Resumen

El tug of war (TOW) es un deporte con una alta exigencia física y técnica. Se han realizado muy pocas investigaciones sobre la biomecánica del TOW y todas ellas en la modalidad indoor. El objetivo principal de este estudio es describir y diferenciar la cinemática del TOW indoor y outdoor. Se registró a un tirador experimentado en dos campeonatos mundiales de las dos modalidades en años consecutivos. Aunque la posición de las manos en la cuerda, los brazos y la inclinación del cuerpo son similares, se registraron diferencias importantes tanto en la parte inferior del cuerpo como en la posición del cuerpo, con los hombros y la cadera adelantados en el caso de la modalidad indoor y con la cadera y el hombro izquierdo adelantados en la modalidad outdoor. Esta investigación evidencia las diferentes técnicas utilizadas en las dos modalidades de TOW y su posible relación tanto con el riesgo de lesión de algunas partes del cuerpo, como con una mayor exigencia de estas partes.
