摘要:AbstractThis paper aims at indentifying the functional stress involved in performing technically difficult elements, in order to optimise their neuromuscular control. Eleven junior gymnasts were investigated, using a heart rate monitor, a standardised simulator and training test, video analyses and the Six Sigma statistical processing method. The heart rate values varied between hard and above maximum intensity levels for all technical elements included in the routines. Computerised training sessions led to a significant statistical improvement in neuromuscular control in performing simplified movements requiring the muscular groups involved in the difficult technical elements which were analysed.
