The use of traditional and rigid boards in aquatic lifesaving cause more problems than advantages, for this reason was frequently rejected in many lifesaving services. However, based on knowledge and experimentation with inflatable boards many advantages have been proven, doubts and objections on this material are disappearing and, in fact, are beginning to be used in lifesaving services that were previously reluctant to use them.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of using the table AIRSUPRA in the time of approaching for a distance of 100 meters. The sample was integrated by 16 professionals (13 men and 3 women), all of them with rescue techniques certification and updated training, but with no experience managing boards AIRSUPRA. The results show that when the approximation with AIRSUPRA table (TR1) is performed the time was of 54.13 + 8.58, whereas when the approaching is performed swmming the time was of 93.19 + 25.52, with a difference of 39.06 seconds, statistically significant (p <0.001). This first study and its results point to the need for further research with this new material for rescue.
