Sex differences in competitive surfers` generic and specific strength capacity
(Geschlechtsunterschiede in der allgemeinen und spezifischen Kraftfähigkeit bei Leistungssportlern im Surfen)
To compare the pop-up and counter movement jump (CMJ) and to analyse the relationships among the variables between sexes and different ages [under (U16), over (O16) 16 years] in male and female competitive surfers. Eighty-three surfers were divided according to sex, male (n = 55) and female (n = 28), and to age, U16 (n = 47) and O16 (n = 36). Vertical jump and pop-up movements were measured through the vertical ground reaction force with a force plate. CMJ demonstrated that the O16 male group exhibited significantly greater force compared to females in the concentric phase of the jump (CMJFMAX) (p < 0.01, ES = 1.82, large). Female U16 and O16 groups presented increased unloading rates in the eccentric phase compared to male surfers (CMJULR) (p < 0.05, ES = 0.73, moderate and p < 0.05, ES = 0.12, trivial, respectively). O16 males obtained significantly greater values than O16 females in the push-up phase (POPPUSH) (p < 0.05, ES = 0.76, moderate). Moderate correlations were found between lower-body power capacity and the popup (r = 0.32; ± 0.16 CL, p < 0.01, 98.1/1.9/0, very likely, moderate). General and skill-specific strengths are different in competitive male and female surfers, dependent upon their age range. The moderate association between CMJ and pop-up suggests that the pop-up might be influenced by other factors such as coordination or upper-body strength. Therefore, competitive surfers should also train the upper body strength and overall coordination in order to improve the performance of the pop-up movement.
