Summary

Short-stage and long-stage slide board protocols effectively measure physiological responses in speed skaters. Both protocols are suitable for assessing maximal aerobic capacity and performance metrics, offering a practical alternative to lab-based testing.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Slide board testing simulates speed skating motion.
  • Evaluating physiological responses during simulated skating is crucial for training optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effects of short-stage (1-minute) versus long-stage (3-minute) incremental testing protocols on physiological variables in speed skaters.
  • To determine the validity of slide board testing for assessing maximal and submaximal aerobic capacity.

Main Methods:

  • Ten male speed skaters completed two maximal incremental slide board tests until exhaustion.
  • The second ventilatory threshold (VT2) was identified using the ventilatory equivalent method.
  • Maximal oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max) and other physiological variables were recorded.

Main Results:

  • Short-stage protocol resulted in significantly higher maximal cadence (CADmax), V[Combining Dot Above]O2 at VT2, and cadence at VT2 (CADVT2).
  • Maximal heart rate was significantly lower during the short-stage protocol.
  • Strong correlations were observed between CADmax and CADVT2 in both protocols, and between V[Combining Dot Above]O2max and CADmax.

Conclusions:

  • Both short-stage and long-stage slide board incremental protocols elicit maximal physiological responses and can be used to evaluate speed skaters.
  • Slide board incremental tests provide a practical and specific alternative to laboratory-based assessments for evaluating athletes, particularly for large groups.
