Experience of Czech elite trampolinists and their coaches with lost move syndrome

Novotná, Anežka (author), Burešová, Iva (author)

This exploratory qualitative study explored the experience of Czech elite trampolinists and their coaches with Lost Move Syndrome (LMS). Six in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with three trampolinists (aged from 13 to 20 years) and their coaches (aged from 45 to 46 years with coaching experience ranging from 20 to 28 years). Statements were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results contributed to the mapping of this essential but not well-described phenomenon in the literature, showing, in particular, the significant variability in the perceived causes of LMS. Physical manifestations of LMS in individual trampolinists were quite different. Fear and misunderstanding of LMS were common psychological issues in all trampolinists. At the same time, there were significant differences between the experience of LMS by trampolinists and their coaches. The most crucial factor for understanding LMS appears to be personal experience with LMS. The results may be helpful for coaches in practice or sports psychologists to understand trampolinist's experience of LMS further.

• Title: Izkušnja čeških vrhunskih akrobatov na veliki prožni ponjavi in njihovih vaditeljev s sindromom izgubljenega gibanja

Abstract

V tej raziskavi so preučevali izkušnje čeških vrhunskih akrobatov na veliki prožni ponjavi in njihovih vaditeljev s sindromom izgubljenega gibanja (ang. »Lost move Syndrome« - LMS). Opravljenih je bilo šest poglobljenih polstrukturiranih pogovorov s tremi akrobati (starimi od 13 do 20 let) in njihovimi vaditelji (starimi od 45 do 46 let vaditeljskimi izkušnjami od 20 do 28 let). Izjave smo razčlenili s pomočjo pojmovno razlagalne razčlenitve. Rezultati so prispevali k predstavitvi tega bistvenega, vendar ne dobro opisanega pojava v virih, kar kaže zlasti na pomembno spremenljivost zaznanih vzrokov za LMS. Izražanja LMS na telesu pri posameznih akrobatih so bile precej različne. Strah in nerazumevanje LMS sta bili pogosti duševni težavi vseh akrobatov. Hkrati so bile pomembne razlike med izkušnjo LMS s strani akrobatov in njihovih vaditeljev. Zdi se, da je najpomembnejši dejavnik za razumevanje LMS osebna izkušnja z njim. Rezultati so lahko v pomoč vaditeljem v praksi ali športnim psihologom pri nadaljnjem razumevanju akrobatove izkušnje LMS.
