Abstract

Romanian Athletics Federation (F.R.A.) founded in 1912 coordinates all athletics club departments and sports associations in Romania. F.R.A. is one of the most medals federations in Romania, with its portfolio being 44 world records, 15 Olympic records, 34 Olympic medals, and over 350 European and world championship medals [1]. In this framework, an important contribution has Romanian university athletics through the Summer Universiade results from 1959 to 2011. To highlight Romanian university athletics development and trends, we believe it significant to apply a comparative analysis of the dynamic of performances obtained at the World University Games (Summer Universiade) and National University Championship, in correlation with the world performance level.
