Purpose Aim of this study was to evaluate the athletes’ heart rate (HR) profile in competitive kitesurf freestyle. Methods Two top level athletes were involved in the study, during the Italian National Championship 2010. HR profiles and synchronized video data were collected (24 complete heats, 66.7% of the whole National Championship; 144 minutes and 148 maneuvers analyzed). Results High values of mean HR (94.0 of HRmax) were observed during the competitions and peaks closed to HRmax (95.1-90.2% of HRmax) just after each jump. Aerial maneuvers, divided according to the difficulty, did not point out significant HR differences after the jumps. Conclusions The repetition of high intensity efforts, spaced by active pauses with a moderate to high intensity level, characterizes freestyle kitesurfing. The difficulty of aerial maneuvers increases throughout the course of the competition, but it is not related with the HR profiles.

Abstract

Purpose Aim of this study was to evaluate the athletes’ heart rate (HR) profile in competitive kitesurf freestyle. Methods Two top level athletes were involved in the study, during the Italian National Championship 2010. HR profiles and synchronized video data were collected (24 complete heats, 66.7% of the whole National Championship; 144 minutes and 148 maneuvers analyzed). Results High values of mean HR (94.0 of HRmax) were observed during the competitions and peaks closed to HRmax (95.1-90.2% of HRmax) just after each jump. Aerial maneuvers, divided according to the difficulty, did not point out significant HR differences after the jumps. Conclusions The repetition of high intensity efforts, spaced by active pauses with a moderate to high intensity level, characterizes freestyle kitesurfing. The difficulty of aerial maneuvers increases throughout the course of the competition, but it is not related with the HR profiles.
