FLEXIBILITY TRAINING IMPROVES ELEGANCE IN ICE BALLET
ABSTRACT Introduction Ice ballet is performed through various movements with high artistic attributes such as skating, foot movement, rotation, and jumping on ice. The development of ice ballet flexibility can make the movements more graceful and coordinated and improve muscle strength. The athlete’s flexibility can prevent accidents and reduce injuries. Objective This study aimed to analyze the effect of body flexibility on improving movement skills in ice ballet. Methods This paper selects ten ice ballet athletes as the object of research. The physiological and biochemical indicators of the athletes are examined by employing literature, experience, and data statistics. An investigation of the effect of physical flexibility on the performance of ice sports is carried out. Results The athletes exhibited high flexibility, and their muscles, tendons, and ligaments evidenced improved elasticity and extensibility. There is a correlation between body fat and flexibility in the athletes. The athletes exhibited no metric difference in body composition after the competition. Conclusion Flexibility training is significant in improving the movement abilities of athletes. Focusing on flexibility training in athletes’ daily training allows them to improve the flexibility and extensibility of their muscles, tendons, and ligaments. There is a correlation between body fat and flexibility in athletes. The athletes had approximately the same body composition metrics after the competition. Focusing on flexibility training during athletes’ daily training allows for improved flexibility in sports movements. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
