Sažetak

The relationship between the occurrence of stress
fractures, training parameters and nutritional regimes was
assessed using an anonymous retrospective questionnaire
in elite international level figure skaters representing all
62 member federations of the International Skating
Union. The response rate was 62% in female and 67% in
male figure skaters. Results were obtained from both
junior and senior figure skaters (245 females and 167
males) with a median age of 16 yrs. for females and 18 yrs.
for males. With regard to the subjects, 41 females (16.7%)
and 25 males (13.8%) reported stress fractures in the last
years of training and competing in figure skating. In
female junior skaters, 75% of the reported stress fractures
occurred in singles, 20.8% in pairs, and 4.2% in ice
dancers. Among male junior skaters, 80% of the reported
stress fractures occurred in singles, 13.3% in pairs, and
6.7% in ice dancers. In senior females, 70.6% of the
reported stress fractures occurred in singles, 23.5% in
pairs, and 5.9% in ice dancers, while among male senior
skaters, 80% of the reported stress fractures occurred in
singles, with 10% in pairs and in ice dancers. Regardless
of the discipline, the majority of all stress fractures were
located in the tibial bone. There was no difference
between the incidence of stress fractures during summer
or winter training, and this incidence was in no way
related to dietary habits. All figure skaters attributed the
occurrence of stress fractures to changes in their training
and competition programs. In women, there was no
statistically significant increased incidence of stress
fractures in those with menstrual irregularities. Important
factors that appear to contribute to the occurrence of stress
fractures in elite figure skaters are increased physiological
demands, including increasing rotations and height of
jumps, as well as more rigorous training and competitive
schedules throughout the skating season.
