Tittle: Comparative analysis of addirect forward stroke perfomed on single canoe in flatwater canoeing and in paddle pool. Goals: The goals of study is to describe and compaq the movement pattern of a forvard paddle stroke on a canoe in flatwater and in the paddling pool. Methods: The work has mixed empirical-theoretical character, The study is a descriptive individual study. Muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography with synchronized video recording (kinematic analysis). Results: We found differences in muscles involved in the direct paddle stroke forward on canoe and paddle pool. The main differences are, that on the water the boat goes to the paddle and in the paddle pool, we push the water around us.In the first case the athlete push the boat towards to the paddle. However in the paddle pool the athlete just pulls paddle through the water. Another important difference is, that in the paddle pool we do not develop the "water feeling" and in the paddle pool does not have to keep balance. Canoeist is on solid grand all the time. For the winter season, we can recommend a paddle pool as a specific strengthening, but the paddling or ride on water on water does not replace it. Key words: Flatwater canoeing, paddle pool, elektromyography, forward stroke, canoe

Esta faz parte da programação dos jogos olímpicos desde o ano de 1936. Desta maneira, por tratar - se de modalidade competitiva, a busca pelo aumento no desempenho dos atletas está intrinsecamente relacionada ao êxito da modalidade. Desta forma, a melhor organização e acompanhamento das variáveis que compõem o processo de treinamento auxiliam a obtenção deste êxito desportivo. O objetivo deste estudo foi acompanhar o processo de treinamento da seleção brasileira feminina de canoagem velocidade, estabelecendo métodos específicos para controle e avaliação das cargas de treinamento e também de indicadores funcionais externos, proporcionando assim a possibilidade de verificação da dinâmica de ambos durante esse processo. Para tanto, fizeram parte da amostra 4 atletas da Seleção Brasileira Feminina de Canoagem Velocidade. Durante um macrociclo de treinamento, constituído por 15 microciclos de preparação, foi verificado a dinâmica das cargas de treinamento através do método denominado sessão RPE, em que a cada sessão de treinamento são definidos os impulsos de treinamento (TRIMP¿s) que permitem a verificação da dinâmica das cargas de treinamento, bem como de outras duas variáveis que indicam o estado de fadiga acumulada no microciclo, e também a distribuição dos meios e métodos de treinamento dentro do microciclo. Além do acompanhamento das cargas de treino, verificou - se a dinâmica de alguns marcadores funcionais externos, que foram os parâmetros do modelo de velocidade crítica (VCrit), que fornecem uma estimativa das capacidades aeróbia e anaeróbia, a força máxima (1 AVMDC) e o desempenho na distância competitiva oficial (500m) e também na distância não oficial de 1500m. Os testes específicos na água foram realizados em embarcação individual (do tipo K1), embora durante o macrociclo, as atletas tenham realizado diversas sessões de treinamento em embarcação de formação (duplas ¿ K2; quartetos ¿ K4). Para análise dos dados foram utilizadas linhas de tendência lineares e polinomiais de 4ª ordem relacionadas a média e a mediana dos TRIMP¿s durante o macrociclo e para a dinâmica dos marcadores funcionais externos, foi utilizado as diferenças percentuais (delta percentual) das variáveis em questão. A dinâmica dos TRIMP¿s demonstrou coerência com o modelo de organização de treino aplicado. Para os parâmetros do modelo de VCrit, houve aumento em seu parâmetro aeróbio, quando houve maior carga aeróbia e para o parâmetro anaeróbio, o mesmo aumentou quando aumentou a carga anaeróbia. Para a força máxima, houve aumento em seus valores no momento final em relação cão momento inicial. Esse fenômeno pode ser explicado pela orientação da carga de treinamento para essa variável. E por fim, o desempenho apresentou melhora no último teste de controle em relação ao primeiro. Dessa forma, o objetivo final de um processo de treinamento foi alcançado, que é a melhora no desempenho das atletas.

It took part of Olympic program since 1936. In this way, to agree of a competitive modality, the search to improve athlete performance is closely related to success of the modality. Moreover, the better organization and accompany variables that fill the training process help in this sport success. In this manner, the aim of this research was to accompany the training process of Brazilian Canoeing Flatwater female team, establishing specifics methods to control and assess the training load and external functional indicators, allowing a possibility to verify these both dynamics¿ during these process. To this, 4 member of the Brazilian Canoeing Flatwater female team took part in this study. During a macrocycle constituted of 15 microcycles, it was verified the training load dynamics through the RPE based method, where in each training session were defined the training impulses (TRIMP¿s) which allow the training load verification, as well as other two variables that indicate the microcycle¿s strain and the mean and methods distribution inside the microcycle. Besides the training load accompany, were verified some external functional indicators like the parameters of the critical velocity model (VCrit), that provide athletes¿ aerobic and anaerobic capacity estimative. Was verified too the athletes¿ maximal strength through specific exercise and the performance in the official competitive distance (500m) and over 1500m. The specific canoeing test was made on individual boats (K1 type) although the athletes did training sessions on double (K2) and quartet (K4) boats. The data analyze were done by straight trend line and polinomial of 4th order related to TRIMP¿s mean and median during macrocyle and for the external functional indicators dynamics, the percentage changes were use (delta percentage) of these variables. The TRIMP¿s dynamics have showed coherent related to the training model applied. To Vcrit parameters, the dynamic showed agree with literature datas. The dynamic in response to training load agree with the literature findings. For the maximal strength, there was increase in the period. This phenomenon could be explained by the training load orientation. Finally, the end aim of training process was reached, with performance improve in the end / Mestrado / Ciencias do Desporto / Mestre em Educação Física

Title: Comparison of selected anthropometric parameters of competitive quadrathletes and racing kayakers. Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the somatotype and anthropometric characteristics in elite athletes in marathon kayakers and quadrathletes. Methods: This research included the analysis and comparison of two groups of athletes. Using the Heath-Carter system of measurement, somatotypes were calculated using the computer formula, 'Somatotype - Calculation and Analysis'. Body composition was determined through the use of skinfold calipers SK in conjunction with noninvasive bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Specifically, the Tanita 980 MS and BIA 2000 measurement units. Results: Two research samples were developed (speed kayakers as one, quadrathletes as the other), whose results (set average) were compared. On the basis of anthropometric data and calculations, it was found that both research samples corresponded in their somatotype category, ectomorphic mesomorph. According to this research, the speed kayakers (with a focus on marathon distances), are generally taller and heavier than the quadrathlete sample, yet had relatively less body fat. Keywords: Somatotype, body composition, BIA, skinfold, quadrathlon, flatwater kayaking

- 6 - Abstract Title: Comparison of performance tests results determined during kayak spiroergometry with achieved kayak paddling performance. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine relationships between functional parameters values found during kayak spiroergometry and sport performance at 1000 meters distance, and how are these relationships going to change based on training period. Methods: To determine statistical dependence between sport performance at 1000 meters distance and choosen factors of sport performance, the correlation research was used - as a variable-dependent value the final result of sport performance at 1000 meters distance was used, as a variable-independent amounts functional parameters values found during kayak spiroergometry were used. To discover the statistical dependence methods of Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used. Results: General level of kayak-athletes from testing file indicated by functional parameters values and demonstrated by kayak spiroergometry performance depends on kayak- athlete's level of sport performance at 1000 meters distance in prepared-training period only, when importance for general condition is emphasized. We did not discover the same phenomenon based on pre-racing period testing results. Sport performance at...
