GONZALEZ, Yennys  y  MENDOZA, Darío. TIME PREDICTION IN THE 300 METER TEST OF YOUNG PERFORMANCE SKATERS. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.2, pp.247-253. ISSN 0123-4226.

Skating race is a competitive discipline of growing popularity, however, the available scientific evidence on training, evaluation and control systems is still limited. By the nature of the discipline, using explosive force tests for the evaluation of athletes is frequent. The objective of the present study is to predict performance in the 300m test of junior category speed skaters. 50 skaters (37 women and 13 men) from junior category were evaluated. 300m races were held on the track of a skating rink, and time was measured by a photocells system (Microgate Polyphemus). Height in squat and countermovement jumps were determined using an optical system (OptoGait, Microgate). 30 s Wingate test was performed in a cycle-ergometer (Cyclus 2-RBM Elektronik Automation). Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed setting 300m race time as a dependent variable. Multivariate analysis showed that average relative power (b=-1.163; se b= 0.326) and squat jump height (b= -1.137; se b= 0.053) were the significant variables (p<0.01) to predict the 300m test (r²= 0.7). The squat jump height and average relative power tests have shown to be predictive of performance in 300m test in junior skaters.
