Circus activities - Abstract

The activities found in the circus cause delight to the viewers and practitioners due to its complexity. When considering the objective of the circus to enchant the public and the type of contemporary circus to get a good technique, it was analyzed the circus acrobatics modalities, aerial, juggling and biomechanically balance. In order to discover such magic, some factors were analytical reviewed such as: i) metabolic, ii) physiological as well as iii) the dynamic performance of skeletal muscles and iv) the biomotor ability predominant. Through this analysis, it was possible to contribute for the involved ones in this area on composing the training of a circus artist who practices such modalities. Based on these notes, it was considered the driving force as the ability biomotor and predominant factor for the implementation of procedures and circus anaerobic metabolism as the major route for energy in certain activities. The resistance force is present and necessary in terms due to constant repetition of movements in training and presentations. Finally, we suggest that future studies focusing on the principles of training and the nutritional aspect and other aspects of applied biological circus athletes in order of improvement in human performance.
