The aim and purpose of the thesis was to draw up a training program for physical preparation of hip hop dancers during the transitional period, which is often neglected. In the thesis, a survey of research has been carried out, concerning the injuries of hip-hop dancers, oxygen consumption, aerobic and anaerobic work in dancing and the necessary components needed for successful hip-hop dancers. When drawing up the program for the transitional period, we focused mainly on endurance, strength endurance and we also included flexibility workouts. With endurance training we tried to use methods that are most accessible and realistic for implementation. We used aerobic training – music group aerobics, which has a very positive impact on the development of movement and functional abilities. Aerobics is very similar to dancing, because it is a combination of physical abilities required for dancing and it is also necessary to follow the rhythm dictated by the music. Fartlek is very suitable for the development of endurance as well, so we included it in the program, since this form of training develops versatile movement abilities and not only those which are necessary for dancing. For the development of strength, we used circuit workout since competitive hip-hop dancing is not usually an individual competition. An exception to this is, when competing in the solo discipline, but a larger group competition, therefore this exercise is organizationally the most suitable. For the development of strength, we used group circuit workouts since competitive hip-hop dancing is mostly group competition. Therefore this exercise is organizationally the most suitable and also appropriate for individuals, duos and small groups. We will also include flexibility trainings as a separate exercise unit and as an addition at the end of strength trainings.
