A dialogue on the sports training theories in professional and scientific periodicals

Abstract

The purpose of a scientific dialogue is to overcome existing problems, participate responsibly, and find out the real nature of an issue, rather than to "be enclosed within a room" with one theory - studying one theory until its ultimate purpose is revealed. The dialogue preceded by a problem presented in a sincere and "risky" way and followed by a responsible attempt to solve the presented problem can be considered the true scientific dialogue. Establishing the criteria for conducting a dialogue may be relevant for discovering the reality in a scientific discipline. The dialogue on the sports training theories has been ongoing and the main aim of this paper was to overcome the problems related to the "rival theories" - the traditional theory of sports training versus the theory of the sports training block periodization. A weakness of the current dialogue on the sports training theories is a small number of the criteria on which the discussion on the "rival theories" is based. The dialogue should be conducted repeatedly in order to find a more tolerant attitude towards the other/different or in order to strengthen the already existing opinion. .
