BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF SPINE MOVEMENTS IN HIKING ON SAILING: A PRELIMINARY STUDY (2007)

BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF SPINE MOVEMENTS IN HIKING ON SAILING: A PRELIMINARY STUDY (2007)

Fábio Sprada de Menezes, Gustavo Ricardo Schütz, Paulo Roberto Cerutti, Letícia Calado Carneiro, Heiliane Brito Fontana, Helio Roesler

Aquatic Biomechanics Research Laboratory, Santa Catarina State University, Florianópolis, Brazil

Abstract:

This study aimed to evaluate sailors' vertebral spine movements and positioning during hiking position. One Laser Class sailor composed the sample. Four 60Hz Peak Motus System® cameras were used. To evaluate some spine angles the following points were chosen: in saggital plane - the neck flexion angle, thoracic kiphosis angle and lumbar lordosis angle; in frontal plane - the lateral inclination angle; in transversal plane - the trunk rotation. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics. The analysis shows great angle variations performed in a 10s hiking execution. It can be observed that the sailor's trunk performs, in the three axes, a sum of movements during the technical gesture. It was demonstrated that hiking is not a static posture and to study this position researchers should not consider trunk as a fixed segment.

Clone of BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF SPINE MOVEMENTS IN HIKING ON SAILING: A PRELIMINARY STUDY (2007)

Three experienced sailors performed two fundamental body manoeuvres to minimize capsizing during sail boating. Cardio-pulmonary and metabolic responses for each position have been evaluated as well as muscular moments at relevant joints. The strenuous nature of extending the body outboard, without trapeze, requires considerable thigh and abdominal muscle force and endurance. (Sports med. 20, 325-332, 1980.).

Sustained hiking position in dinghy sailing. Theoretical aspects and methodological considerations for muscle fatigue assessment.

O. Maïsetti a,b,*, A. Guével c, P. Iachkine d, P. Legros e, J. Briswalter f

Résumé:

Objectifs - Faire le point sur les connaissances concernant les sollicitations physiologiques induites par la pratique du dériveur de compétition et notamment lors de l'utilisation de la position de rappel, facteur déterminant de la performance dans les gammes de vent médium à fort. Des propositions d'ordre méthodologique sont avancées pour l'évaluation de la fatigue musculaire associée au maintien de cette posture.

Actualités - Le rappel participe au maintien d'une vitesse d'avancement optimale de l'embarcation. Il consiste à opposer à la force du vent sur le plan de voilure, un couple de force créé par le poids et la taille du régatier. Ce geste sollicite les extenseurs du genou et fléchisseurs de la hanche selon un mode de contraction à dominante isométrique. Les spécialistes de l'activité considèrent que la capacité à maintenir cette position limiterait la performance en dériveur. Les niveaux modérés de consommation d'oxygène semblent conforter l'existence d'un facteur limitant d'origine musculaire.

Perspectives et projets - La mise en œuvre d'une méthodologie d'évaluation des sollicitations musculaires et de la fatigue associée au maintien de la position de rappel doit être envisagée afin de permettre le suivi des capacités musculaires relatives à ce geste technique. © 2002 Editions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.

Abstract

Objectives - Provide information on physiological demands related to dinghy sailing with special regards to hiking, which is considered as a performance factor in medium and strong winds. An additional purpose is to give methodological considerations for localized muscle fatigue assessment related to muscles involved in hiking movement.

Topics - Hiking contributes to maintain the boat speed during the race. It uses the force moment of the sailor's weight and height to balance the heeling moment of wind forces on the sail. This posture engages knee extensors and hip flexors muscles which produce essentially-isometric contractions.

The ability to hike over extended periods of time is considered as an important component of sailing performance. Indeed, since the oxygen cost of sailing is relatively light, muscular factors and fatigue-induced may be one of the main determinants of competitive dinghy sailing performance.

Future prospects - Specific method for the assessment of localized muscle fatigue during hiking movement remain to be determined for the follow-up of muscles' capabilities involved in this sailing technique.

QUALITY OF DINGHY HIKING: EFFECTS ON SPEED AND HEADING

QUALITY OF DINGHY HIKING: EFFECTS ON SPEED AND HEADING

R.N. Marshall Eastern Institute of Technology, Taradale, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

Dinghy hiking uses the sailor's bodyweight to produce a 'righting moment' which counteracts the moment of force caused by the wind on the sail. However, hiking is a physically demanding activity and maintaining quality hiking technique throughout a race is essential in competitive sailing. A land-based hiking simulator has been used to assess hiking technique, but no data were available to relate simulator results to on-water performance. This project evaluated the effect of decreased quality hiking positions on actual on-water dinghy speed and heading.

CORRELATION BETWEEN HEART RATE AND PERFORMANCE DURING OLYMPIC WINDSURFING COMPETITION. (2003)

CORRELATION BETWEEN HEART RATE AND PERFORMANCE DURING OLYMPIC WINDSURFING COMPETITION. (2003)

National Centre of Sports Medicine, El Menzah, Tunisia.

Eur J Appl Physiol. 2003 May;89(3-4):387-92. Epub 2003 Apr 1.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the heart rate (HR) response to Olympic windsurfing competition and to check if there was any correlation between racing HR, performance, and the variables measured during laboratory maximal exercise.

Ten elite windsurfers [age: 20.93 (3.46) years; height: 178.10 (6.34) cm; body mass: 66.79 (5.90) kg] performed a laboratory maximal oxygen consumption (.VO(2max)) trial and national windsurf competitions wearing a HR monitor.

One hundred and forty-three individual races were examined. Racing HR was expressed as a percentage of (1) HR(max) (maximal treadmill HR) and (2) HR(reserve) (HR(max)-HR(rest)). The performance (racing classification: RC, which is inversely proportional to performance) was significantly correlated to the racing HR response in both light wind (LW): LW-RC=-0.12(%HR(reserve))+13.03; r=-0.71, r(2)=0.50, p<0.001, and medium wind (MW): MW-RC=-0.11(%HR(reserve))+10.99; r=-0.66, r(2)=0.43, p<0.001.

The results showed similar correlations between performance and %HR(max). Post racing lactate concentration was higher in LW compared to MW [7.14 (0.21) and 5.18 (2.02) mmol.l(-1), respectively]. There was a negative correlation between the highest racing HR (%HR(reserve)) of each athlete and the second ventilatory threshold expressed as a percentage of.VO(2max) (r=-0.71, p<0.05).

To summarize, this study showed that light and medium wind Olympic windsurfing performances are highly dependent on the capacity of the athlete to maintain a high HR for long periods of time. Furthermore, windsurfing is highly dependent on the athlete's physical fitness level as shown by the correlations between racing HRs and laboratory physiological variables.

IMNSSA, BP 610, 83800, Toulon Armées, France. olivier.castagna@wanadoo.fr

Abstract

In this study we analyzed the influence of both exercise duration and skill level on energy demand in Laser sailing. Twenty-three subjects volunteered for this study. The population is divided into two groups according to their skill level: 13 high (HS) and 10 low (LS). Every subject performed a 30 min upwind sailing test, with a tacking every 2 min. Heart rate (HR), gas exchange and respiratory parameters were analyzed throughout the trial, and measured blood lactate concentration ([La(bl)] at rest and immediately after the exercise completion. Three, 4 min intervals were selected for analysis: 6-10 min (T10), 16-20 min (T20) and 26-30 min (T30). In contrast to previous studies, we found significantly progressive aerobic energy metabolism with sailing duration in the HS group (T10 = 45%; T20 = 61%; T30 = 68% VO2max, P < 0.05), whereas this demand remained stable, and significantly lower in LS group (T10 = 45%; T20 = 52%; T30 = 51% VO2max, P < 0.05). This study shows that aerobic demand is significantly more important in LS than in HS subjects after 30 min regatta, and could be an important factor in Laser regatta performance. We need further studies to confirm and explain this difference.

FITNESS MEANS FLEXIBILITY (2011)

FITNESS MEANS FLEXIBILITY (2011)

Your body is an extension of your boat, so maintain it just as you would your hardware and sails. "Technique" from our Sailing World March 2011 issue.

By Dr. Robert S. Bray Jr.

For many, sailing conjures up images of a relaxed sunny afternoon sipping a cocktail while bobbing about on a comfy boat. Racers know a much different picture. High-performance sailing takes place in one of the most physically demanding and challenging environments of any sport. The weather can be punishing, and the challenge is often compounded by fatigue, dehydration, and caloric deprivation on top of muscle exhaustion. Injuries are going to happen, but many are avoidable.

The rougher the seas and the lighter the boat, the more unstable the platform on which a sailor must work. The human body responds to this with a complex set of coordinated responses between the vestibular labyrinth of the inner ear and the core trunk muscles. Proper balance on the boat requires both flexibility and a strong muscle core.
Flexibility does not come easy with age. Too many times I have heard, "Now that I can afford the boat, I'm too stiff to sail it."

BODY MASS CHANGES AND NUTRIENT INTAKE OF OPTIMIST CLASS

Journal of Sports Sciences, Volume 25Issue 10, 2007, Special Issue: Sailing Physiology

Benedict Tana* & Fahma Sunarjab

Abstract (volledig artikel niet gratis)

Young sailors tend to compete under a similar racing format to that of adults, spending extended hours exposed to the elements. This descriptive study measured the body mass changes in 65 male Optimist dinghy sailors (mean age 11.6 years, s = 1.4; body mass 37.2 kg, s = 8.2) and describes their fluid and carbohydrate intake during a typical race day.

The sailors were weighed before launching and upon return to shore, and were interviewed to assess their fluid and carbohydrate intakes. After spending 6 h afloat, the participants displayed a mean weight loss of 0.5 kg (s = 0.6), indicating dehydration of 1.3% (s = 1.2, range -0.9 to 6.2%) assuming euhydration before they went afloat. Water loss amounted to 1.3 litres (s = 0.8) or 0.2 litres · h-1 (s = 0.1). Thirty-nine boys (60%) incurred <1% dehydration, 13 (20%) incurred 1 - 2% dehydration, and 13 (20%) incurred >2% dehydration.

While afloat, the participants drank 816 ml (s = 621) of fluid, replacing only 61% of their water loss: 3% drank nothing, 78% drank plain water, and 15% drank sports drinks.

Pre-race carbohydrate consumption was 1.7 g · kg-1 (s = 1.4, range 0.0 - 7.6 g · kg-1), with consumption when afloat of 7.1 g · h-1 (s = 6.9). In view of the hypohydration demonstrated, it is recommended that specific strategies be developed to improve the dietary practices of young sailors.

ENDING THE MYTHS ABOUT LACTIC ACID (2012)

ENDING THE MYTHS ABOUT LACTIC ACID (2012)

Australian Sailing & Yachting - October 2012

Let's face it lactic acid has a bad rap! Amongst the many accepted (negative) beliefs relating to it are these:

  • Causes pain during exercise.

  • Limits your performance causing you to stop or slow down or have a break.

  • It is a "waste" product and serves no purpose.
 It gives you sore muscles the next day after exercising.

  • Makes you feel like throwing up or actually doing it.



For a long time (since the 1920's in fact) lactic acid was widely believed to be responsible for having these effects. The accepted theory in sports and exercise science was it was a waste product produced by the muscles due to hard exercise. This acid caused the muscles to stop working effectively and had numerous negative side effects, some described above.

Research in the last 10-15 years has slowly been busting many of these myths and changing long-held misconceptions about what it actually is, its role and its impacts.

Let's look at the main four myths out there:

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the rate and types of injuries experienced by board sailors. Results derive from: (a) a review of hospital medical records for water sports injuries, and (b) a questionnaire-interview of 73 athletes windsurfing on waters in the Galveston area during a hurricane and in moderate and light wind conditions. Windsurfers reported 0.22 injuries per 1,000 participant hours. Seventy-six per cent of athletes reported injuries while boardsailing, but only 15 per cent reported significant injuries. The most common reported injuries included lacerations, jellyfish stings, abrasions, muscle strain, sunburn, contusions, and blisters. A small number of athletes reported ligament sprain, ear infection, knee injury, eye injury, and splinters. The large majority of injuries reported are preventable by wearing protective gear, applying sunscreen, avoiding overpowering winds, and selecting safe sailing areas. Four per cent of water-sport injuries requiring hospitalization resulted when epileptic water-sports participants had a seizure in or near the water.

MEDISCHE ASPECTEN VAN HET CATAMARANZEILEN OP HOOG NIVEAU

MEDISCHE ASPECTEN VAN HET CATAMARANZEILEN OP HOOG NIVEAU

Zeilers worden voortdurend blootgesteld aanwind en (koud, zout) water en dragen om zich te beschermen, wetsuits, droogpakken, schoentjes (boots), handschoenen en mutsen. In die pakken wordt wat afgezweet (dehydratatie), de irritatie (rash), aan nek en polsen is niet denkbeeldig. De ‘botjes' zijn niet bepaald ademend en de voeten zijn constant vochtig.
Een zeilwedstrijd duurt makkelijk 5 à 6 uur, op het water.

Reken daarbij dat zeilen een life-time sport is, dat zeilers dikwijls ook andere watersporten ‘plegen' die ook een dry of wetsuit vereisen (kite, windsurf, golfsurfen, triatlon, open water zwemmen...). Een goede, liefst preventieve, huidverzorging is duidelijk essentieel.

Op internet zijn er artikels te vinden over zeil-kwetsuren. Specifiek over catamaran gaan ze niet, maar ze geven wel een indicatie van de mogelijke aard van de kwetsuren, hoe ze eventueel te vermijden.

SKIN CANCER - THE REALITY OF BEING A FAIR-SKINNED SAILOR (2009) 
Dr. Steve Horwitz

'One of the first skin cancer screenings that I did at a regatta was during the 2001/02 Miami stopover for the Volvo Ocean Race,' said Dr. Steve Horwitz.

Steve is sailing's skin doctor. He has been practicing dermatology in Miami for over three decades and has been sailing on Biscayne Bay for longer.

'What surprised me was that only one of the crop of Volvo sailors that I screened had a precancerous growth on his lip,' reflected Dr. Horwitz. 'As it turns out, most of them were Australian or Kiwis. There is such a high incidence of skin cancer down under that there is a huge amount of public information and awareness. Everyone wears rashers, protective clothing and sunscreen.'

(...) The basics - There is a direct correlation between the incidence of sunburn during childhood and the development of melanoma. (A reminder, cataracts are also the result of sunlight exposure). A majority of one's total lifetime exposure to the sun comes during the first 18 years of life. All of you, who are in my age group and have kids in junior programs, take note for your kids and for yourselves. (...)

STUDY IDENTIFIES SAILING INJURIES (2011).

With the America's Cup destination decided, a study identifying sailing injuries is timely;
Just as the site for the 2013 America's Cup has been announced, a study from Rhode Island Hospital highlights that the sport isn't always smooth sailing. The study was published recently in the journal Wilderness and Environmental Medicine.

(...)Also of concern in the results of the survey is that 16 percent of the sailors reported having suffered sunburn while sailing in the year prior. Nathanson says, "Sunscreen utilization was low, particularly in sailors less than 30 years old. Focused educational interventions should be developed aimed at sailors, particularly those in the younger age group, in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Participants in water sports have been shown to be at increased risk of skin cancer because of their prolonged exposure to solar radiation."(...)

Abstract
The first step to reduce the incidence of injuries in athletes is to assess the characteristics of occurrence, providing background for the structure and application of prevention programs. This study had the aim to investigate the incidence of injuries in sailing athletes of different technical levels. 
The sample was composed of 172 sailors, divided in three groups: 89 beginners, participants in the Optimist qualifying of the World Championship (group 1); 29 juvenile sailors, participants in the Youth Sailing Cup (group 2) and 54 national elite sailors, participants in the Pre-Olympic Sailing Week (group 3). The data collection instrument was a mixed questionnaire and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Five athletes from group 1 (5.6%); five athletes from group 2 (17.2%) and 15 athletes from group 3 (27.8%) reported some kind of injury related with the modality. 
Higher incidence of injury was observed in the back and knee and the most reported diagnostic was muscular injury, followed by cuts, sprains and tendinitis. The incidence in sailing is low if compared with other sport modalities, despite the high physical demand required during the actions on the boat. It was verified that the professional athletes, who had higher age mean and time of practice, suffered the most injuries. On the other hand, the lowest incidence was among children and adolescents. 
Therefore, it is important that prevention programs start from the first years of practice in order to reduce the risk to future outbreaks, especially of chronic nature. Based on this information concerning kinds of injury, we suggest inclusion of exercises specific to musculature conditioning and compensation in the training programs, as well as stretching and relaxation sessions.

MEDISCHE ASPECTEN VAN HET ZEILEN OP HOOG NIVEAU

MEDISCHE ASPECTEN VAN HET ZEILEN OP HOOG NIVEAU

Zeilers worden voortdurend blootgesteld aanwind en (koud, zout) water en dragen om zich te beschermen, wetsuits, droogpakken, schoentjes (boots), handschoenen en mutsen. In die pakken wordt wat afgezweet (dehydratatie), de irritatie (rash), aan nek en polsen is niet denkbeeldig. De ‘botjes' zijn niet bepaald ademend en de voeten zijn constant vochtig.

Een zeilwedstrijd duurt makkelijk 5 à 6 uur, op het water.

Reken daarbij dat zeilen een life-time sport is, dat zeilers dikwijls ook andere watersporten ‘plegen' die ook een dry of wetsuit vereisen (kite, windsurf, golfsurfen, triatlon, open water zwemmen...). Een goede, liefst preventieve, huidverzorging is duidelijk essentieel.

Op internet zijn er artikels te vinden over zeil-kwetsuren. Specifiek over catamaran gaan ze niet, maar ze geven wel een indicatie van de mogelijke aard van de kwetsuren, hoe ze eventueel te vermijden.

Abstract
Sailing medicine has been mainly addressed by healthcare professionals who happen to sail. Although there has been an increase in the number of studies of various aspects of sailing over the last 15 years, efforts to advance evidence based knowledge of sailing and sports medicine face unique obstacles. Recent interest in research by groups such as Olympic and America's Cup teams has produced beneficial changes.

SKIN CANCER - THE REALITY OF BEING A FAIR-SKINNED SAILOR (2009) 
Dr. Steve Horwitz

'One of the first skin cancer screenings that I did at a regatta was during the 2001/02 Miami stopover for the Volvo Ocean Race,' said Dr. Steve Horwitz.

Steve is sailing's skin doctor. He has been practicing dermatology in Miami for over three decades and has been sailing on Biscayne Bay for longer.

'What surprised me was that only one of the crop of Volvo sailors that I screened had a precancerous growth on his lip,' reflected Dr. Horwitz. 'As it turns out, most of them were Australian or Kiwis. There is such a high incidence of skin cancer down under that there is a huge amount of public information and awareness. Everyone wears rashers, protective clothing and sunscreen.'

(...) The basics - There is a direct correlation between the incidence of sunburn during childhood and the development of melanoma. (A reminder, cataracts are also the result of sunlight exposure). A majority of one's total lifetime exposure to the sun comes during the first 18 years of life. All of you, who are in my age group and have kids in junior programs, take note for your kids and for yourselves. (...)

STUDY IDENTIFIES SAILING INJURIES (2011).

With the America's Cup destination decided, a study identifying sailing injuries is timely;
Just as the site for the 2013 America's Cup has been announced, a study from Rhode Island Hospital highlights that the sport isn't always smooth sailing. The study was published recently in the journal Wilderness and Environmental Medicine.

(...)Also of concern in the results of the survey is that 16 percent of the sailors reported having suffered sunburn while sailing in the year prior. Nathanson says, "Sunscreen utilization was low, particularly in sailors less than 30 years old. Focused educational interventions should be developed aimed at sailors, particularly those in the younger age group, in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Participants in water sports have been shown to be at increased risk of skin cancer because of their prolonged exposure to solar radiation."(...)

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to describe the relative frequency, patterns, and mechanisms of sailing-related injuries in dinghies and keelboats. Data were also collected on risky and risk-averse behaviours of sailors, as well as on sailing-related illnesses.

METHODS:

A web-based, logic-driven, multiple-choice survey was developed and links were posted on sailing-related websites. Data were collected from March through November 2006 on any injuries or illnesses sailors sustained over the prior 12 months.

RESULTS:

From 1188 respondents, a total of 1715 injuries and 559 illnesses were reported. The top 3 injuries for keelboats were leg contusions (11%), hand lacerations (8%), and arm contusions (6%), and in dinghies they were leg contusions (13%), knee contusions (6%), and leg lacerations (6%). The most common mechanisms of injury were "trip/fall," "hit by object," and "caught in lines." Tacking, heavy weather, and jibing were the most common factors contributing to injury. The rates of injury and severe injury in this internet-based survey were 4.6 and 0.57 per 1000 days of sailing, respectively. Of the 70 severe injuries, 25% were fractures, 16% were torn tendons or cartilage, 14% were concussions, and 8% were dislocations. The median rate of lifejacket use was 30%, and median rate of sunscreen use was 80%. Sixteen percent of sailors reported sunburn over the prior 12 months. Seven percent of sailors reported use of alcohol within the 2 hours preceding injury.

CONCLUSIONS:

The most common injuries in both keel boats and dinghies are soft-tissue injuries to the extremities. Severe injuries and illnesses in sailing are uncommon in this study population.

Abstract

Sailors are at risk of injury and an understanding of the risks and causes of injury are important in helping to reduce their frequency and severity.

Injuries are specific to the class of sailing. In elite Olympic-class sailing the incidence of injury is ∼0.2 injuries/athlete/year, with the lumbar and thoracic spine and the knee most commonly injured. Poor hiking technique and inadequate leg strength are thought to predispose the knee to injury. Injuries in novice and recreational sailing are predominantly acute in nature with contusions and abrasions typically occurring as a result of collisions with the boom or other equipment during manoeuvres. The only report of injuries in Paralympic-class sailing found a high rate of ∼100 injuries/1000 days of sailing, likely due to severe sailing conditions. The majority of injuries were chronic in nature, predominantly sprains and strains of the upper extremity. The risk of windsurfing injury ranged from 1.1 to 2.0 injuries/person/year, with the majority of injuries being acute, typically due to impact with equipment. (...)
