Specifika a komparace přípravy vrcholových cyklistů s tělesným postižením

Abstract

Road cycling is a widespread sport. Training preparation is an essential component of the system applicable in the peak of cycling. Our research is focused on the training differences of top road cyclists with disabilities and without disability. There were total 6 respondents in this research, 3 cyclists with different types of disability and 3 cyclists without disabilities with international experiences. The selection of respondents was intentional. The results are noticeable differences in the preparation of training both groups. Most obvious differences are reflected in the overall support (financial, material and team support), absence of stress testing in the groups of cyclists with disability and also in the composition of pre-season training and in the use of flexible forms of organization during training. It was also found that selected athletes with disability have a higher number of training sessions with the same volume at weekly training mode.
