Study Regarding the Physical Training of Female Junior III High Jumpers

Abstract

Juniors III (14-15 year olds) were introduced in athletics three decades ago. In women's high jumping events the winning result was around 1.55 meters. Currently, the debut in athletics is around the age of 6-7, and in high jumping the winning result is over 1.60 m. This year even, during the winter competitions, the women's event was won with 1.63 m, while the value of 1.55 m was not even in the top three places. Of course, these performances have determined changes in the elaboration strategy of annual, stage, and weekly training plans. Because School Sports Club Bacău has had good and very good results in this event throughout time, this study aims to emphasize the main means and methods used to develop the specific high jumping motor skills in the training of female juniors III. The working hypothesis was the following: the specific means and methods used to train the female juniors III from SSC Bacau for the high jumping event could constitute a national training model and an important model in establishing the training strategies for starting out coaches.The research methods used in this scientific endeavor were: the documentation method, the observational experiment, the observation method; the statistical-mathematical method of recording and interpreting the data. The study has confirmed partially the working hypothesis.
