COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN THE ATHLETICS ASSESSMENT RESULTS, FOR THE SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL
Abstract
This study presents the level of the students from ”Secondary School Dr. A. Şafran” of Bacău compared with the level of the students from ”Secondary School T. V. Ştefănelle” of Câmpulung-Moldovenesc, Suceava. The comparison was done by the results obtained at two running events. We chose running events for assessment as the content of the curriculum with elements of sports athletics can be fully met, since each school can provide the material conditions necessary to achieve the objectives of the instructive-educational activity. The running events are means with a great weight for the curriculum and for the general educational activity of students. In this study we evaluated 200 subjects, students in grade V and VI at the schools stated above, with ages between 11 and 12 years old, who participated in speed and endurance running assessments, from which the results obtained ware analysed and interpreted. The assessment was: speed running on the distance of 50 m with standing start up and endurance running (600 m girls and 800 m boys). The scope of this study was to highlight the level of the secondary school students from the mountains compared with the level of the secondary school students from lowland in the running events, with an eye for eventual selection for performance level. The hypothesis from which we started was that speed running event on a distance of 50 m with standing start up and endurance running on the distance of 600 m and 800 m can show us the students’ level that can be selected for practicing performance athletics. The methods used in the research were: the bibliographic study method, the conversation method, the method of observation, the method of testing, the analysis and data processing and graphical method.In this study we concluded that there is a valuable difference between the two groups. The results of students in secondary schools from the mountains are better compared with the results of students from secondary schools.
