This study analyzed the body shape, strength parameters, and characteristics of young Chinese freestyle skiing aerials athletes and proposed corresponding training strategies. Twenty athletes participating in the China freestyle skiing Aerials U-series competition were selected as the subjects. The test indexes included height, weight, body fat percentage, lower limb length percentage, Achilles tendon length, waist circumference, Quetelet index, bench press and squat maximum strength, power clean, depth jump, knee joint isometric strength, and hip joint muscle strength. Awarded athletes were taller and heavier, had a lower body fat percentage, a more significant percentage of lower limb length, and a greater Quetelet index than non-awarded athletes. The results of bench press, squat absolute strength, power clean, and depth jump are better, which indicates that the base strength of upper and lower limbs, explosive power of trunk and lower limbs, and synergy among them are the key strength qualities that affect the competitive performance of young aerials athletes. Chinese youth aerials athletes generally have the primary joint flexor, extensor muscle group, left and right muscle group power imbalance problem, which should strengthen the athlete's trunk fast flexor, extensor muscle group, knee joint fast concentric and eccentric force, and hamstring muscle strength, and optimize the balance of left and right side strength.
KEY WORDS: Freestyle Skiing Aerials; Morphology; Strength; Anthropometric; Young athletes.
