THE EFFECTS OF OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM ON JUNIOR II MALE HANDBALL PLAYERS
Abstract
This paper aims to prove the effectiveness of the operational objectives-based sports training program in the junior II male handball players from the Bacau School Sports Club, during the technical-tactical drills. The aim of this research was to test the subjects throughout the competition season by applying a series of technical-tactical tests. We presumed that after applying the operational objective-based athletic training program in the junior II male handball players, the progress in the technical-tactical drills will be ascending, recording superior final results, these being conditioned by an optimal programing of the training.The goal of this study was to prove that the progress of the Bacau School Sports Club junior II male handball players in the technical-tactical drills was correlated with the operational objective-based program.The research subjects consisted of an experimental group from the Bacau School Sports Club and a witness group from School 3 - the Adjud School Sports Club Both groups comprised 19 junior II male players. In order to emphasize the progress recorded in the technical-tactical training, we gathered data from three control drills and from the assessment of the players' actions during the game. The progress was conditioned by the programing of the athletic training; during the training sessions, we intervened each time through the operational objectives, for improving the training process.The more prominent progress during the first part of the competition season is due to the technical training, while the sufficiently prominent progress in the last part of the season is due to the tactical training, a fact that results from the programing of the operational objectives - the ones for the technical training are more in the first part of the season, while the ones for the tactical training are in larger number in the second part of the season.The effectiveness of the programs gained them a first place in the Junior II National Championship.
