Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the training-intensity and training-frequency between korea, USA, Germany and Japan in student athletes. Athletes Self-Management Questionnaires about training contents (season vs. off season, training intensity, training frequency, nutrition, recovery time, injury history) were collected and foreign case of athlete (USA, Germany and Japan) were investigated from web-site and specialty publication. The training frequency and training time in korean athletes are 6 day/week, 1,300 min/week for elementary students, 6 day/week, 1,600 min/week for middle school students and 6 day/week, 2,000 min/week for high school students. The training frequency and training time in Japan athletes are 3 day/week, 120~180 min/week for elementary studens, 3 day/week, 540 min/week for middle school students and 6 day/week, 2,000 min/week for high school students. The training frequency and training time in USA athletes are 3 day/week, 33~99 min/week for elementary students and 4 day/week, 4 day/week, 99~280min/week for meddle school students. The training frequency and training time in Germany athletes are 3 day/week, 450min/week for elementary students, 3 day/week, 720min/week for meddle school students and 3~5 day/week, 720min/week for high school students. Student athletes answered that they have 4.7 times higher training time in whole training program and 1.5 times higher during vacation than trainer. In addition, there was no difference training time and training frequency pre and post competition. Korean student athlete have spent more training time and training frequency than foreign athletes (Japan, German and USA). It is very important point that athletic career can shorten without consideration of physiological characteristic. Based on foreign cases, it is necessary to provide new training program for korean student athletes.
