Effects of a Programme of Intensive Training of Alpine Skiing Techniques on Some Motor Abilities
Sport Mont 2020, 18(3), 79-82 | DOI: 10.26773/smj.201015
Abstract
Learning skiing, especially in the conditions of initially learning alpine skiing techniques, is quite tense and takes place over a longer period, with physical and psychological loads, caused by adaptation to new equipment and demanding conditions. This research aimed to determine the effects of a short-term experimental programme of intensive training of alpine skiing techniques to particular motor abilities of students. The sample is divided into an experimental group of beginners who were skiing for the first time and a control group. The results of ANCOVA within variables for the evaluation of motor abilities show statistically significant effects of applying the experimental programme in three out of eight variables. The contribution to these effects is seen in the Hexagon agility assessment test (p=.001) and in tests of static strength of legs: left leg squat endurance test (p=.017) and right leg squat endurance test (p=.013). From the mean value results (M), it is obvious that the experimental group achieved better results compared to the identical tests applied to the control group. The data obtained in this research are of great importance to everyone responsible for the transfer of knowledge and positive developmental effects of physical exercise.
