Resumen

Los objetivos de este estudio piloto son por un lado, determinar las características aeróbicas de surfistas junior que compiten en la rama Europea de la Asociación de Surfistas Profesionales (ASP) y por otro, analizar la relación de estas características con la posición en el ranking. Diez surfistas tomaron parte en el estudio. Se realizó un test máximo incremental en un ergómetro. Se determinaron el consumo máximo de oxígeno (VO2MAX), la potencia máxima (WMAX), la frecuencia cardiaca máxima (HRMAX), la máxima producción de lactato en sangre ([La]MAX) y la potencia en el umbral de lactato (WLT) y en el inicio de la acumulación de lactato en sangre (WOBLA). No se observó una relación significativa entre la posición en el ranking y los parámetros a intensidad máxima (VO2MAX, WMAX, HRMAX y [La]MAX). La WLT (W · kg-1) y la WOBLA (W · kg-1) mostraron una relación significativa con la posición en el ranking (r= -0.69, p= 0.02; r= -0.72, p= 0.01, respectivamente).
