STUDY REGARDING THE USE OF DYNAMIC GAMES DURING THE SPORTS TRAINING LESSON FOR BEGINNER CHILDREN, IN ORDER TO TEACH THEM THE ELEMENTS OF RUNNING

Abstract

The role played by dynamic games in the sports training lesson is precious and very attractive, because it ensures the consolidation of the applicative motor skills and it contributes to the development of general motor skills, especially during the first part of athletic selection. The children take the game very seriously, putting it above any other activity. Taking this information into consideration, the authors have initiated various games through which beginner children would learn running. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the use of dynamic games by track and field coaches who have helped the children learn running as fast and as efficiently as possible, especially at the beginning of sports training, using the following methods: the study of the professional literature, the observation, the data analysis, the graphical representation. The research was conducted at the Athletics Halls of Bacau and Targu Mures, where the training of the beginner groups took place. The subjects were athletes selected for professional groups. The research was conducted over 3 months, on 4 groups (2 female groups and 2 male groups) - 2 groups where dynamic games were applied to teach running and 2 groups where running was taught in a classical manner. The coaches applied an initial testing and a final testing, using a 50m running with a standing start challenge (initial testing was conducted in October, and the final testing, in February). The final conclusions show that the athletes who learned running through dynamic games have learned it better, recording 0.05 seconds less than the athletes who learned running in a classical manner.
