Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Women\'s artistic gymnastics (WAG) is a complex aesthetic sport in which athletes start at a young age and are exposed to high loads during their careers. Little is known about the external and internal training load characteristics among elite young gymnasts.
UNASSIGNED: High training loads, with variations over the weeks, are expected. There is a relationship between external and internal load variables.
UNASSIGNED: Cohort study.
UNASSIGNED: Level 3.
UNASSIGNED: Seven elite-level Brazilian youth artistic gymnasts (age, 11.3 ± 0.4 years; mass, 33.0 ± 7.0 kg; height, 137.7 ± 10.6 cm; experience, 4.0 ± 1.2 years) participated in this study. Five nonconsecutive microcycles were monitored. Both external and internal training loads were quantified by counting the number of elements in video recordings of training sessions and by the session rating of perceived exertion method.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 168 individual training sessions were monitored. The microcycle that succeeded the main competition showed a significantly lower training load than ≥3 of the other 4 microcycles for all training load variables, except for vault elements, of which microcycle 4 was inferior only to the microcycle before the competition. Significant correlations were found between weekly internal training load and the total of elements and elements performed on uneven bars.
UNASSIGNED: Youth women\'s artistic gymnasts present fluctuations in external and internal training load variables over the weeks close to a major competition. Training load management in this sport must consider the specificity of each apparatus, as they have different demands and training load behaviors.
UNASSIGNED: A better comprehension of external and internal training loads in youth WAG and its apparatuses can benefit coaches and support staff and provide more information to overcome the challenge of training load management in gymnastics.

摘要：
■女子艺术体操（WAG）是一项复杂的美学运动，运动员从小就开始，并在职业生涯中承受高负荷。关于优秀年轻体操运动员的外部和内部训练负荷特征知之甚少。
■高训练负荷，随着几周的变化，是预期的。外部和内部负载变量之间存在关系。
■队列研究。
■3级。
■七位精英级巴西青年艺术体操运动员（年龄，11.3±0.4年；质量，33.0±7.0kg;高度,137.7±10.6厘米；经验，4.0±1.2年）参加了这项研究。监测五个非连续微循环。通过计算训练课程的视频记录中的元素数量以及感知的锻炼方法的课程等级来量化外部和内部训练负荷。
■总共监测了168个单独的训练课程。对于所有训练负荷变量，成功参加主要比赛的微循环显示训练负荷明显低于其他4个微循环中的≥3个，除了Vault元素，其中微循环4只不如比赛前的微循环。每周的内部训练负荷与元素总数和在高低杠上执行的元素之间存在显着相关性。
■青年女子艺术体操运动员在接近大型比赛的几周内表现出外部和内部训练负荷变量的波动。这项运动中的训练负荷管理必须考虑每个设备的特殊性，因为他们有不同的需求和训练负荷行为。
■对青少年WAG及其器械的外部和内部训练负荷的更好理解可以使教练和支持人员受益，并提供更多信息以克服体操训练负荷管理的挑战。
