Publication Embargo Key technical factors and steadiness in Olympic and regional sailors in ILCA class: insights from a sailing simulator study(Taylor & Francis, 2025-03-16) Abellán-Aynés, Oriol; Chicoy-García, Ion; Segado Segado, Francisco; Encarnación-Martínez, Alberto; Manzanares Serrano, Aarón; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakLittle attention has been given to the study of sport sailing. A new trend in performance analysis of cyclic sports involves examining steadiness between cycles. Therefore, the aims of this study were as follows: to determine which technical aspects differ between Olympic and regional-level sailors to maximise performance in the ILCA class, and to analyse whether steadiness in these technical variables is enhanced in athletes at a higher competitive level. A total of 36 ILCA sailors participated in the study—8 from Olympic teams and 28 from regional competitions – performing a sailing test on a simulator. Performance and technical variables, such as speed, heading angle, boom angle, heel angle, rudder angle, and hiking effort were assessed. Additionally, short-term and long-term steadiness of these variables were analysed. Olympic sailors demonstrated superior performance by higher speed, greater hiking effort, and lower heading, boom, heel, and rudder angles (p < 0.05). Furthermore, Olympic sailors exhibited greater steadiness in some technical variables (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Olympic sailors outperform regional sailors in specific linear tests due to higher speed influenced by technical aspects related to the mechanical behaviour of the boat and the ability to maintain more consistent force values and steadier technical aspects.Publication Open Access Steadiness of technical variables as a determinant factor of performance in a virtual simulated regatta(Taylor&Francis, 2024-06-28) Abellán-Aynés, Oriol; Segado Segado, Francisco; Menayo, Ruperto; Manzanares, Aarón; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakThe aim of this investigation is to explore the relationship between Optimist sailing performance with boat steadiness as well as the steadiness of cyclic variables related to sailors` technique, in the upwind leg of a regatta. Thirty-two sailors from the optimist class (16 bottom level and 16 top level) performed a regatta in a semi-immersive simulator which measures the instantaneous velocity, heading, boom, heel, and rudder angle and hiking effort. It was calculated the mean values as well as the short-term steadiness and long-term steadiness throughout the test. Top level and bottom level sailors were compared and the correlation between these variables and mean velocity were analysed. Significant differences were found between groups on mean values, STS values and LTS values as well as significant correlations ranging r values between 0.385 and 0.768. If the steadiness of sailing variables is considered, they appear as determinants of performance in Optimist class while this is not observed when analysing mean values.
