| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to characterize dryland performance of trained adolescent alpine skiers from the end of season to pre-season, and to assess the longitudinal changes in dryland jump performance over a 26-month period. Skiers between the ages of 15 and 18 volunteered for this study (n = 8; 16.5 ± 1.1 years; 73.3 ± 10.2 kilograms; 175.9 ± 7.2 cm; VO2max 55.5 ± 7.2 ml/kg/min). Clockwise (p = 0.008) and counterclockwise jump performance (p = 0.001) improved from April to September. Peak power and mean power improved from April to September (p < 0.01). Hexagon jump performance improved over 26 months in the clockwise (p < 0.05) and counterclockwise directions (p < 0.01). These results demonstrate the changes in aerobic and anaerobic performance in youth alpine skiers during different seasons and over a 26-month period. | |
