The initial testing was performed on October 5, 2018, and the final one on January 18, 2019. In the period between the tests, sports training programs were implemented that aimed primarily at developing speed motor quality in all its forms and coordination skills. The research results highlight both the progress of all subjects and the very good results obtained in the targeted ski events, national university champion titles, and rankings among the top six places.
