Low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with a cooling vest improves recovery of elite kayakers following a simulated 1000-m race in a hot environment

This study compared the effects of a low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES; Veinoplus® Sport, Ad Rem Technology, Paris, France), a low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with a cooling vest (LFESCR) and an active recovery combined with a cooling vest (ACTCR) as recovery strategies on performance (racing time and pacing strategies), physiologic and perceptual responses between two sprint kayak simulated races, in a hot environment (∼32 wet-bulb-globe temperature). Eight elite male kayakers performed two successive 1000-m kayak time trials (TT1 and TT2), separated by a short-term recovery period, including a 30-min of the respective recovery intervention protocol, in a randomized crossover design. Racing time, power output, and stroke rate were recorded for each time trial. Blood lactate concentration, pH, core, skin and body temperatures were measured before and after both TT1 and TT2 and at mid- and post-recovery intervention. Perceptual ratings of thermal sensation were also collected. LFESCR was associated with a very likely effect in performance restoration compared with ACTCR (99/0/1%) and LFES conditions (98/0/2%). LFESCR induced a significant decrease in body temperature and thermal sensation at post-recovery intervention, which is not observed in ACTCR condition. In conclusion, the combination of LFES and wearing a cooling vest (LFESCR) improves performance restoration between two 1000-m kayak time trials achieved by elite athletes, in the heat.

Piraguak garraiatzeko sistemaren diseinua.

[EU]Ur bizietako piraguak edonolako ingurune basatietan garraiatzeko sistema baten diseinua garatuko du txosten honek. Horretarako dagoeneko existitzen diren modeloei erreparatuko zaie. Sistemak bete behar dituen ezaugarriak erabaki ondoren, diseinuari ekingo zaio. Hasierako ideietatik abiatuz amaierako diseinura iritsi arte fintze etapa ezberdinak burutuko dira. Haietariko azkenean, sortutako prototipoa aztertuko da azken hobekuntza batzuen beharra ebaluatzeko. Guzti hau, sistemak huts egingo ez duela bermatzen duten kalkuluetan oinarrituz egingo da. Azken diseinua sortzeko beharrezko neurriak zehaztuko dira.

Análise da cinética de remoção de lactato em atletas de canoagem slalom

The aim of this study was to verify the kinetics of lactate production and removal in slalom kayak athletes, K1 category, during official competition. Eight male athletes (22,6 ± 4,3 years) participated of the study. For the analysis of lactate, 25µL of capillary blood were collected. The kinetics of lactate removal was performed before the warm-up (Pre), just after the competitors exit from the river (Post 0'), 5 (Post 5'), and 20 (Post 20') minutes. The results demonstrated a significant increase in lactate concentrations (9.8 mmol/l, 9.4 mmol/l and 6.6 mmol/l) at 0', 5' and 20' post respectively, with values of P<0.01. The findings indicate that after 20 minutes the values of lactate reduced significantly (P<0.05) compared to Pre exercise, suggesting that the athletes would indicate good metabolic conditions for the second turn of the race.

Anthropometric, physiological, performance, and nutritional profile of the Brazil National Canoe Polo Team

The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological, anthropometric, performance, and nutritional characteristics of the Brazil Canoe Polo National Team. Ten male canoe polo athletes (age 26.7 +/- 4.1 years) performed a battery of tests including assessments of anthropometric parameters, upper-body anaerobic power (Wingate), muscular strength, aerobic power, and nutritional profile. In addition, we characterized heart rate and plasma lactate responses and the temporal pattern of the effort/recovery during a simulated canoe polo match. The main results are as follows: body fat, 12.3 +/- 4.0%; upper-body peak and mean power, 6.8 +/- 0.5 and 4.7 +/- 0.4 W . kg(-1), respectively; 1-RM bench press, 99.1 +/- 11.7 kg; peak oxygen uptake, 44.3 +/- 5.8 mL . kg(-1) . min(-1); total energy intake, 42.8 +/- 8.6 kcal . kg(-1); protein, carbohydrate, and fat intakes, 1.9 +/- 0.1, 5.0 +/- 1.5, and 1.7 +/- 0.4 g . kg(-1), respectively; mean heart rate, 146 +/- 11 beats . min(-1); plasma lactate, 5.7 +/- 3.8 mmol . L-1 at half-time and 4.6 +/- 2.2 mmol . L-1 at the end of the match; effort time (relative to total match time), 93.1 +/- 3.0%; number of sprints, 9.6 +/- 4.4. The results of this study will assist coaches, trainers, and nutritionists in developing more adequate training programmes and dietary interventions for canoe polo athletes.

Canotaje en la escuela secundaria, una planificación anual desarrollada en Berisso

El objetivo de ésta ponencia es el de compartir con otros colegas una propuesta pedagógica de la Escuela Secundaria N°1 de Berisso, que intenta abordar la totalidad de los contenidos de Educación Física de 6° año del Diseño Curricular para la Educación Secundaria de la provincia de Buenos Aires, a través de una práctica corporal poco habitual en las escuelas como lo es el canotaje. Para comenzar haremos un pantallazo general sobre el canotaje, sus diferentes modalidades y el enfoque que se la dará como práctica corporal escolar; luego nos introduciremos específicamente en el proyecto anual, donde analizaremos el contexto donde se desarrolla, sus componentes, las unidades didácticas, proyectos, y por último los próximos desafíos que nos proponemos enfrentar en los años siguientes. En el desarrollo de las unidades didácticas y proyectos se desarrollarán los objetivos, contenidos, actividades, estrategias de enseñanza y evaluación de la unidad y el proyecto
