Comparative Study Regarding the Strategies of Learning and Improving Alpine Skiing at Children and Juniors

Abstract

In this paper, I tried to prove that within the Sportive School Club Toplita, it is been used a much more effective method that is better structured than at the Borsec Skiing Association. At the same time, at the club from Toplita there is a specialist coach and appropriate equipment, while at the Borsec Skiing Association, there is no specialist coach or appropriate equipment. In order to show the importance of equipment and the specialist coach’s role I used two tests. During the first test, I clocked each tested subject from both clubs in four competitions, each competition having two parts. During the second test, I used coaches’ opinions about the athletes’ evolution at training and at competitions. Finally, after centralizing the obtained data, obtained showed that the learning and development strategies of athletes and professional coaches are important preparation.
