Considerations on physical preparation for motoring drivers. Narrative review

Abstract

This study aimed to conduct to foment the discussions and to identify parameters necessary for the physical preparation of race pilots. The descriptors used were motoring; physical preparation and racing driver. Among the results, were found evidences that report high physical practice demand, considering FCMax and basic lactate testing as effort indicators. The level of injury also proved to be important since there is a big muscle involvement and high temperatures inside cars. We conclude that these parameters may help professionals in the physical preparation of pilots and should not disregard the principles of training for such.
