Abstract
Introduction. Previous surveys show that a good physical preparation is the right way to improve skating technique. However, such studies are rare around the world, and, in Lithuania, there is no one who analyses the physical characteristics among skaters, importance for improving skating strength in addition to reduce risk of injuries (1). The purpose of this study was to investigate physical characteristics among pre-elite skaters and the relationship of off-ice strength. According to Dong-chul Moon (2), flat feet have a big impact on vertical jump height and balance. Also, a research published in International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences (3) showed that flat feet significantly correlate with balance. Research aim. To evaluate physical characteristics and coherence between physical characteristics and flat feet among ice skaters. Research methods and organization. 23 participants were invited to this study without distinguishing skating specialisation. The age ranged from 7-10 years (mean 7.86 ± 0.834 years). All children (10 boys and 13 girls) who participated in this study have been attending skating lessons for at least one year. First, participants had their feet scanned with RS (pedobarography) scan to detect for any feet deformities (4). Pedobarography is used to exam not only function of the foot or ankle, but also the posture or the gait. Each subject had to complete six different tests in a randomised order during their rest day from skating lessons. All participants performed in vertical jump test using “Just jump” platform, hand held computer displays height and hang time for one jump, ground contact time for one jump (5). Modified balance “Y” test was used to measure dynamic balance performance, motor skills and body symmetry. “Flamingo“ balance test was used to measure static balance. 10 meters running and “Compass“ drill (the cones are laid out with four-marker cones p[...].
