研究概览
简要总结
This cross-sectional observational study aims to establish reference values for joint mobility and isometric muscle strength in elite artistic swimmers across different competitive categories. The study will analyze inter-limb asymmetries and agonist-antagonist strength ratios in upper and lower limbs. Additionally, relationships between isometric strength, countermovement jump performance, and handgrip strength will be explored to assess their utility as functional performance indicators. Participants will be assessed during national team training camps using standardized, validated measurement protocols. The findings are expected to contribute to the identification of sport-specific functional profiles and potential injury risk factors in artistic swimming.

研究组 & 干预措施
Infant Artistic Swimmers
Elite artistic swimmers aged 14-16 years selected to the Spanish National Artistic Swimming Team. Participants undergo a single-session standardized assessment including anthropometric measurements, joint mobility (shoulder and hip goniometry), isometric muscle strength testing (upper and lower limbs), countermovement jump performance, and handgrip strength during national team training camps.
干预措施: Standardized Functional Performance Assessment (Other)
Junior Artistic Swimmers
Elite artistic swimmers aged 16-18 years selected to the Spanish National Artistic Swimming Team. Participants complete the same standardized evaluation protocol assessing anthropometrics, joint mobility, isometric muscle strength, countermovement jump performance, and handgrip strength in a single assessment session.
干预措施: Standardized Functional Performance Assessment (Other)
Senior Artistic Swimmers
Elite artistic swimmers aged 18 years and older selected to the Spanish National Artistic Swimming Team. Participants undergo a standardized cross-sectional functional assessment including anthropometric data, joint mobility, isometric muscle strength, countermovement jump performance, and handgrip strength.
干预措施: Standardized Functional Performance Assessment (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Isometric Muscle Strength (Peak Force) of Upper and Lower Limbs
时间窗: Day 1
Peak isometric force obtained during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (3-second efforts, best of three trials) for key muscle groups involved in artistic swimming, assessed bilaterally (dominant and non-dominant limbs). Upper-limb tests include shoulder internal/external rotation, ASH and iASH positions, and elbow flexion/extension. Lower-limb tests include hip flexion/extension/abduction/adduction and knee extension/flexion. Values will be recorded as absolute force and normalized to body mass when applicable.
次要结局
- Lower-Limb Explosive Power (Countermovement Jump)(Day 1)
- Shoulder Joint Mobility(Day 1)
- Hip Joint Mobility(Day 1)
- Inter-limb Strength Asymmetries(Day 1)
- Agonist-Antagonist Strength Ratios(Day 1)
- Handgrip Strength(Day 1)
- Associations Between Isometric Strength and Functional Performance Measures(Day 1)
