Although performing aerial maneuvers can increase wave score and winning potential in competitive surfing, the critical features underlying successful aerial performance have not been systematically investigated. This study aimed to analyze highly skilled aerial maneuver performance and to identify the critical features associated with successful or unsuccessful landing. Using video recordings of the World Surf League's Championship Tour, every aerial performed during the quarterfinal, semifinal, and final heats from the 11 events in the 2015 season was viewed. From this, 121 aerials were identified with the Frontside Air (n = 15) and Frontside Air Reverse (n = 67) being selected to be qualitatively assessed. Using chi-squared analyses, a series of key critical features, including landing over the center of the surfboard (FS Air χ = 14.00, FS Air Reverse χ = 26.61; P < .001) and landing with the lead ankle in dorsiflexion (FS Air χ = 3.90, FS Air Reverse χ = 13.64; P < .05), were found to be associated with successful landings. These critical features help surfers land in a stable position, while maintaining contact with the surfboard. The results of this study provide coaches with evidence to adjust the technique of their athletes to improve their winning potential.
虽然进行空中动作可以增加冲浪的分数和获胜潜力，但成功完成空中动作的关键特征尚未被系统地研究。本研究旨在分析高技能的空中动作表现，并确定与成功或失败着陆相关的关键特征。使用世界冲浪联盟冠军巡回赛的视频记录，对 2015 赛季 11 项赛事的四分之一决赛、半决赛和决赛中每个空中动作进行了查看。从这些动作中，确定了 121 个前空翻（n=15）和前空翻反转（n=67），并对其进行定性评估。通过卡方分析，发现了一系列关键的关键特征，包括着陆在冲浪板的中心（前空翻 χ=14.00，前空翻反转 χ=26.61；P<.001）和以背屈的方式用前脚掌着陆（前空翻 χ=3.90，前空翻反转 χ=13.64；P<.05），这些特征与成功着陆有关。这些关键特征有助于冲浪者以稳定的姿势着陆，同时保持与冲浪板的接触。本研究的结果为教练提供了证据，以调整运动员的技术，提高他们的获胜潜力。
