Izdelava standardov za potencialno uspešnost mladih teniških igralcev : magistrsko delo

Bezjak, Blaž (author), Filipčič, Aleš (mentor)

Med analizo dostopnih virov s tega področja ni bilo zaslediti podobne študije. Razloga sta najbrž dva: 1) da ni veliko teniških zvez ali raziskovalnih inštitucij, ki bi imele takšno bazo podatkov (z vidika števila vključenih športnikov in časa spremljanja) in 2) večina teniških zvez nima v svoji bazi testiranj podatkov vseh najbolj uspešnih teniških igralcev in igralk. Tenis vključuje zahtevne tehnične, taktične, kondicijske in psihološke prvine. Sestavljen je iz različnih vrst udarcev in gibanj, kar od igralca zahteva širok spekter fizičnih in mentalnih sposobnosti. Uspešnost v tenisu je pogojena z obvladovanjem številnih dejavnikov, kot so zdravstveno stanje, morfološke in gibalne razsežnosti, psihološke sposobnosti ter izkušnje igralca. Vodenje procesa treninga, ki vključuje načrtovanje, nadzor in ocenjevanje, je ključno za dolgoročni razvoj igralcev. Pomen testiranj in meritev v tenisu je izjemno velik, saj omogoča prilagajanje trenažnih programov posameznikovim potrebam in spremljanje njihovega napredka. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti standarde za potencialno uspešnost mladih teniških igralcev, glede na starost, spol in uvrstitev na profesionalni teniški lestvici.. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 22 mladih teniških igralk in 10 mladih teniških igralcev, ki so bili v času meritev stari med 11 in 14 let. S pomočjo rezultatov meritev zadnjih 30 let smo izračunali srednje vrednosti za rezultate testov gibalnih, funkcionalnih in morfoloških sposobnosti. Ključne ugotovitve magistrskega dela so, da se srednje vrednosti rezultatov med spoli razlikujejo. Fantje dosegajo boljše rezultate pri testih merjenja agilnosti ter eksplozivne moči, medtem ko dekleta dosegajo boljše rezultate pri testih gibljivosti. S starostjo se izboljšujejo vse gibalne sposobnosti, opazi se zgolj zmanjšana mobilnost ramenskega obroča. Najbolj zanimive so ugotovitve, na katerih področjih v mlajših letih izstopajo igralci in igralke, ki so kasneje imeli najvišje uvrstitve na profesionalni teniški lestvici. Fantje, ki so kasneje imeli najboljše uvrstitve, so imeli najboljše rezultate pri testih pahljača, poligon nazaj, štiriskok. Pri teh testih so imela najboljše rezultate tudi dekleta, ki so se uvrstila najvišje, s tem da so izstopala še pri rezultatih teka na 9x6 metrov, odbijanju žogice z loparjem, tapingu z roko, dvigovanju trupa, izpadnem koraku v stran, dolžini spodnje okončine, imela pa so tudi najnižjo kožno gubo trebuha.

• Title: Establishing Standards for the Potential Performance of Young Tennis Players

Abstract

An analysis of the available resources in this field did not reveal a similar study. There are likely two reasons for this: 1) there are not many tennis federations or research institutions with such a comprehensive database (in terms of the number of athletes involved and the duration of tracking), and 2) most tennis federations do not have testing data for all of the most successful tennis players in their databases. Tennis involves complex technical, tactical, conditioning, and psychological elements. It consists of various types of strokes and movements, which require the player to possess a wide range of physical and mental abilities. Success in tennis depends on mastering numerous factors, such as health status, morphological and motor dimensions, psychological abilities, and player experience. Managing the training process, which includes planning, monitoring, and evaluating, is crucial for the long-term development of players. The importance of testing and measurements in tennis is immense, as they enable the adjustment of training programs to individual needs and the monitoring of progress. The purpose of this research was to determine the standards for the potential performance of young tennis players, based on age, gender, and ranking on the professional tennis ladder. The study involved 22 young female tennis players and 10 young male tennis players, aged between 11 and 14 at the time of measurement. Using the results from the past 30 years, we calculated the average values for tests of motor, functional, and morphological abilities. The key findings of the master's thesis indicate that the average results differ between genders. Boys achieved better results in agility and explosive strength tests, while girls performed better in flexibility tests. With age, all motor abilities improved, with the exception of reduced mobility in the shoulder girdle. The most interesting findings relate to the areas in which young players who later achieved the highest rankings on the professional tennis ladder stood out. Boys, who later reached the best rankings, excelled in the fan drill, backward obstacle course, and quadruple jump tests. Girls, who achieved the highest rankings, also excelled in these tests but additionally stood out in the 9x6-meter run, ball bouncing with a racket, hand tapping, trunk lifts, lateral lunges, lower limb length, and had the lowest abdominal skinfold thickness.
