Caracterización de la Composición Corporal y Condición Física de Atletas Estéticos de Alto Rendimiento de Pole Sport

Abstract

This study focused on evaluating the physical capacity of pole sport athletes, both men and women, comparing their results with those of other athletes. and women, comparing their results with those of other athletes. The men were compared with gymnastics, taekwondo, calisthenics, and volleyball athletes, while the women were compared with pole dancers and women who were compared with pole dancers and women who strength train in the gym. The objective was to analyze the physiological demands of pole sport, assessing aspects such as aerobic endurance, strength, endurance, and strength training. aerobic endurance, grip strength and body composition. Various physical tests were performed to measure these capacities: the sit and reach test to assess flexibility, the Harvard test to flexibility, the Harvard test to measure aerobic endurance, manual dynamometry for grip strength and body composition. manual dynamometry for grip strength, and the use of bioimpedance to analyze body composition variables, including muscle mass and body composition. body composition variables, including muscle mass and adipose tissue. The results showed that pole sport athletes, both male and female, have good overall physical capacity, although areas for improvement were identified, especially in aerobic endurance and grip strength. grip strength. The comparative analysis underlines the importance of a comprehensive approach to training, that not only focuses on developing muscular strength and flexibility, but also on improving aerobic endurance and optimizing body control. on improving aerobic endurance and optimizing body control. It is recommended that aerobic and pressing strength exercises be incorporated into training routines, as well as continuing to assess athletes' body composition to adjust training and nutrition programs according to the specific demands of the athlete and nutrition programs according to the specific demands of pole sport.
