Study regarding the evolution of the results recorded by esthera petre in the high jump event during 2002-2011

Abstract

This study aimed to emphasize the dynamics of the results recorded in the high jump event, in the children I, juniors III, juniors II, juniors I, and Youth categories, by one of the best Romanian female high jumpers. In order to emphasize the evolution of the results in the high jump event, we conducted a longitudinal study, and we used as research methods: the study of the specialized literature, the observation, the recording of the results, the statistical-mathematical method, and the chart method. The information regarding the results was gathered from the official documents of the Romanian Track & Field Federation and the National Sports Agency. The verified hypotheses proved that the results recorded throughout 2002-2011, were increasing, and the progress was different from one year to another. The results, recorded and analyzed, emphasize the dynamics of the evolution of competition years and age categories. They prove a progressive and predictable evolution. The conclusions emphasized the fact that authentic talent can progress in time, which confirms our hypothesis, but also that top performance has ups and downs.
