The intricate nature of an athlete's abilities evolves dynamically with the enhancement of motor skills. Hence the study sought to investigate the impact of a tailored four-week exercise program`encompassing exercises focused on balance, agility, and speed. The primary objective was to determine how this exercise program influences both the roller skating talent and overall physical fitness proficiency in young male roller skaters.
Thirty male participants (age 11-14 years) enrolled in the school skating team were recruited. The participants were randomized into either an experimental group [n = 15], performing a short-term exercise program, or a control group [n = 15], involved in the physical education classes for eight sessions over four weeks. The primary outcome measure, the skating performance, was measured by the linear speed test (LST). The secondary outcomes, i.e., balance, agility, and speed, were evaluated using the star excursion balance test (SEBT), agility t-test (ATT), and arrowhead change of direction speed test (ACDT). SEBT was assessed in 8 directions. The study was registered with the Clinical Trials Registry India (TRN: CTRI/2018/09/015713) before the recruitment of the participants on 14/09/2018.
The results showed that LST, ATT, and ACDT improved significantly (p < 0.05) in both groups, however, greater (p < 0.05) improvement was observed in the experimental group (Cohen's d 0.8 to 1.3). Regarding SEBT, improvement was observed in a few directions only in both groups. However, no significant difference was observed between both groups in SEBT measurements.
A short-term structured exercise program consisting of balance, agility, and speed exercises significantly improved the talent of skating, agility, and speed compared to physical education classes activities in young male roller skaters. The study highlights the potential of targeted training interventions to enhance athletic performance in this population.
运动员能力的复杂性会随着运动技能的提高而动态演变。因此，本研究旨在调查一项为期四周的量身定制的锻炼计划的影响，该计划包括侧重于平衡、敏捷性和速度的练习。主要目的是确定该锻炼计划如何影响年轻男性轮滑运动员的轮滑天赋和整体身体素质水平。
招募了30名参加学校轮滑队的男性参与者（年龄11 - 14岁）。参与者被随机分为实验组（n = 15），进行短期锻炼计划，或对照组（n = 15），在四周内参加八节体育课。主要结局指标，即轮滑表现，通过线性速度测试（LST）进行测量。次要结局指标，即平衡、敏捷性和速度，使用星形偏移平衡测试（SEBT）、敏捷性t测试（ATT）和箭头转向速度测试（ACDT）进行评估。SEBT在8个方向上进行评估。该研究在2018年9月14日招募参与者之前已在印度临床试验注册中心注册（注册号：CTRI/2018/09/015713）。
结果显示，两组的LST、ATT和ACDT均有显著改善（p < 0.05），然而，实验组的改善程度更大（p < 0.05）（科恩d值为0.8至1.3）。关于SEBT，两组仅在几个方向上观察到改善。然而，两组在SEBT测量中未观察到显著差异。
与年轻男性轮滑运动员的体育课活动相比，由平衡、敏捷性和速度练习组成的短期结构化锻炼计划显著提高了轮滑天赋、敏捷性和速度。该研究强调了有针对性的训练干预对提高该人群运动表现的潜力。
