Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of basic ski training on strength and advanced jumping in children of 8-10 years of age on the Alpine discipline that continues with a period of 8 weeks of technical teaching. Method: Measures were taken in the snowstorm project carried out by Kayseri Youth Services and Sports Provincial Directorate. The participants were volunteers who did not know about 21 ski sports, consisting of 13 boys and 8 girls. 3 days a week for 8 weeks of ski basic training was applied. In comparison of group data, dependent group t and Wilcoxson tests were used. Results: In both male and female girls, the first and last test found a statistically significant difference in body weight parameters (p<0,05). There was no statistically significant difference in size length (p>0,05). Both men and girls have had a significant change in their hands-on strength, standing long jumping and hanging arms (p<0,05 and p<0,001). There was also a statistically significant difference in the Quadriceps muscle strength values in boys (p<0,05) while there was no significant change in boys (p>0,05). Result: As a result, the 8-week alpine discipline is a technical focus of ski teaching, but it has been shown that children in the 8-10-year-old group have a positive development in the strength and advanced jumping characteristics. Coaches should not ignore that the strength and jumping abilities of the children will increase with the technical focus training. Similar studies in different age groups and different regions can give better results. Parents and parents should be aware of the effects of ski education on the development of children.
