• Resumen

  • RACE CAR DRIVERS HAVE BEEN CHARACTERIZED AS ATHLETES WHO REQUIRE ATHLETIC ABILITIES AND EXPERIENCE INJURIES. MOTOR SPORTS RESEARCH IS LIMITED AND HAS FOCUSED ON OPEN-WHEEL FORMULA CAR RACING OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH LITTLE ATTENTION PAID TO STOCK CAR RACING, DESPITE ITS POPULARITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO REVIEW THE MOTOR SPORTS' STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING RESEARCH; CHARACTERIZE THE TYPES OF INJURIES, PHYSICAL DEMANDS, AND PHYSIOLOGY OF RACING; AND IDENTIFY FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR CERTIFIED STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING SPECIALISTS WHO WORK WITH STOCK CAR DRIVERS.
