Abstract

The research approach consisted in the implementation of new tests in the physical training evaluation of the students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Mountain Sports from Brașov, in the third year of Bachelor in alpine skiing. The subjects of the research were ten students of FEFSM Brașov. The research activity took place during the 14 weeks of the first semester of the academic year 2018-2019. The objective was to participate and achieve good performances at the National University Ski & Snowboard Championship in 2019, slalom and giant slalom events. 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.

Summary

Introduction

This research approach aimed at introducing three new tests (two speed tests and an adapted Bass balance test) to assess the physical training of students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Mountain Sports in Brasov, in the third year of Bachelor in alpine skiing. Alpine ski racing shows the technical nature of this sport, which requires both skill and motor control from the athletes [10]. Alpine skiing requires all the physical abilities of an athlete, including strength (maximum strength, strength endurance and stability), power, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, balance, coordination and motor control and mobility [8], [4], [2]. The importance of developing coordinative skills in the sports training of alpine skiers with a focus on technical tests is mentioned as the main objective [9].
