investigation of physical capacity changes in yearly training cycle on Alpine skiers’ example
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2008, Vol 18, Issue 43
Abstract
The most principal physiological feature of Alpine skier should be high aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Adequateexercise tests allow to determine the current level of the skiers’ physical capacity. An indepth analysis of the obtained results enables appropriate methods and training loads selection, which simultaneously should be confronted with the current level of psychological and physical health. Only such comprehensive approach to the training control issue can lead to certain results accomplishment.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of an Alpine skier during a yearly training cycle.An elite Alpine skier participated in the study. Physical capacity tests were performed during the three phases of a yearly training cycle (introductory, preparatory and starting phase). Oxygen uptake was estimated during the incremental test and the anaerobic physical capacity was evaluated in a 30-second Wingate test.The aerobic capacity decreased slightly at the three training phases. This together with lower VO2 max in comparison with world class skiers [2] provokes recommendation to put more emphasis on the endurance component of the training in the initial phases of the yearly training cycle.The analysis of the Wingate test results indicates a correct tendency to increase the value of the maximum power as well as times of its achievement and maintenance in subsequent phases. The power decline index was decreasing progressively. The obtained results suggest an appropriate training loads selection, but in order to increase the peak maximum power more repetitive exercises are recommended.
