For this purpose we have con<strong>si</strong>dered that anoptimum relationship of technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning and specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning inperformance weightlifting will contribute to the improvement of performancesachieved in competition.The study was centered round the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning programs in order to test the level oftechnical and specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning; a monitoring of performance parametersevolution has been made statistically. The statistical proces<strong>si</strong>ng was done in Wordand „KyPlot‖ programs, calculating the usual statistical indices and the test oflinear correlation. To highlight the level of technical and specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ningduring the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning of performance weightlifters, a study was conducted within theWeightlifting Olympic Team. The study was carried out throughout two annualcycles period (2008 - 2009), formed of 10 macro-cycles, applied on a group of 9athletes, aged 18-24, at juniors, youth and seniors classes.The results of the study highlight the level of technical and specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ningof the weightlifters-subjects of the study and the dynamics of their performances in2008-2009 tr<strong>ai</strong>ning cycles.In conclu<strong>si</strong>on, we are able to confirm that the provi<strong>si</strong>on of optimal relationshipsbetween specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning and technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in performanceweightlifting helps to improve performances in competition.Key words: weightlifting, phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, control trials,performance.IntroductionPhy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning is one of the mostimportant factors and, in some cases, the most<strong>si</strong>gnificant ingredient of sports tr<strong>ai</strong>ning inachieving the high performance. The m<strong>ai</strong>nobjectives of phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning are the increaseof athlete‘s phy<strong>si</strong>ological potential and thedevelopment of the biometrical tr<strong>ai</strong>ts up to thehighest level (T. Bompa, 2002).The specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning content ism<strong>ai</strong>nly oriented towards the growth of effortcapacity that characterizes this sport branch,and towards the increase of the involved motorskills –combined in a primarily anddifferentiated way. Thus is determined thespecific yield. In some sport branches, theperformance is strictly established by thedevelopment level of a motor skill (inweightlifting – by strength, in rowing – byendurance) or of a complex of motor skills(sports games, combat sports, etc) (A. Dragnea,1996). The expert use of strength exerciseshelps to restore the effort capacity; thealternation of the less involved muscle groupsand of muscle groups with maximum stress is acondition of workouts effectiveness (A. Nicu,1993).Learning the techniques used in varioussport branches is generally characterized by thelaws and phases of motor skills and actions, ofcourse, with some differentiating, specificnotes, determined by the particularities of sportbranches. (A. Dragnea, 1996). The relationsbetween technical elements and technicalprocedures are not present in all branches ofsport, some of them having technical procedures211

In conclu<strong>si</strong>on,we can say that the m<strong>ai</strong>n trend of the handballgame, is to be practiced totally of ascientifically bases, and create and implementas a richer technical-tactical baggage, andadapting of the purpose of each competition,namely to score many points in the enemy gate.We can say that the handball game learnto the individual to be disciplined, orderly,industriously, self-consciously about collectivesuccess, ambitious and eager for self.ContentIt is known that the assumptions aretemporary solutions of the scientific researchproblems.Generally hypothe<strong>si</strong>s represent ownuncert<strong>ai</strong>nties explanation, in scientific researchher taking place a provi<strong>si</strong>onal solution of anprovi<strong>si</strong>onal response to the question of theproblem under research.The hypotheses of this paper were:-- If the means proposed, selected andimplemented, can lead to very <strong>si</strong>gnificantincrease of a motor qualities indicesdevelopment, specific handball game, verifiedand certified by the control samples, report totheir values, proposed by Romanian Federationof Handball (R.F.H.).-- If scientifically effected, the childjuniorstr<strong>ai</strong>ning can lead to assumptionsdevelopment, to a f<strong>ai</strong>r and harmoniousdevelopment, and to increase of a motorqualities indices development.Proficiency knowledge a morphofunctionaland psychical particularities, of theeach child with which working, is the only waywhat allow avoid of the two most commonmistakes in sport activity, namely overexaggeratedefforts of the body and exces<strong>si</strong>vecaution, because that the preparation ism<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ned on a level bellow by the child‘spos<strong>si</strong>bilities.In terms of developing motor qualities,can be s<strong>ai</strong>d that the m<strong>ai</strong>n motor solicitationsforms, are represent by the motor qualities, that219

THE ANNALS OF “DUNAREA DE JOS” UNIVERSITY OF GALATIFASCICLE XV ISSN – 1454 – 9832 - 2011IntroductionArtistic gymnastics is currentlyexperiencing a new level of development interms of content and assessment of exercises.The new modifications of the Code of Points,related to the difficulty of technical elements,the granting of bonuses for the connections oneach apparatus and last, but not least, thespecific requirements of each apparatus willdetermine new guidelines and tendencies in thetechnical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning on competition apparatus. (V.Potop, 2008).Learning the technique specific todifferent sport branches is generallycharacterized by the laws and stages of learningthe motor skills and acts, with, somedifferential, specific notes, determined by theparticularities of sport branches (A. Dragnea,1996). In any sports branch, thus in artisticgymnastics too, the process of learning, throughits quality, influences the performancesachieved. In this context, its content modifiesgradually the behavior of response to the stimulirequirements during tr<strong>ai</strong>ning ses<strong>si</strong>ons (G.Niculescu, 2003).As shown by M. Epuran, learningmovements in sport is a special type, becauseperformance is embodied just in the qualitativelevel of the execution, such as in the case ofartistic or rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating,synchronized swimming, etc.; if objects areused (throwing, sport games, etc), these onesrepresent the intermediate tools by means ofwhich are manifested and assessed thecoordinative abilities, the strength, speed orre<strong>si</strong>stance features of the respective movements(A. Dragnea.; S. Mate- Teodorescu, 2002).Artistic tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in gymnastics is aspecial and complex component of sportstr<strong>ai</strong>ning, which provides phy<strong>si</strong>cal andpsychological support to achieve movements ina personal style, at the indices of technicality,plasticity, suggestibility and expres<strong>si</strong>venessrequired by the specific character of the sport(V. Grigore, 2002).Phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning is one of the mostimportant factors of sports tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in achievingthe high performance. The m<strong>ai</strong>n objectives ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning are the increase of athlete'sphy<strong>si</strong>ological potential and the development ofthe biometric skills up to the highest level.(T.O. Bompa, 2002). Phy<strong>si</strong>cal skills or motorskills, as called by Zatziorski, represent thepremises or ba<strong>si</strong>c motor requirements on whichthe athlete builds technical skills. (C. Bota; B.Prodescu, 1997). The growth of specificstrength indices, which characterize artisticgymnastics, on each apparatus actually,involves the stress of particular muscle groups,specifically differentiated from the whole leanbody, and the directions of engagement of suchgroups must meet sports technique (V. Grigore,2001).Gymnastics has made great technicalprogresses but also higher performances thanksto its perfecting as time goes on and to theimprovement of functional parameters ofcompetition apparatus. Coaches must always beconcerned to imagine and create the means,apparatus and technologies to help athletes intheir work during tr<strong>ai</strong>ning ses<strong>si</strong>ons and, at thesame time, to protect them and to alleviate theireffort throughout the learning and improvementprocess (N. Vieru, 1997).Purpose of the paper: to highlight theinfluence of phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning means ontechnical elements learning on differentapparatus of women‘s artistic gymnastics.Hypothe<strong>si</strong>sWe believe that the use of the mosteffective preparatory exercises for developingthe muscle groups necessary for technicalelements execution and the use of auxiliaryequipment for improving and correctingtechnical elements or phases on each apparatuswill help to improve technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning level andto learn more effectively these elements.Study organization and conduct.To highlight the level of specificphy<strong>si</strong>cal and technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning of junior femalegymnasts, a case study was organized in SchoolSports Club no.7 Dinamo Bucharest.

To ensure themotor support necessary to technical elementslearning on different apparatus, we mustcon<strong>si</strong>der some methodological issues (Potop V.,2005, 2008): establishment of special phy<strong>si</strong>caltr<strong>ai</strong>ning shortcomings and of the strategynecessary to correct them; correlation of generalphy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning means and special phy<strong>si</strong>caltr<strong>ai</strong>ning means depending on the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning stage,etc.To provide an effective technicaltr<strong>ai</strong>ning it is important to take into account thefollowing methodological issues (V. Potop,2005, 2008): the number of trials and thepassage from a preparatory exercise to anothermust be performed depending on the accuracyof the technical execution and on gymnasts‘individual pos<strong>si</strong>bilities; as they learn a givenexercise, the number of reps is reducedgradually, moving on to another more complexexercise, etc.The study was centered round thetechnical and phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning programs, overthree mezzo-cycles, monitoring statistically theevolution of effort parameters and thedynamics of technical elements learning on eachapparatus, etc.The review of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning means content interms of use of strength preparatory exercisesand of equipment for learning the technicalelements on different apparatus, showed that thegoal of u<strong>si</strong>ng auxiliary equipment in vaults wasto improve the flight I and II and the correctionof the support on apparatus; on uneven bars thestrength preparatory exercises and the auxiliaryequipment were used to learn and improve thetechnical elements; on beam, the acrobaticelements were learned by means of thegymnastic bench, mats under the beam and, lastbut not least, the help; as for the acrobatics onfloor, the target was to learn, improve andcorrect the acrobatic elements, u<strong>si</strong>ng differentpreparatory exercises and auxiliary equipmentat sponges pit.The analyses of statistical-mathematicalcalculations results highlight an increase ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning level from 14.45 in tr<strong>ai</strong>ningmezzo-cycle no. 1 to 16.36 in mezzo-cycle no. 2and 18.9 in mezzo-cycle no. 3 and <strong>si</strong>gnificantdifferences between averages and mezzo-cyclesat P0.05.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onsThe study <strong>ai</strong>ms to highlight the level ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal and technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in three tr<strong>ai</strong>ningmezzo-cycles, monitoring statistically thedevelopment of effort parameters and thedynamics of technical elements learning ondifferent apparatus.The study content highlights thesequence and number of work on each apparatusfrom the total workouts made per tr<strong>ai</strong>ningmezzo-cycles.The efficient use of strength preparatoryexercises and of auxiliary equipment in learningof technical elements on various apparatuspoints out the improvement of flight I and IIand the correction of the support on apparatu<strong>si</strong>n the case of handspring vaults; learning,improvement and correction of technicalelements on uneven bars, beam and floor.Highlighting the development level ofmuscle strength and its influence on learningthe technical elements on different apparatus.Improvement of phy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning levelfrom one tr<strong>ai</strong>ning mezzo-cycle to another and<strong>si</strong>gnificant differences between averages andmezzo-cycles at P0.05.At the end of the study we can confirmthat the use of the most effective preparatoryexercises for developing the muscle groupsnecessary for technical elements execution andthe use of auxiliary equipment for improvingand correcting technical elements or phases ateach apparatus will help to improve technicaltr<strong>ai</strong>ning level and to learn more effectivelythese elements.References1.

In athletics, it isaround 10-11 years of age (FRA, 1995).Sport, Romanian and foreign authorsshow that early selection is sometimes risky.First, it can leave out the process of preparingchildren very well equipped and, secondly, thatearly athletic tr<strong>ai</strong>ning introduced only bringgood results and short-term risk to seriouslyaffect later body balance (Neder Paraschiţa F,2010).Research goal is to select as manystudents of class - IV - the athletes to practice,from phy<strong>si</strong>cal evidence tested.Research hypothe<strong>si</strong>s: It is assumed thatthe total number of students tested will be atleast 10 athletes selected for the practice ofathletics.Research tasks:- Browse the most comprehen<strong>si</strong>vebibliography of material.- Creating an overall picture of theproblem.- The operational framework forachieving a form to be used in selectingwork.- Providing data system specialists,results of the study, which based on aselective approach, can be used in theselection of concrete work.Subjects of this study were three classesof students - IV - sector 3 of Bucharest, aged 10to 11 years. Of these, 10 were selected (threegirls and seven boys) for practicing athletics.The research took place from September 25 toOctober 10, 2010.Research methods used were:bibliographic study method, observationmethod, testing method: Tests on the 30 metersprint race, running the 600 meters, long jumpstanding and oina throwing, graphicalrepresentation method, statistical andmathematical method.Upon completion of testing girls haveachieved the following results:No.crt.Name30 meter sprintrace (sec.)Long jumpstanding (m)Oina throwing(m)Running the 600meters (min.)1.

D.Teacher Dumitru Colibaba – EvuleţAbstract: The essay elaborates a strategic project selection and tr<strong>ai</strong>ning of youth icehockey in the Romanian first formative stage, at the U8 age group (6 -7 years). Foreach formative stage it must be developed and tested an own analytical program,with objectives, content, instructional strategies and evaluation tools specific to thatlevel. Also, this approach is made taking into account the requirements of themodern game, defining characteristics of worldwide schools dedicated to hockey,age characteristics, socio-economic conditions in our country, etc.Key words: strategy, tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, ice hockey.IntroductionCompared with other Europeancountries, ice hockey in Romania is lesscommon and practiced as a high performancesport. This state of things is due to a number ofperformance capacity limiting factors such as:the small number of centers or clubs where icehockey is practiced, small number of ice rinks,lack of contact with worldwide schools devotedto ice hockey and, the last but not the least theselection and tr<strong>ai</strong>ning methodology exceededand was unable to tr<strong>ai</strong>n players (teams) at worldhigh performance level.MotivationOne of them could be the lack ofspecialty and Romanian authentic scientificresearch, with reference task, selection, icehockey players and team tr<strong>ai</strong>ning (especially atjuniors level). 31 years experience in practice ofice hockey, where I met the selection criteriarequirements and I crossed in time, all theformative stages of high performance athletes(components of the Junior National Team 1992-1996), components of the Senior National Team(2000 - 2005), National Champions with C.S.A.Steaua Bucharest team 4 Romanian Cup winner(2000, 2001, 2002, 2004).Knowledge of philosophy andpreparation of team playing ice hockeyRomanian and its comparison with those used inworld hockey schools.In addition with this to theoreticalinformation sources, I had participated totr<strong>ai</strong>nings and I had conversations with thefollowing ice hockey specialists such as:Corduban Octavian, Florian Gheorghe, MariusGliga (internally) and with: Tom Skinner, KevinFigby, Junnu Kataya, Olexandr Kulikov(worldwide).PurposeRethinking and restructuring theselection methodology and tr<strong>ai</strong>ning oftraditional ice hockey teams praxiologicalcircuit model are presented below:O C S EFigure no. 1 – Tr<strong>ai</strong>ning process diagramThis circuit is a part of a true"praxilogical axis‖ which always guarantees thequality and effectiveness of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning conductedin each part of the formative stage.Research objectives1.

STUDY REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF KINETOTHERAPY INSCOLIOSIS RECOVERY TO SMALL AGED SCHOOL CHILDRENELENA MOLDOVANRAZVAN SANDU ENOIUUniver<strong>si</strong>ty Tran<strong>si</strong>lvania of BraşovDr. ADRIANA LEIBOVICIHospital/S<strong>ai</strong>nt, Luke‘s Medical Center, Cleveland, USAAbstract: Premises: scientific research has proved the importance of kinetotherapyin correcting scolio<strong>si</strong>s in C and the quality of life. One states that the kinetotherapyprograms concur to the slowing down of scolio<strong>si</strong>s and to the reduction of functionaldisorders. The objective of this study is the effect analy<strong>si</strong>s of a complexkinetotherapeutic program on a phy<strong>si</strong>cal deficiency, scolio<strong>si</strong>s, in C, to small agedschool children. The study was effectuated on a period of 12 months, compri<strong>si</strong>ng 30subjects (girls) with ages 9-11. The subjects participated in a kinetotherapeuticexercise program on 50 minutes, twice a week, the program being adapted to eachand everyone’s individual characteristics.The evaluation included specific tests, functional tests for usual movements and thespine evaluation. After 12 months of kinetotherapeutic program specific to theimprovement of scolio<strong>si</strong>s, the results showed an amelioration of the testedparameters.Conclu<strong>si</strong>ons The statistic analy<strong>si</strong>s of the data involved proved an improvement of thetested parameters. The study points out that a complex and constantkinetotherapeutic program contributes to the cessation of scolio<strong>si</strong>s in C and inducespo<strong>si</strong>tive effects on the functional parameters with a con<strong>si</strong>derable impact on the lifequality of small aged school children with scolio<strong>si</strong>s. Once the phy<strong>si</strong>cal deficiencyhas been tracked down, a complex treatment shall be set up that will con<strong>si</strong>der thenature and the cause of the deficiency in question as well as the morphological andfunctional characteristics of the deficient child.Keywords: kinetotherapy, recovering scolio<strong>si</strong>s, small aged school children.IntroductionThe child‘s organism is in a continuousstate of development, but this is not aharmonious process, for the periods ofaccentuated growth alternate with the ones ofslow development. In children, the change ofbiophy<strong>si</strong>cal processes is done in accordancewith the laws of ontogenetic growth anddevelopment that mark the pas<strong>si</strong>ng from onestage, consecutively: childhood, puberty andadolescence.The growth and development in normalconditions is done continuously, until thematuration period of the organism. After thisperiod, the inten<strong>si</strong>ty of the processes andphenomena is starting to decrease. Alterationsappear also in the rhythm of processes andphenomena that are different in duration andinten<strong>si</strong>ty. Many authors have tried to establishlaws after which the growth and development ofthe organism take place, beginning withdifferent ba<strong>si</strong>c criteria (Ionescu A., Mazilu, V.,1968).The child‘s muscular system in theprocess of ontogene<strong>si</strong>s suffers importantstructural and functional modifications, whilethe functional qualities of the muscles arebeginning to alter con<strong>si</strong>derably. The musculartonus modifies, as well. The child‘s movementsare characterized by clum<strong>si</strong>ness. At the age 7-11, all the sections of the muscular apparatusare developing intensely. In the developingprocess of the locomotive apparatus thedynamic qualities of the muscles are alsomodifying: speed, strength, re<strong>si</strong>stance andcunningness (Baciu, C.1981).A primary element of the locomotiveapparatus is the spine, which, in literature, iscompared to a mast of the organism. The spine‘sattitude is not the same in all individuals andonly starting from the types of posturedescribed by Foza, the pathologicalaccentuations of the spine‘s curves can be takeninto account (Demeter, 1974)In the purpose of an efficientkinetotherapeutic activity it is necessary torespect the early tracking down of thedeficiency, the effort grading, and thecon<strong>si</strong>stent continuation of the kinetotherapeutictreatment, as well as the individualization of therecovery.Kinetotherapy is an individualizedtherapeutic form that, starting from the staticand dynamic phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises, can be used in235


the prophylactic, curative and recoverytherapeutic programs (of prevention) to whatscolio<strong>si</strong>s is concerned. Kinetotherapy occupies acentral po<strong>si</strong>tion within the phy<strong>si</strong>cal methods ofrecovery applied to the people presentingphy<strong>si</strong>cal deficiencies of the spine. Thekinetotherapist establishes the objectives andthe precise tasks, as well as the means ofachievement, for each patient and during everystage of recovery (Munteanu, A., 2003).Preventing vicious po<strong>si</strong>tions, m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ningarticular mobility, favoring the recovery of theactive mobility in the areas partially affected,facilitating breathing, collaborating with therest of the crew for the common tasks, such aspreventing eschar formation, are all objectivesclosely followed from an early stage,immediately after the stabilization of thegeneral condition and the advancement of theacute disorders related to the deficiency or theoperatory interventions.In the recovery process, thekinetotherapist bears a special respon<strong>si</strong>bility,for he is the one conducting and applying thephy<strong>si</strong>cal recommendation in dependence withthe respective affection. He is in permanentcontact with the patient, following theprogresses and permanently collaborating withthe MD.The most well known spine pathologicaldeficiency is the scolio<strong>si</strong>s. In its evolution,scolio<strong>si</strong>s acquires a serious character and isaccompanied by the formation of cert<strong>ai</strong>n stableanatomical alterations of the spine and thorax.The static and dynamic function of the spineand the thorax are being defied which ultimatelyleads to the destabilization of the cardiovascular and respiratory functions. That is whythis deformation is called the scoliotic disease(Duma, E., 1997). Scolio<strong>si</strong>s especially develop<strong>si</strong>n the growth periods of the skeleton. If itappears at an early age, it becomes reallysevere. The scoliotic disease, at the end of theprimary cycle occupies the first place amongother spine deformations, being most commonin girls (4-5 more that in boys)( Foza, C., 2002).Bearing in mind that during the growthperiod, a scolio<strong>si</strong>s over 30 degree can aggravatewith one or two degree per month, factverifiable during the periodical checks (onceevery 6 months), there is the danger ofadvancing 50 degrees, when surgicalintervention is required. The definition of thescolio<strong>si</strong>s lies in the frontal deformation androtation of the spine (lateral curve),incompletely reducible, with progres<strong>si</strong>veevolution and consequences on its morphologyand functionality. In exchange, the scolioticattitudes are part of the functional scolio<strong>si</strong>s andrepresent a lateral cant of the thorax in frontalplan without provoking asymmetricaldeformation of the trunk or the par vertebralareas. They can be provoked by irregularities ofthe inferior limbs, hip ankylose in viciouspo<strong>si</strong>tions, antialgical par vertebral muscularcontractions, disk hernia, etc. These scolioticattitudes are not evolutional and disappear oncethe cause that produced them has beencorrected.Nonstructural and functional scolio<strong>si</strong>sas well as scoliotic attitudes are characterizedby the fact that the lateral deviation of the spineis completely reducible from the clinically andradiological point of view, in the recumbentpo<strong>si</strong>tion. These types of scolio<strong>si</strong>s are notaccompanied by alterations of vertebral orgibbous structure (the deformation of the spine)and are spontaneously reduced through minimalintervention (Zaharia, C., 1991).Scolio<strong>si</strong>s is a constant deviation of thespine in frontal plan that can either be found asa <strong>si</strong>mple cast or a lateral curve – partial or total– either as a system of two or more alternativecurve, accompanied by the rotation of thevertebra (the tor<strong>si</strong>on of the vertebral bodies)towards the convexity of the scoliatic curve, thevertebral coastal gibbous part or the posterioraccentuated form the convexity part, andtowards the asymmetry of the scapular andpelvic belt (Ionescu, A., Mazilu, V., 1968).The scolio<strong>si</strong>s with a <strong>si</strong>ngle curve isfrequently total, towards the right or left and iscalled scolio<strong>si</strong>s ―in C‖; the scolio<strong>si</strong>s with twocurves is called ―in S‖, and at her enunciationone mentions only the sense of the dorsal curve.Scolio<strong>si</strong>s, as other spine deviations, isdivided in functional and pathological scolio<strong>si</strong>s.Functional scolio<strong>si</strong>s is characterized bymodifications in the shape and structure of thecomponent elements of the spine andaccompanies secondary functional disorders.This pathological scolio<strong>si</strong>s is determined bywell defined causes. Among these forms there isthe congenital, rachitic, paralytic, pleuralscolio<strong>si</strong>s, very serious in teenagers andadolescents, traumatic and rheumatic throughvertebral tuberculo<strong>si</strong>s.Depending on the normal benchmarkswe are familiar with (the po<strong>si</strong>tion of the spine inrepose and during movement) we can drawseveral conclu<strong>si</strong>ons, depending on themechanisms of scolio<strong>si</strong>s and thekinetotherapeutic programs de<strong>si</strong>gned to improveit.In this context, we have undergone apedagogical experiment to which small agesschool children have participated (30 girls, 9-12 years old ) with the diagno<strong>si</strong>s of ―II degreescolio<strong>si</strong>s‖. The subjects of the experiment haveparticipated for a period of 12 months, twice a236


week, to a complex kinetotherapeutic programdeveloped together with the doctor who oversawthe evolution of subjects for slowing down theevolution of scolio<strong>si</strong>s.The kinetotherapeutic programunrolled by the experiment group forscolio<strong>si</strong>sThe scolio<strong>si</strong>s kinetotherapy has acomplex character and is especially efficient inthe initial stage of development to whatdeformity is concerned (Rădulescu, A., 1988).Con<strong>si</strong>dering the tendency of scolio<strong>si</strong>s towardsprogress, an efficient result in recovering it isthe stabilization of the pathological process.The scolio<strong>si</strong>s kinetotherapy has comprised aseries of phy<strong>si</strong>cal methods that have included arational motile regime, procedures of organismstrengthening, orthopedic measures, activecorrection regime (phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises), hydrokinetotherapy, massage, pas<strong>si</strong>ve correctionregime, phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy, sport.The recovery program followed:- Stopping the scolio<strong>si</strong>s evolution;- Correcting the deviations of the spineand m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning this correction(preventing relapses or the periods ofunfavorable periods);- Reducing the functional disorders andthe secondary asymmetries of the body;- M<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning a good muscular tonus,especially of the vertebral muscularityand the trunk.The phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises used incorrecting scolio<strong>si</strong>s have followed the excitationof the muscular tonus and the sense of correctattitude of the entire body, and especially theback.The purpose of the correctivegymnastics was the following:- Correcting the spine by innervating theback muscularity;- Reducing the coastal gibbous tendencyby mobilizing the spine and detor<strong>si</strong>ngthe vertebral bodies;- Recovering the pelvis and balancing thescapular belt;- Developing the mobility of the thorax;- Creating a reflux of correct posture.The methods used included static anddynamic exercises through trunk movements,superior and inferior limb movements, breathingexercises, applicative exercises of crawling andbalance, recovery and relaxation exercises.The recovery program included:Respiratory Gymnastics- The complex recovery and respiratorygymnastics program of the spine curves(Schroth curves);- Practicing swimming (breast stroke,back stroke and freestyle) thatcomprises a series of valuable qualitiesform the scolio<strong>si</strong>s recovery point ofview.Self control Gymnastics – it was donein front of the mirror, fully requiring all thesubjects‘ collaboration.In the case of the pedagogicalexperiment the following specialized tests havebeen used:- The mobility of the spine in frontalplan, dorsal plan, as well as the lateralmobility of the spine in the left lateraldecubitus and the right lateraldecubitus;- General re<strong>si</strong>stance of the back muscles;- Static force;- The body‘s muscle endurance in the leftand right part;- The frontal and dorsal muscleendurance of the inferior limbs.Aquatic gymnastics – the therapeuticprogram comprised aquatic gymnastics as wellfor the therapeutic effects demonstrated overthe years. Aquatic gymnastics presumedpracticing phy<strong>si</strong>cal water exercises, atherapeutic method that used <strong>si</strong>mple water andpresumed the immer<strong>si</strong>on of the entire body. Anymovement done in the sense of the floatation,meaning down and up, shall be executed withless ea<strong>si</strong>ness, the necessary muscular forcebeing quite weak.To the up and down or lateralmovements there is a force oppo<strong>si</strong>te water,making the effectuated movement moredifficult. Consequently, this determines theincrease of force and the muscular re<strong>si</strong>stance.The water from the recovery pools is m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>nedat a temperature of 35-36° C, the temperature towhich the antialgical effects (p<strong>ai</strong>n killers) areproduced, as well as the decrease in generalmuscular tonus and peripheral vasodilatation,with the decrease of the arterial pressure. Inthis context, the aquatic gymnastics presumedexercise effectuated in a pool where the waterreached the chest level, and the majority of theexercises have been done with properequipment.The dynamic indicator values inspecialized tests during the experiment arepresented in table 1.237

the deficiency in question and child‘s morphologicaland functional characteristics.Another ba<strong>si</strong>c principle in correctingphy<strong>si</strong>cal deficiencies is getting familiar with theeffects of the kinetotherapy, especially on thelocomotive apparatus and its functions. No othertreatment can replace phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise in its action ofstrengthening the muscularity, mobilizing thearticulations, correcting the vicious po<strong>si</strong>tions orperfecting the coordination in movements.The effects of the kinetotherapy on themorphological elements are quite important,especially when talking about ligaments and musclesby meeting and shortening the enlarged and thin ones,or elongating and relaxing the short and tight ones.Choo<strong>si</strong>ng, adapting and combining the specific andunspecific means of kinetotherapy with the correctiveses<strong>si</strong>on must respect the principles of acces<strong>si</strong>bility, ofdosage and progres<strong>si</strong>ve grading of the phy<strong>si</strong>cal effort,applying it in a different and individualized way.It is important that one carries out apermanent control over the correct back po<strong>si</strong>tion in allphy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises. A greater importance lies inconstructing a permanent preoccupation for selfcontrol in the spine po<strong>si</strong>tion in all the activities a childeffectuates during the day: practicing <strong>si</strong>tting downduring classes, 5 or 6 hours per day.A special place must be held by thedevelopment of sen<strong>si</strong>bility and the child‘s reactionregarding the respective deficiency, especially atpuberty, due to special organic and psychic conditionsof fast and disproportioned growth, muscular andarticular insufficiency and due to a series of psychicdifficulties of concentration and self control.Individualization is necessary not only foradapting the treatment means to the particularities ofthe case, but especially for the deficient child to freelyexecute the corrective exercises so that he/she can beea<strong>si</strong>ly followed, guided and controlled. The child‘senergy must be rationally used, in the sense of u<strong>si</strong>ng itwith a corrective purpose within the correctionprogram.Executing the corrective exercises demandsthe subject a greater effort of concentration and selfcontrol in obt<strong>ai</strong>ning cert<strong>ai</strong>n correct exercises that iswhy one must avoid exhaustion, monotony andre<strong>si</strong>gnation.Consolidating good results as well aspreventing relapses is m<strong>ai</strong>nly a problem of continuityand perseverance to what practicing a correctiveprogram at home is concerned.As a consequence for systematicallypracticing a phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise, local or general effectsappear, immediate or late, ephemeral or long lasting,that improve the structure and functionality of thehuman body. From the therapeutic role point of view,kinetotherapy has beneficial effects at any age, butespecially during the growth period.During the entire kinetic recovery program,one must keep in mind the following:- Increa<strong>si</strong>ng the muscular tonus in theconvexity part, in shortening conditions (onemust work concentrically);- Increa<strong>si</strong>ng the muscular group tonus in theconcavity part, in elongating conditions (onemust work eccentrically);- Increa<strong>si</strong>ng the elasticity and the mobility ofthe thorax;- Increa<strong>si</strong>ng the posture of the shoulder line,the shoulder blades and the pelvis –developing the reflex of correct posture.Bibliography1.

An important objective of thetreatment is the patient’s con<strong>si</strong>stent participation in an exercise program to thepurpose of m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning functional posture and preserving mobility. The ‖Harrison‖exercise is known to increase mobility and improve this function. The objective ofthis article is to prove that by implementing specific and rigorously applied kine<strong>si</strong>sprograms associated to the balneary and phy<strong>si</strong>cal programs, the CDL mobility,respiratory and articulation functions that were lost as a result of AS may beretrieved, and the resulting sequelae may be consequently reduced. Material andmethod. The study was of the prospective, organisational type, and took place in theLacu-Sarat resort between April 2009- April 2011. It included 21 AS diagnosedpatients. They were hospitalised and were subjected to a personalised therapeuticprogram. They were divided into two lots: a witness lot undergoing medical andbalneary treatment; a study lot undergoing, be<strong>si</strong>des these, kine<strong>si</strong>s therapy. Theirevolution was monitored at the beginning of the program, after 6 months and after 1year. Results. The menton stern index improved by 0.5 – 1 cm for the patients instages II and III. For the stages II and III, the value of the occipital-wall indexincreases by 0.5 – 1 cm in stages II and III. In stages III – IV and IV no <strong>si</strong>gnificantimprovement in mobility was recorded, this index being high, viz. 2 – 3.5 cm. Instages II and III, the value of the Schober index reaches 2.5 cm. For the patients instages III – IV and IV the index value increases by approximately 0.5 cm, rem<strong>ai</strong>ningstill low (0.5 – 1.8). The Tomayer index IT–the flexion increased in amplitude foreach IT category by at least 5-15 cm. The cirtometric index—as a result ofrespiratory gymnastics, both in hospital and at home, its value increased in thepatients in stages II, III and III – IV by about 1.5 cm, reaching values of 3, 5-5 cm.For the patients in stage IV it rem<strong>ai</strong>ned low, and the witness lot registeredstatistically low improvements viz. 1-5cm for all indices. Conclu<strong>si</strong>ons. Therecovering phy<strong>si</strong>cal and kine<strong>si</strong>s treatment deeply impacts on the disease’s activityvariables, especially the functional index. The clinical variables of evaluating thefunctional status, including the area of AS disability and infirmity had a decrea<strong>si</strong>ngtendency during the 12 months, revealing the favourable effect of the complexrecovery treatment. Statistically <strong>si</strong>gnificant correlations were made between theactivities of d<strong>ai</strong>ly living (ADL) and the functional status indices (Schober,Tomayer,CI)Key word : ankylo<strong>si</strong>ng, kine<strong>si</strong>ology, functional, program.IntroductionThe last 10 years have been dedicated toresearching osteoarticulatory pathology by theWorld Health Organisation, and thus the interestin these conditions has increased due to thecon<strong>si</strong>derable morbidity generating prolonged ordefinitive losses of work capacity.As the life span increases, osteoarticulatorydiseases represent the m<strong>ai</strong>n cause ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal disability in developed countries, 50-60 % of the patients lo<strong>si</strong>ng their work capacity,which leads to important financial losses. Thecomprehen<strong>si</strong>ve evaluation of the locomotivepatients‘ health is acquiring ever moreimportance due to the diver<strong>si</strong>ty of methods ofrecovery treatments <strong>ai</strong>ming at the functionalcomponent of the pathology of this apparatus(Harrison).Motivation and working hypothe<strong>si</strong>sRecent studies show that AS patients areaffected by this condition in the mostproductive period of their life. The severe,chronic and invalidating evolution of thedisease determines a large number of patients to240


prematurely end their profes<strong>si</strong>onal activity orhinders their employment pos<strong>si</strong>bilities; hence,the con<strong>si</strong>derable increase in the social costs ofthe disease.(1) The working hypothe<strong>si</strong>s is thatthe ethiopathogenic treatment in may beascribed to rheumatology, while preventing andrecovering functional deficits generated by thedisease fall to phy<strong>si</strong>cal medicine and m<strong>ai</strong>nlykine<strong>si</strong>s therapy. The present study <strong>ai</strong>med atidentifying an effective strategy in approachingthe disease through phy<strong>si</strong>cal and kine<strong>si</strong>s means.(2)Purpose of the studyThe purpose of this article is todemonstrate that by implementing cert<strong>ai</strong>nspecific and rigorously applied kine<strong>si</strong>s programsassociated to balneary and phy<strong>si</strong>cal treatment itis pos<strong>si</strong>ble to recover the CDL mobility,respiratory and articulation functions, lost as aresult of AS and its sequelae. AS is aninflammatory disease which predominantlyaffects the axial skeleton and sacral-iliacarticulations, able to interest (in various degreesand frequency) the peripheral articulations, thusleading to a wide range of extra-articulardeterminations.

The studyorganised was of the prospective, observationaltype and took place in the ―Lacu-Sărat‖ resortbetween April 2009- April 2010 . It included anumber of 21 patients diagnosed with AS. Thepatients were hospitalised with a therapeuticprogramme adapted to the clinical evolutiveform of the disease and their therapeutic option.They were divided into 2 lots:• A witness lot undergoing medicaltreatment, as well as balneary-phy<strong>si</strong>caltreatment;• A study lot benefiting , in addition tothe previous treatments, from kine<strong>si</strong>stherapy.The evolution was studied at thebeginning of the programme, after 6 months andafter 1 year. The patients were introduced in thestudy in various periods of evolution andmedical treatment, which were relativelyhomogeneous for the 2 lots. The standardobservation sheet documenting the observationof the patients includes data allowing thepersonalisation of the recovery treatment:identification data for the patient, diagno<strong>si</strong>s,data on the presence and location of p<strong>ai</strong>n,associated pathologies, complications,investigations, evaluations of the indicesassessed.The initial assessment at the moment ofentering the study is more det<strong>ai</strong>led and includes,in addition to the demographic and anamne<strong>si</strong>sdata, the following: p<strong>ai</strong>n assessment, clinicalfunctional assessment, the analy<strong>si</strong>s of theparameters of articulatory mobility (cervical,lumbar and thoracic indices), the analy<strong>si</strong>s ofmuscle strength, assessment of the mental and241


affective status. The methodology of correctiveaction in recovery. The recovery treatmentapplied was the following:1. Thermotherapy andelectrotherapy for decontraction and:electotherapy: galvanisations, short waves,ultrasound 10-15 mins.; mud baths: 37 degrees,20 mins. 2. Massage, as a complementarymethod, prior to the kine<strong>si</strong>s treatment fordecontraction: 10 mins/day 3. Kine<strong>si</strong>s therapy20-30 mins/ 2 ses<strong>si</strong>ons/day to the p<strong>ai</strong>n threshold4. Occupational therapy. The treatment waseffected in 2 ses<strong>si</strong>ons of 15 days each, separatedby a pause of 6 months. General and respiratorykine<strong>si</strong>s therapy. General KT focused onpreventing and combating deposturation throughexercise:‣ M<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning and correcting bodypostures and allignment;‣ recovery, m<strong>ai</strong>ntenance and increase inarticulatory suppleness for the cervicallumbar-thoraxspine, the scapula andcoxo-femural articulation, recovery andm<strong>ai</strong>ntenance of muscle tone.Respiratory KT – indispensable inpreventing restrictive respiratory dysfunction‣ Corrective respiratory gymnastics (inpre-ankylo<strong>si</strong>s stages);‣ Reeducation of thoracic respiration;‣ Reeducation of abdominal respiration(in advanced stages)In order to accurately assess the state ofAS patients included in the study, the followingvariables were used: demographic variables;clinical variables. The demographic structure ofthe 2 lots was approximately <strong>si</strong>milar: 47% ofrural origin and 53% of urban origin ; 86% maleand 14% female. The age ranged between 23-60. The profes<strong>si</strong>ons were varied (31%) workers,(26%)clerks, (38%) retired people. (fig.5)Fig 5. The demographic structure of the 2 lotsClinical variables. The parameters studied inboth lots were as follows: the menton –sternindex, the occiput—wall index, the exten<strong>si</strong>onof the cervical spine, the tragus – acromionindex, the cirtometric index, the Tomayer index,the Schober index. In the statistic proces<strong>si</strong>ng ofdata the following were calculated: thearithmetic average, standard deviation, standarddeviation of the average and the t variableAs a result of the treatment applied, theparameters under study were modified, asfollows:• The menton stern index IMS wasmodified to 10% (18%)• The Schober index IȘ 22 (38%),• The tragus acromion index ITA 14(25%),• The cirtometric index IC 11 (19%).The post treatment evolution of IT (theTomayer index) fingers-ground IT of 15 cm st.Ito 0-10cm(22%)IT of 32cm st.

ResultsPost treatmentThe menton stern index improved by 0.5– 1 cm in patients in stages II and III, whilepatients in stages III and IV preserve theirmobility.Stages II and III, the value of theocciput-wall index increases by 0.5 – 1 cm instages II and III . in stages III – IV and IV nocon<strong>si</strong>derable mobility index was registered , theocciput-wall index rem<strong>ai</strong>ned at high values of 2– 3.5 cm.The Schober Index Flexion recoverywas better for patients in stages II and III, thevalue of the Schober index reaching up to 2.5cm. For patients in stages III – IV and IV thevalue of the index increases by approximately0.5 cm, rem<strong>ai</strong>ning low (0.5 – 1.8).The Tomayer index IT. The thoraxflexion is further assessed by means of theTomayer index (fingers – ground) and itsnormal value is zero. As a result of the kine<strong>si</strong>stherapy an increase was noted in the amplitudeof the flexion in each category of IT of at least5-15cm.The cirtometric index. The thoracicspine mobility is also indirectly assessed bymeasuring the thoracic expan<strong>si</strong>on, by means ofthe cirtometric index, its normal value beingover 3-5 cm. In AS the problems at the level ofrib and vertebra articulations determine thedecrease of thoracic expan<strong>si</strong>on. As a result ofrespiratory gymnastics, practised both at thesports centre and at home, the value of thecirtometric index increased for patients instages II, III and III – IV by approximately 1.5cm, reaching the value of 3-5-5 cm. Forpatients in stage IV it rem<strong>ai</strong>ned low, at 1.8 cm.Conclu<strong>si</strong>ons1.The recovery treatment of the kine<strong>si</strong>stype deeply impacts on the disease activityvariables, especially the functional index.2. The clinical variables of functionalstatus assessment, including the disability andinfirmity area in AS, showed a decrea<strong>si</strong>ngtendency during the 12 months, evincing thefavourable effect of the complex recoverytreatment.3. Statistically <strong>si</strong>gnificant correlationswere made between the quality of life (ADL)and the indices of functional status(Schober,Tomayer, cirtometric index).4.

Dr. Doina Mârza-Dănilă, PhD,Faculty of Movement, Sports and Health Sciences, Univer<strong>si</strong>ty „Va<strong>si</strong>le Alecsandri‖ of BacăuAbstract: The real personality includes the whole processes, functions, tendencies,features and mental states of an individual which he can express anytime, fact thatprovides him the identity and the per<strong>si</strong>stence in time.The outgoing personality includes the whole tr<strong>ai</strong>ts and features which the individualexpresses in particular and specific modalities of behavioral externalization andobjectivity.It is interesting to realize a comparative analy<strong>si</strong>s, to show how the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapistsknow themselves and how they con<strong>si</strong>der that it is necessary to adapt their externalbehavior in the relationships with the others around, depending on the d<strong>ai</strong>ly<strong>si</strong>tuations with which they are meeting all the time.Keywords: kine<strong>si</strong>otherapist, real personality, manifested personality.IntroductionThe human variability is a known fact.Each individual has a set of abilities, skills, orqualities. People are different from one anotherwhen are regarded from cert<strong>ai</strong>n points of view.But variability is not manifested only inindividuals; it extends to groups of people.From a psychological point of view, the humanbeing is seen as manifesting a multitude ofdifferentiating elements. This idea of individualand group differences was one of the conceptsthat determined me to choose this researchtheme, wanting to clarify the aspectscharacterizing the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists, and to seethe way in which these aspects influence therelations with the patients and the results of thetherapeutic-rehabilitating act.Allport (1981), in the chapter"Understanding Personality", shows that "forthe understanding of the personality, what i<strong>si</strong>mportant is the perception of the person,involving the acces<strong>si</strong>bility of the other,manifested through the de<strong>si</strong>re to revealthemselves, and the ability to judge, based onexperience, <strong>si</strong>milarity, intelligence, cognitivecomplexity, self-intuition, social skill andadaptation, detachment, aesthetic attitude,interception".M. Zlate (1999) thinks that "in the total,whole human personality - looked from theperspective of philosophy, one one <strong>si</strong>de, as aconcrete personality, and on the other <strong>si</strong>de, asan ideal to achieve - what is <strong>si</strong>gnificant is notthe skills, the tr<strong>ai</strong>ts, the structures, the systemsand subsystems of the personality, but theparticular way in which they are integrated andused in behavior. Thus, what is of greatimportance is what the person really is, whathe/she wishes to be, what he/she thinks ofothers, what he/she believes that other peopleare thinking about him/her, his/her manifestedbehavior being according to one or another ofthese elements, or to the particular way theyintegrate and function". We know, fromeveryday life, that some people behave as theyare, while others, as they think they are, or asthey think other people expect them to behave.On the other <strong>si</strong>de, in interpersonal relations itdoes not matter what is really the person like,but how he/she manifests with other people.According to Zlate, M. (1999), "the realpersonality (RP) is constituted of all thepsychological processes, functions, tendencies,skills, and states that a person has in a givenmoment, and that the individual can useanytime, which ensures his/her identity anddurability in time.""The manifested personality (MP) isrepresented by all the tr<strong>ai</strong>ts and skills thatfound their expres<strong>si</strong>on in each individual'sparticular, specific, own ways of behaving; it isa synthetic psycho-behavioral construction,because it comprises either some aspects, <strong>si</strong>des,parts of each facet of the personality, or all ofthe facets, articulated and integrated betweenthem" (Zlate, M., 1999).Subjects, assessment methodsThis study comprised 100 practicingkine<strong>si</strong>otherapists. In order to determine the realpersonality of the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists, we used theEysenck-Wilson Questionn<strong>ai</strong>re, for theextrover<strong>si</strong>on-introver<strong>si</strong>on dimen<strong>si</strong>ons, takinginto con<strong>si</strong>derations the following primaryfactors (with 30 questions for each primary246


factor):assertiveness-unassertiveness,sociability-unsociability, risk-taking - prudence,impul<strong>si</strong>veness-control, practical-reflexiveness,irrespon<strong>si</strong>bility-respon<strong>si</strong>bility.In order to establish the manifestedpersonality profile, we used the methodologyintroduced by M. Zlate (1999) for determining asynthetic-integrative model of the personality.For this, we conceived a self-assessmentquestionn<strong>ai</strong>re, cont<strong>ai</strong>ning questions regardingthe manner in which the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapistsbelieve each component of their personality ismanifested in the relations with other people.Each primary factor was noted by thekine<strong>si</strong>otherapists in five answer <strong>si</strong>tuations: inrelation to himself/herself; to his/her ideal; toothers (phy<strong>si</strong>cians, patients, colleagues), to theirown person reflected in others (phy<strong>si</strong>cians,patients, colleagues), to externalized,manifested behavior.ResultsThe profile of the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists' realpersonalityFollowing the Eysenck-WilsonQuestionn<strong>ai</strong>re, for the extrover<strong>si</strong>on-introver<strong>si</strong>ondimen<strong>si</strong>ons, the distribution of the scores foreach of the personality primary factors ispresented in Table 1. The real personality wasmeasured with a 30 level scale.The statistical analy<strong>si</strong>s of the recordedresults shows that in the case of respon<strong>si</strong>bility,there are representative lower level factors(Respon<strong>si</strong>bility, Expres<strong>si</strong>veness, Assertiveness,and Sociability), and relatively representativelower level factors (Impul<strong>si</strong>veness and Risktaking).Distributions that are close in a cert<strong>ai</strong>nmeasure to the mesokurtic ones were recordedin the case of Respon<strong>si</strong>bility and Assertiveness(values of the coefficients 1 are close to 3),platykurtic ones (in the case of Expres<strong>si</strong>veness,Risk-taking, and Impul<strong>si</strong>veness), andleptokurtic (in the case of Reflexiveness andSociability). This <strong>si</strong>tuation was caused by thehigh number of recorded scores, and by adistribution of the scores that came close tonormal values, in comparison with the profile ofthe manifested personality.The deviations from normality are smalland moderate in the case of Respon<strong>si</strong>bility,Reflexiveness, Risk-taking, and Assertiveness(po<strong>si</strong>tive asymmetries), pronounced in the caseof Impul<strong>si</strong>veness (negative asymmetry), andaverage towards pronounced (negativeasymmetries) in the case of other personalityprimary factors.PrimaryfactorsTable 1.

degree of concordance, harmony, ordiscordance, disharmony, and disagreementbetween them.

In order to identifythe existence or non-existence of cert<strong>ai</strong>n<strong>si</strong>gnificant differences between the realpersonality, measured with a 30 level scale, andthe manifested personality, measured with a 9level scale, the 30 level scale was converted to a9 level one (Table 3).Table 3.

The kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists believethat they must make large efforts to modifytheir attitudes and behaviors in relations toothers, especially regarding the Respon<strong>si</strong>bility(1), Expres<strong>si</strong>veness (3), Assertiveness (4), andSociability (6) (Chart 1). It is not bad that thepeople we studied con<strong>si</strong>der they must manifestthemselves at higher levels of cert<strong>ai</strong>n primaryfactors that have a great openness towards thesocial and towards relations with others, but -let us not forget these realities - in order toachieve this constantly, they make extra efforts,which in time can be perceived as exhausting.Thus, a cert<strong>ai</strong>n tendency can appear, torenounce the adaptation efforts, thepersonalities manifesting as they are, a fact thatmay not be in agreement with the neces<strong>si</strong>ty toensure harmonious relations with the peoplearound you.249

Comparative analy<strong>si</strong>s of thereal and manifested personality of the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists1 2 3 4 5 6 7Manifested pers.Real pers.Conclu<strong>si</strong>ons The kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists do not knowthemselves well enough, and they do not assessthemselves objectively, a <strong>si</strong>tuation that isreflected in the overestimation of the neces<strong>si</strong>tyto adapt their behavior that is concordant withtheir real personality to the different <strong>si</strong>tuationsthey are confronted. Because of the adaptation efforts thekine<strong>si</strong>otherapists have to make in order to reachan adaptation level they think necessary, thereare a series of dissonances, the reduction ofwhich presupposes extra efforts, leading tooverwork and fatigue. The profile of the kine<strong>si</strong>otherapists' realpersonality is characterized by a slightly lowdevelopment level of cert<strong>ai</strong>n primary factorsthat are susceptible to be influenced by a wellorganized and managed educational process,which could help also to become aware of theirtrue personality, and implicitly, to a better selfknowledge.Bibliography1.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PHYSICAL THERAPY IN THERECOVERY OF PREHENSION MOVEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH STROKEPhD. Ghinea Cătălina MihaelaUniver<strong>si</strong>ty of Piteşti, Faculty of Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education and Sport, ROMANIAAbstract: At present, in Romania, stroke ranks second in terms of causes of deathand approximately 80% of those who survive face multiple times with <strong>si</strong>gnificantsequelae, leading to a decreased quality of life of both patients and their families.Grips strength deficit is one of the most common problems ari<strong>si</strong>ng after stroke. Theprehen<strong>si</strong>on is the action of clamping an object, and essential in this motoric gestureis the opponent thumb.Phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy has an important role in the process of recovery of grip strengthdeficit, occurred after a stroke.Through specific methods and techniques of phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy, made a noticeableimprovement of hand functional capacity and increa<strong>si</strong>ng the independence of thepatient.Key words: phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy, recovery, prehen<strong>si</strong>on, stroke.Scope of paperImplement specific phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapymethods and techniques, in the process ofrecovery of grip strength movement, in patientswith status post stroke and evaluating theeffectiveness of phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy in therecovery process of gripping motion.MethodsThe experimental research wasconducted on a sample of 30 patients agedbetween 50 and 75 years, subjects who hadsuffered a stroke in 2008 – 2010. Patients weredivided into two groups, an experimental groupand a control group.Each patient in the experimental groupcorresponds to another patient in the controlgroup, the two patients have in common gender,age, diagno<strong>si</strong>s, type of injury and symptoms.During the recovery period, the patient<strong>si</strong>n the experimental group, had phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy,phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy and medication. The patients inthe control group did not do phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapybut have followed medication and occa<strong>si</strong>onallyphy<strong>si</strong>otherapy.During research several series of testsand questionn<strong>ai</strong>res have been applied with aview to carefully following the evolution ofrecovery, both from a functional deficit point ofview, as well as from a patient life quality pointof view. The tests applied are as follows:numerical scale of thumb oppo<strong>si</strong>tion, testing thejoint mobility, testing the prehen<strong>si</strong>onmovement, testing the types of grasp,dynamometric test of prehen<strong>si</strong>on and manualability questionn<strong>ai</strong>re, Michigan handquestionn<strong>ai</strong>re, life quality assessmentquestionn<strong>ai</strong>re.The recovery programme was organisedaccording to the needs of the experimentalgroup and according to the objectives set.Within the recovery programme the followingspecific objectives was rendered evident:fighting ag<strong>ai</strong>nst p<strong>ai</strong>n, reducing spasms,increa<strong>si</strong>ng mobility, strengthening hypotonicmuscles, correcting and improving vicious andcompensatory attitudes, educating and reeducatingfinger pincers, educating and reeducatingthumb oppo<strong>si</strong>tion.Methods and means used were part ofthe kinetotherapy-specific methods and of othercomplementary techniques. Kinetotherapymethods were the following: massage, pas<strong>si</strong>vemobilisation, auto-pas<strong>si</strong>ve mobilisation, activemobilisation, neuro proprioceptive facilitatingtechniques, occupational therapy, activeexercises, exercises involving re<strong>si</strong>stance,exercises involving objects, hydrokinetotherapy.Clas<strong>si</strong>cal massage is defined as a seriesof various manual manoeuvres systematicallyapplied on the surface of the hand fortherapeutic purposes. It may also be deemed asa series of manual mechanical proces<strong>si</strong>ngcarried out on the surface of the segment in acert<strong>ai</strong>n sequence according to the region, thetherapeutic purpose and the general and localstate of the segment.Mobilisations are actions that <strong>ai</strong>m atputting in movement one or several muscles,limbs or articulations.Neuro proprioceptive facilitatingtechniques: neuromuscular proprioceptivefacilitation means making the voluntary motorresponse ea<strong>si</strong>er, encouraging or accelerating thesame by stimulating the proprioceptors in themuscles, tendons, articulations. To this theexternal and telereceptor stimulation is added.Neuro proprioceptive facilitating techniques aredivided according to the four stages of motorcontrol (namely mobility, stability, controlled251


stability and ability), to which the fundamentalones are added and the special ones with ageneral character.Occupational therapy is a nonmedicationtreatment with important role inrehabilitation and social and profes<strong>si</strong>onalreintegration of patients with functionaldisability. Occupational therapy is the art andscience of directing ill individuals towards theparticipation in cert<strong>ai</strong>n activities in order torestore, strengthen or improve the performancesthereof, in order to facilitate the as<strong>si</strong>milation ofthose abilities and functions that are necessaryfor adaptation and productivity and diminutionor correction of pathology, for m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning thestate of health.Phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise is the motion actconsciously and systematically repeated for thepurpose of increa<strong>si</strong>ng the biological potential ofhumans, expressed through the improvement ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal development, the increase of motorcapacity, the correction of phy<strong>si</strong>cal deficienciesand motor recovery.Hydro-kinetotherapy is the execution ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises in water; this is a methodthat uses pl<strong>ai</strong>n water, thermal water or seawater. Partial hydro-kinetotherapy is used witha view to increa<strong>si</strong>ng joint mobility by carryingout various types of movements (pas<strong>si</strong>ve,pas<strong>si</strong>ve-active, active) in warm water, whichgenerates muscle relaxation and p<strong>ai</strong>n relief. It isapplied into individual pools for partialimmer<strong>si</strong>on for the purpose of extremityrecovery;ResultsDuring the research we have seen anumber of common features in the mode of therecovery of the grips strength deficit in theexperimental group, and these features arepresented in the following. In all modern humancommunities cerebrovascular diseases havebecome a major health issue and survivorsthereof are severely marked and require careand long-term recovery.Motor deficit of the upper limb is moreoften that not severe during the first days after astroke. Spontaneous re-appearance of voluntarymotor functions of upper limb is gradual and forthe majority of people progress is achievedduring the first 3 months. Proximal motorfunctions are normally recovered sooner thanthe distal ones.In the upper limb the degree of motorfunction recovery achieved within 30 daysfollowing a stroke is a clinical predictive factorand it makes up the most precocious factor oflong-term prehen<strong>si</strong>on attitude. Thus the patientmay evolve towards one of the following 2cases: Low recovery, with deficient motorfunctions and spasms, preventing thehand from performing prehen<strong>si</strong>onmovement. Good recovery, with pos<strong>si</strong>bility ofperforming prehen<strong>si</strong>on movement.The precociousness of the programme isa fundamental issue <strong>si</strong>nce the post-le<strong>si</strong>oncerebral plasticity is maximum during the first 3months. The studie have shown that inten<strong>si</strong>vetr<strong>ai</strong>ning initiated during the first monthfollowing the accident manages to restore<strong>si</strong>gnificantly the capacity of upper limbs.Recovery process after stroke requires along period of time and effort in terms ofpatient and family and in terms of medical andparamedical personnel involved in the patientfunctional recovery.Functional evolution of the patients isdependent on a number of factors, which aredivided into two categories: Factors that can not be changed: age,severity of stroke, br<strong>ai</strong>n <strong>si</strong>ye of the areaaffected by stroke. Modifiable factors: precocity treatment,the con<strong>si</strong>stent application of therecovery program, complexity of theprogram.Final testing results have shown thatphy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy is the ba<strong>si</strong>s of therehabilitation program, on a person with poststroke sequelae.Exercise applied in the form of themedical gymnastics, determine a favourableevolution of the patient functional status; this isevidenced by observing and evaluating the testresults from the application of the researchconducted.Patients followed in the rehabilitationprogram, a program of phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapyassociated with phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy and medication,had a more rapid and efficient evolution,compared with patients who have undergonemedical treatment and only occa<strong>si</strong>onallyphy<strong>si</strong>otherapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons. After applying manualskills assessment questionn<strong>ai</strong>re, were recordeddata according to we can say that, patients inthe experimental group, who made the entirerecovery period phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy, saw animprovement of the self care capacity,becoming independent in terms of their capacityto perform d<strong>ai</strong>ly activities, leading to anincrease in quality of life of patients.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onsKinetic treatment is the key point in theprocess of recovery of the prehen<strong>si</strong>on motionafter stroke; it contributes to increa<strong>si</strong>ng thequality of life.252

Ghinea Cătălina MihaelaUniver<strong>si</strong>ty of Piteşti, Faculty of Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education and Sport, ROMANIAAbstract: According to World Health Organization, stroke is a major socio-medicalproblem, given that each year worldwide, 6 million people suffer a stroke. Stroke isa major cause of disability population: more than 80% of patients who survive aredisabled. Their clinical and functional evolution depends to a large extent and theclinical management of this disease. Rehabilitation after a stroke is an activeprocess by which people with disabilities get the best potential to achieve aphy<strong>si</strong>cally, mentally and socially. The recovery process is open to all persons whohave suffered a stroke and who have g<strong>ai</strong>ned from this disorder, a motor deficit moreor less serious.Phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy plays a key role in the recovery of stroke patients after theaccident, is based on a number of methods and techniques <strong>ai</strong>med at reducing thedeficit in the patient's functioning, increase independence and improve quality oflife.Key words: phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy, recovery, stroke.253


Scope of paperRegistration data, from the recoveryprocess, necessary during the aftermath ofstroke, and revealing the role ofphy<strong>si</strong>otherapy in this process of recovery.MethodsThis paper is based on a study,conducted through a questionn<strong>ai</strong>re, applied toa sample of 100 subjects, 38 women and 62men aged between 50 and 75 years, in ArgesCounty. Subjects were individuals whosuffered a stroke.The questionn<strong>ai</strong>re is de<strong>si</strong>gned tocollect data on the management of therecovery process and of the deficits afterstroke. Through this, we performed ananaly<strong>si</strong>s of recovery services offered topatients in hospital, in the acute phase ofstroke and while we gathered information onthe management of the recovery process afterdischarge from hospital.Name: Sex: Date of birth: Marital Status: Re<strong>si</strong>dence: urban /rural Diagno<strong>si</strong>s: Time of the stroke:The first four questions will be completed if the patient has previously suffered another stroke.

16. How important do you think is in the process of recovery of phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy after stroke? not important at all;  somewhat important;  important;  very important; essential in the recovery process17. You may use the services of a phy<strong>si</strong>otherapist if you need the recovery: yes;  no;  I do not know;ResultsWe found increased incidence ofischemic stroke for men aged between 50 and65 years and for women after age 65. 67 of thetotal lot of patients have had in the past or anischemic stroke or a tran<strong>si</strong>ent. 60% of thesepatients have suffered severe disabilities, so didnot need phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy and have recoveredslightly. 32% have suffered disabilitiesenvironments, but who needed phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapyfor a period of between 6 months and 1 year.And 8% have suffered ischemic strokes withmoderate deficit, needing phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy formore than a year but have recovered almostcompletely.Stroke causes a range of disabilities inboth upper limb and lower limb. The disabilitymay cause a greater or lesser degree ofdeformity of the hand and foot. Deformationsoccur because of imbalance between spastic andhypotonic muscles. Thus, this muscle imbalancebrings the hand and foot in po<strong>si</strong>tions which areoften debilitating. To prevent installation ofthose vicious str<strong>ai</strong>n or po<strong>si</strong>tion we must use aseries of ortho<strong>si</strong>s. However, at present, inRomania, these ortho<strong>si</strong>s for hand or foot are notoften used, even if these benefits are very high.Following the questionn<strong>ai</strong>re applied on thesample of 100 subjects, only a quarter ofrespondents used ortho<strong>si</strong>s for a period greater orless time in the recovery process.Evolution of patients with motor deficit,post stroke, depends in large measure thefrequency of phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons undertakenduring the recovery process. The phy<strong>si</strong>caltherapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons are more frequent as thepatient is better and progress faster recovery. Inthe hospital, the number of phy<strong>si</strong>otherapyses<strong>si</strong>ons is inversely proportional to the numberof patients requiring neurological recovery andthe small number of phy<strong>si</strong>otherapists working insuch departments. The data results from theapplication questionn<strong>ai</strong>re, has been shown thatphy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons varies from onemedical facility to another, depending on thenumber of staff for the service of neurologicalrecovery.Neurological recovery requires a largeperiod of time, so it is imminently necessary tocontinue phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy after discharge fromhospital. The recovery process must have acontinuity to achieve a vi<strong>si</strong>ble improvement asthe patient's functional status. Of the 100patients interviewed, 80 of them had indicationfor continued phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy after dischargefrom hospital. Indicated that 15 patientssuffered a minor stroke and did not requirerecovery, and 5 patients s<strong>ai</strong>d they had no furtherindication of phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy.The effectiveness of the recoveryprocess after stroke depends on accurate andefficient combination of multiple specialtiesthat lead ultimately to reduce motor deficit andincrea<strong>si</strong>ng the quality of life for patients. In theprocess of recovery phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy works withphy<strong>si</strong>otherapy, speech therapy and occupationaltherapy in order to address all the functionaldeficits in place and improve the patient'scondition.In terms of strict phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy,patients‘ preferences, for the place of meetings,are divided. The venue for these meetings,depend of the financial <strong>si</strong>tuation of the patient.Cost recovery in private centers, are muchhigher compared to the costs of recovery inclinics or hospitals. Advantages of privaterecovery centers are those that are of highquality services and at the same time it offers aninterdisciplinary approach to the process ofrecovery after stroke. This interdisciplinaryapproach occurs because private centers canbenefit from phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy, massage andoccupational therapy.Figure 1 Where did you / do phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy:therapy, 32%therapy, 8%therapy, 10%therapy, 20%therapy, 30%homeclinicprivate clinichospitalnone255


Another trend in the recovery process isto carry out phy<strong>si</strong>otherapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons at homepatient. Thus it should not longer move toanother location, phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy ses<strong>si</strong>on istaking place in a friendly and homelyatmosphere.Phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy is a form ofindividualized therapy that, based on static anddynamic exercise programs can be used intherapeutic and rehabilitation programs. Its rolein neurological recovery is essential; this can beseen in the last two questions the answers to thequestionn<strong>ai</strong>re.Figure 2 How important do you think phy<strong>si</strong>cal therapy is in the recovery process?1%5%20%50%24%not important important essentialslightly important very importantConclu<strong>si</strong>onsKinetic treatment is the key point in theprocess of recovery after stroke; it contributesto increa<strong>si</strong>ng the chances of survival andincreased quality of life. This treatment isstarted early during hospitalization and inparticular the acute phase of disease andcontinues after discharge from hospital.Because of the complex functionaldeficit, the recovery process requires aninterdisciplinary approach, over a long period oftime, with an increased frequency of phy<strong>si</strong>caltherapy ses<strong>si</strong>ons, with the participation of boththe subject and the family in achieving goals.Bibliography1.

Accidentul vascular cerebral este ocauză majoră a invalidităţii populaţiei: m<strong>ai</strong> mult de80% din pacienţii care supravieţuiesc devin persoanecu dizabilităţi.Evoluţia lor clinică şi funcţională depinde înmare măsură şi de managementul clinic al acesteiafecţiuni. Reabilitarea după un accident vascularcerebral este un proces activ, prin care persoanelecu dizabilităţi, obţin atingerea unui potenţial optimdin punct de vedere fizic, mental şi social.256


Kinetoterapia are un rol esenţial înrecuperarea pacienţilor după producereaaccidentului vascular cerebral; se bazează pe o seriede metode şi tehnici care au ca scop diminuareadeficitului funcţional al pacientului, creştere<strong>ai</strong>ndependenţei şi îmbunătăţirea calităţii vieţiiacestuia.Scopul lucrării a fost acela de a înregistradate referitoare la procesul de recuperare, necesar înperioada după producerea accidentului vascularcerebral, şi de a evidenţie rolul pe care îl arekinetoterapia în cadrul acestui proces de recuperare.Acest lucru s-a realizat prin intermediul unuichestionar, aplicat pe un eşantion de 100 de subiecţi,chestionar conceput în scopul colectării unor date cuprivire la managementul procesului de recuperare, aldeficitelor post accident vascular cerebral. Prinintermediul acestuia am realizat o analiză aserviciilor de recuperare, oferite pacienţilor în cadrulspitalului, în faza acută a accidentului vascularcerebral şi în acelaşi timp am adunat informaţii cuprivire la managementul procesului de recuperaredupă externarea din spital.RESEARCH ON THE LEVEL OF DISABLED STUDENTS‟ MOTORCAPACITYAssoc. Dr. Marian Durbăcea-BolovanUniver<strong>si</strong>ty "Constantin Brancu<strong>si</strong>" Tg-JiuAbstract: The paper <strong>si</strong>gnals a reality for public schools regarding the attendance ofthe pupils with special needs to Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education classes. The majority does notattend these classes because there is not a special counselor to support them asthere is for other subjects. More than that, the curriculum is not adapted to pupilswith phy<strong>si</strong>cal disabilities.The research was made on a group of 80 students with special needs. The studyrevealed a po<strong>si</strong>tive evolution of their motor ability. Even though the improvementwas low, it is enough to motivate the students to attend the P.E. classes together withtheir peers with normal phy<strong>si</strong>cal evolution. The morpho-phy<strong>si</strong>ologicalcharacteristics of these children urge the neces<strong>si</strong>ty for an adapted curriculum. Apartfrom improving their phy<strong>si</strong>ological level, a distinctive curriculum will avoidmarginalization and will work for a better social integration of the students withspecial needs. Getting them involved in phy<strong>si</strong>cal activities leads to building teamand competing spirit, important characteristics for integrating these children andavoids the risk of social f<strong>ai</strong>lure.In conclu<strong>si</strong>on, practicing phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercises is a real benefit, especially for thestudents with phy<strong>si</strong>cal disabilities.Key words: motor capacity, disability, special needs, improvement.IntroductionNowadays, there is the tendency toremove the disabled students from specialinstitutions and to integrate them in normalschool as younger as pos<strong>si</strong>ble. There are moreand more students with disabilities in publicschools, whose integration is an urgent priority.For the subjects that are con<strong>si</strong>dered of uttermostimportance, such as Romanian andMathematics, there is a special counselor thatoffers additional help to the teachers. The othersubjects are viewed as less important and amongthem there is Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education. This work<strong>ai</strong>ms to reveal the importance of phy<strong>si</strong>calexercise for students with special needs. Ittargets to finding the means for these childrento attend Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education classes. Its goal isto <strong>si</strong>gnal the officials involved in education onthe po<strong>si</strong>tive influence that phy<strong>si</strong>cal activitieshave on the improvement of disabled students‘motor capacity.Hypothe<strong>si</strong>s or alternative hypothe<strong>si</strong><strong>si</strong>n describing the experimental variablesThe research revealed that there iscert<strong>ai</strong>n a po<strong>si</strong>tive evolution of motor capacityfor students with special needs that practiceregularly. That means it is important to find theways to integrate these students within thePhy<strong>si</strong>cal Education classes.The research has monitored theevolution of different motor abilities such us:speed, strength and skill for students withspecial needs.The data were taken by specificmeasurements at the beginning and the end ofthe school year 2009/2010.Subjects, methods, procedureThe students chosen to take part in theresearch attend ―The Inclu<strong>si</strong>ve Education257

The methods used in theexperiment were: Gathering documentary evidence fromspecialized literature about motor capacity; Investigating motor capacity by meansof specific tests (speed running on 50 meters,standing jump, throwing ―oina‖ ball from astanding po<strong>si</strong>tion, ―Marotin‖ test stretching thebody from lying on a ventral po<strong>si</strong>tion, ri<strong>si</strong>ng thebody from lying on the back.Statistical method that used <strong>si</strong>mpleconcepts such as: arithmetical mean (X),amplitude (A), standard deviation (S), thevariability value (Cv).The research was made on 80 students,boys and girls, equal in number for eachsecondary level. The activities were chosenaccording to the curriculum for this type ofschool. The former data were the results of theactivities organized according to the planning.ResultsThe measurements revealed thefollowing results:258

The meaning of the resultsSpeed runningThe results revealed that all groups ofstudents have progressed during the experiment.The variability value shows that they haveevolved towards higher homogeneity.Standing jumpAt this test the results were very clearbut they underestimated the values for childrenwithout special needs. The groups of childrenare relatively homogenous.Throwing ―oina‖ ball from a standingpo<strong>si</strong>tionExcept for one group of students, thereresulted a high evolution. The data alsorevealed a relatively homogeneity of thestudents involved in the experiment.Ri<strong>si</strong>ng the body upwards from lying onthe back.Concerning this value, the resultsshowed a po<strong>si</strong>tive evolution, although theslightest of all the values tested during theexperiment.Stretching the body from lying on aventral po<strong>si</strong>tionThis value has evolved in the samemanner as the one above showing the same lackof homogeneity.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onAnalyzing the evolution of motorcapacity values, there can be noticed animprovement in the final results comparing tothe initial tests. Even though the progress islow, the improvement is notable taking intoaccount the distinctive characteristics of thestudents involved in the experiment.The students‘ progress rises theneces<strong>si</strong>ty that the students with special need<strong>si</strong>nvolved in public schools should attend thePhy<strong>si</strong>cal Education classes. The first step to bedone is to adapt the curriculum in accordancewith the neces<strong>si</strong>ties of the target group.Bibliography1.

Moroşanu MagdalenaMedic dr. Ichim PaulFEFS, Univer<strong>si</strong>ty ―Dunarea de Jos‖, GalatiAbstract: Children involved in sports should be encouraged to participate in avariety of different activities and develop a wide range of skills. Young athletes whospecialize in just one sport may be denied the benefits of varied activity while facingadditional phy<strong>si</strong>cal, phy<strong>si</strong>ologic, and psychologic demands from intense tr<strong>ai</strong>ning andcompetition.This statement reviews the potential risks of high-inten<strong>si</strong>ty tr<strong>ai</strong>ning and sportsspecialization in young athletes. Pediatricians who recognize these risks can have akey role in monitoring the health of these young athletes and helping reduce risksassociated with high-level sports participation.There appear to be increa<strong>si</strong>ng numbers of children who specialize in a sport at anearly age, tr<strong>ai</strong>n year-round for a sport, and/or compete on an "elite" level. Mediacoverage of national and international competition in sports such as gymnastics,figure skating, swimming, diving, and tennis has focused attention on a number ofvery talented but very young competitors. The successes of young athletes can serveas a powerful inducement for others to follow. Most Olympic sports have selectionprocesses that attempt to identify future champions and initiate specializedtr<strong>ai</strong>ning often before the prospect finishes elementary school. The lure of a collegescholarship or a profes<strong>si</strong>onal career can also motivate athletes (and their parents)to commit to specialized tr<strong>ai</strong>ning regimens at an early age. The low probability ofreaching these lofty goals does not appear to discourage many aspirants.To be competitive at a high level requires tr<strong>ai</strong>ning regimens for children that couldbe con<strong>si</strong>dered extreme even for adults. The ever-increa<strong>si</strong>ng requirements for successcreates a constant pressure for athletes to tr<strong>ai</strong>n longer, harder, more intelligently,and, in some cases, at an earlier age. The unending efforts to outdo predecessorsand outperform contemporaries are the nature of competitive sports. The necessarycommitment and inten<strong>si</strong>ty of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning r<strong>ai</strong>ses concerns about the sen<strong>si</strong>bility and safetyof high-level athletics for any young person.


Adverse consequences from intense tr<strong>ai</strong>ning and competition have been reported inthe lay and medical literature. Many pediatricians can cite examples of unde<strong>si</strong>rableoutcomes from sports participation involving patients in their own practices.Unfortunately, anecdotal reports and case studies are insufficient grounds fordrawing conclu<strong>si</strong>ons about the safety of intense tr<strong>ai</strong>ning or high-level competition.The short-term and long-term health consequences of such tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in youngathletes need to be further investigated. Phy<strong>si</strong>cal, phy<strong>si</strong>ologic, and psychologictolerances to stress in children have been studied in laboratory settings and can bedefined by observing the threshold for injury in clinical settings. Unfortunately, thi<strong>si</strong>nformation is difficult to directly apply to the specific clinical scenarios of concernto the pediatrician. Studying the risks of "specialized," "intensely tr<strong>ai</strong>ned," or "elite"athletes is hampered by the lack of clear definitions of these at-risk populations.Even if a study group could be defined, the level of variation between sports,individuals, and tr<strong>ai</strong>ning regimens creates further methodologic challenges forinvestigators.Despite recognized inadequacies of current information, pediatricians can still helpsafeguard their young athletic patients by being aware of potential problemsassociated with intense tr<strong>ai</strong>ning. Because pediatricians serve as the primary medicalcontact for most young athletes, they may have the best opportunity to recognize,treat, and monitor injuries or illnesses resulting from strenuous tr<strong>ai</strong>ning. To respondto parental concerns and to more effectively monitor the child athlete engaged ininten<strong>si</strong>ve tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, increased awareness of the following issues is suggested.Keywords: nutrition, sport, athletic performance .NutritionProper nutrition is critical for both goodhealth and optimal sports performance. Forchild athletes, an adequate diet is criticalbecause nutritional needs are increased by bothtr<strong>ai</strong>ning and the growth process. Young athletesand their parents are frequently unaware of theappropriate components of a tr<strong>ai</strong>ning diet. Thefollowing 4 areas are of particular concern.Total Caloric IntakeAthletic tr<strong>ai</strong>ning creates a need forincreased caloric intake, and requirementsrelative to body <strong>si</strong>ze are higher in growingchildren and adolescents than at any other timein life. In child athletes, the energy intake mustbe increased beyond the needs of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning tom<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>n adequate growth. Children who engagein sports in which slenderness is con<strong>si</strong>deredimportant for optimizing performance (ie,gymnastics, ballet dancing) may be at risk forcompromi<strong>si</strong>ng their growth. A risk forpathologic eating behaviors also may beincreased in children participating in sportswhere leanness is rewarded.Balanced DietBalance, moderation, and a variety offood choices should be promoted. The FoodGuide Pyramid can be used to plan a diet that isbalanced and provides sufficient nutrients andcalories for both growth and tr<strong>ai</strong>ning needs.Athletes who focus on particular dietaryconstituents (such as carbohydrates) at theexpense of a well-rounded diet may potentiallycompromise their performance as well as theirhealth.IronThe body's requirement for iron is greaterduring the growing years than at any other timein life. Adequate iron stores are important to theathlete to provide adequate oxygen transport(hemoglobin), muscle aerobic metabolism(Krebs' cycle enzymes), and cognitive function.However, athletes often avoid eating red meatand other iron-cont<strong>ai</strong>ning foods. Moreover,sports tr<strong>ai</strong>ning itself may increase body ironlosses.CalciumInadequate calcium intake is common inathletes, presumably because of their concernabout the fat content in d<strong>ai</strong>ry foods. Normalbone growth, and pos<strong>si</strong>bly, prevention andhealing of stress fractures, are contingent onsufficient dietary calcium.References1.

BODY LANGUAGE"Mircea NeamţuDana PîrvulescuTran<strong>si</strong>lvania Univer<strong>si</strong>ty of BrasovSummary: The paper mentions aspects of dance as an expres<strong>si</strong>on of life, as well asdance as a language and the secrets of body language. By u<strong>si</strong>ng ‖Drama andEcstasy‖ in dance in forming and shaping students one may obt<strong>ai</strong>n a new means ofexpres<strong>si</strong>on—nonverbal, through body language—going beyond one’s limits in aplastic manner.The use of metaphorical phrases improves the comprehen<strong>si</strong>on and expres<strong>si</strong>onprocess manifested by movement. It is a preparation process for the complexmodelling of the phy<strong>si</strong>cal and mental part which makes up a well-defined and strongpersonality in students. It has a tremendous influence on the young students’personality, giving them self-confidence. Dance serves as a m<strong>ai</strong>n means of educationin school.Dance is a much ea<strong>si</strong>er and efficient means of educating students. Dance hasevolved based on imagination, spirit, feeling, knowledge, realism. In dance, theBody is subject to the Idea, while choreography is a speech. Dance involves totalcommitment, expres<strong>si</strong>vity in the movement of the body, and the limbs.Metaphorically speaking, art has the role of transporting us from the material tothe spiritual. In dance the metaphor of drama and ecstasy are used in order to givemeaning to our emotions. Metaphor <strong>ai</strong>ds in knowing our own individuality, itdevelops emotion and self-awareness. The paper presents issues on the socalled‖magicof the ecstasy and drama‖ and their manner of use. The importantdance functions, the role of dance in our d<strong>ai</strong>ly lives, the need to dance and thesecrets of body language are m<strong>ai</strong>n aspects.Key words: Drama in Dance, Spiritual Anxiety, stress, confu<strong>si</strong>on, desp<strong>ai</strong>r;Ecstasy in Dance, smile, joy, expres<strong>si</strong>vity, explo<strong>si</strong>on, life, happiness, flight.Dance, the expres<strong>si</strong>on of life, the needto unwind"Dance is Geometry", of the shape weachieve by u<strong>si</strong>ng the parts of our body. It is ameans of expres<strong>si</strong>ng feelings, emotions, andstates. It is a manner of living and expres<strong>si</strong>ngoneself. Dance is a means of expres<strong>si</strong>ng life.The dance of nature, the dance of ourbodies, which means motion. Motion is energy,and energy is life. Dance creates emotion,allows the free flow of feelings. It meanscourage, love of space, a wish for flight, forliberty. It endows the body with grace, beauty,femininity, health. The Choreographic cultureshould be seen as part of our spiritual culture.As any other art, the art of dance reflects theworld as its form as an artistic image, thespecific element being that human feelings,thoughts, moods may be transmitted throughmovements, gestures, facial expres<strong>si</strong>ons.Through the corporal movements of thedance man may express both outer beauty—thephy<strong>si</strong>cal <strong>si</strong>de of art, and inner beauty—thespiritual <strong>si</strong>de of art. The Language of dance264


disposes of the force of expres<strong>si</strong>ng feelings andemotions, living life with heightened <strong>si</strong>ncerityand accuracy. The idea of dance was born fromthe need of expres<strong>si</strong>ng the rhythm of this life.Through movements coordinated with a cert<strong>ai</strong>nrhythm, a wide range of feelings may beexpressed: from sadness to joy, from jealousy tolove, from fury to happiness, from Drama toEcstasy.Drama in DanceThis is the story of a real world, thestory of a victim, witnessed by many onlookers.It is not at all a ―Japanese Spring‖ with flowersand butterflies, but a wild Rus<strong>si</strong>an one, withhowling splitting earth, the premonition of aterrible change: anxiety, stress, everythingsurrounded by a spiritual unrest, the wholemankind seems overwhelmed by confu<strong>si</strong>on anddesp<strong>ai</strong>r.The end does not appear unde<strong>si</strong>rable,and the thought that all comes to an end comesas a solace. As the topic is cruel, but ba<strong>si</strong>c, it iseasy to realize that this is the manner in whichArt has the mis<strong>si</strong>on to transport us from thematerial into the spiritual, here the dancer‘sbody representing the victim. In the many formsof dance, the drama theme is represented bymovements of contraction, squats, bends,violent lunges, twisted movements, droopingarms, heavy feet, difficult walking, heavybreathing, sad, depressed look, rolling on theground, slow movements supported by thepartner, encountered in dances such as:choreographic fantasy, contemporary dance,thematic dance, clas<strong>si</strong>c dance, etc.The dance on a dramatic theme hasevolved, starting from feeling, pas<strong>si</strong>on, totalcommitment, expres<strong>si</strong>vity; the movements ofthe body, arms, and legs form a broken but fluidline. The choreography is full of pas<strong>si</strong>on,knowledge, imagination, fantasy, spirit, realism,explo<strong>si</strong>on, and outburst. There areimprovisations on the topic of balance, and theuse of the floor, not only as a support point, butalso as an element suffu<strong>si</strong>ng the dance withenergy.High performance dramatic dance is agenre well liked by spectators, as if offers a lifelesson and has always a message to convey. It isa plastic form of representing drama and a morereception-prone manner of acquiring the lifelesson presented. It prefers loose, <strong>si</strong>mple, dullcoloured,extremely expres<strong>si</strong>ve costumes tosophisticated ones.Essentially , dance has always been a‖sum of natural gestures‘ coming from our innerself, a means of expres<strong>si</strong>on, which is used<strong>si</strong>ncerely and gracefully, of the various states ofthe soul: sadness, depres<strong>si</strong>on, fury, p<strong>ai</strong>n,constr<strong>ai</strong>ned obedience, inner drama, hope, v<strong>ai</strong>nhope, pr<strong>ai</strong>se., worship. In dance, the body issubject to idea, tending towards the perfectlygeometrical line, circle, semicircle, ellip<strong>si</strong>s orbroken line.Dramatic dance, making use of wellrehearsed movements, included in a preciseform, evinces the diver<strong>si</strong>ty and profoundness ofinner states. This genre uses lots of mimicry,harmoniously combining ballet with rhythmicand plastic movements, openly expres<strong>si</strong>ng thefeelings encountered in d<strong>ai</strong>ly life, as life itselfis p<strong>ai</strong>n, suffering, torment, but also flow,transformation, transfiguration.In the dance on a dramatic theme, thedegree of complexity increases, being pos<strong>si</strong>bleto include more parts. For instance, an initialpart may be entitled‖I am the Body and SoulPoet‖, and a second part may be‖I leave myselfas a heritage to the ground, to r<strong>ai</strong>se from thegrass I love, and if you want to find me, lookunder your feet‖. It is a game of life and death,an intertwining of arts, dance, poetry and mu<strong>si</strong>c.It cont<strong>ai</strong>ns superb moments of ten<strong>si</strong>on, createdby wild athletic ability, gestures requiringmaximum concentration from the dancers andpowerful emotions from the audience. It <strong>ai</strong>ms atrepresenting Grace as a virtue. It is a dance thatrises up the audience, serving as a means ofnon-verbal communication.It may also be seen as an analogy, as itembodies a manner of empowering the dance—the power of communication. Otherwise, itwould be just a series of random movements.Thus, it carries the same emotional power andmeaning as a word. Each dance movementsymbolises something specific, and it maysuggest a feeling, a manner of perceivingreality, always having a tremendous impact.One should always bear in mind the fact thatcert<strong>ai</strong>n movements have a cert<strong>ai</strong>n connotationand cultural context, just like minding some ofthe words uttered. So, choreography may becon<strong>si</strong>dered a speech.To further the analogy, dance uses such―words‖, combined to create ―sentences‖,―paragraphs‖, and on the whole, an entire―story‖.If a bunch of ―words-movements‖ aredrawn together, without thinking about themcarefully, the result is either a set of states, ornonsense. Dramatic dance is a way ofcommunication.The metaphor dance=language may befurthered by comparing the diver<strong>si</strong>ty in speechto the variety we find in dance. In the case ofdramatic dance, movements are diver<strong>si</strong>fiedaccording to inner states by changing therhythm, speed, direction, difficulty, quality, viz.fluid, undulating, or marked movements. Danceis embellished by the expres<strong>si</strong>vity of the head,265


limbs movements or by enriching the ba<strong>si</strong>cmovements.Dance is non-verbal communication,not a random sequence of movements. If thesame concepts are applied in speech anddramatic dance, the communication capacity i<strong>si</strong>mproved. The dance will therefore be moresuggestive and forceful, as it acquires the powerto communicate. Dramatic dance represents thecomprehen<strong>si</strong>on of nature and life, a profoundspiritual pathway leading to self-knowledge. Inorder to dance in this manner, the dancer hasfirst and foremost to know himself, thusevincing the spiritual dimen<strong>si</strong>on of theperformance. An effective way of bringingawareness to the denser parts of the body is toallow the more open parts to teach the lessconscious ones.When the dancer‘s face is devoid ofplastic expres<strong>si</strong>on, despite the beauty of hisgestures, it means that he is blocking hisemotions. Thus, dancers have to develop theirdeficient parts, improve their skills andespecially release their emotions. They shoulddance in accordance with the need for emotionsto show in their performance. A quality typicalof dancers guiding them on their artistic andspiritual pathway is the ability to be selfconscious,<strong>si</strong>tuating them in the presentmoment.This is the wish coming from the heart,<strong>ai</strong>med at embracing truth and pas<strong>si</strong>on. Itsartistic sen<strong>si</strong>tivity, costumes, mu<strong>si</strong>c,movements, the dance theme are all expressedthrough its unique archetype, touching universalinner depth in the audience. An extraordinarydancer generates a wonderful and necessarycollective healing. The dancer‘s commitment toperform at high standards and quality and puton a good show will allow the successfulrepresentations leading in their turn to realgreatness on stage. During a stage show, a realdancer manages to reunite all aspects into oneintegrated form. His artistic sen<strong>si</strong>tivity, themovements and the dance in its entirety touchesthe audience‘s feelings and states of mind andsoul, connecting po<strong>si</strong>tively and transformingthose around.The Secrets of Body LanguageThe m<strong>ai</strong>n principles in body languagewill allow the dancer to impress the audience. Itis about his appearing as an open, po<strong>si</strong>tive andattentive individual. The dancer communicateswith the audience in a perfect manner, as notthe voice, but the body is the real speaker!Ecstasy in DanceOnce upon a time, the wonderfulSamba, the Dance of Ecstasy, was discovered inBrazil, meaning thanking prayer, invoking God.African rhythms were as<strong>si</strong>milated into the Latinmu<strong>si</strong>c, with the same original purpose, viz.invoking various deities. The Greeks refineddances and later the Romans took them over andchanged them, adding leaps and acrobatics.The woman, in her beauty, charm andrefinement, has always known how to use andenhance dance movements. Older people stillremember Ginger Rogers and Fred Ast<strong>ai</strong>re,dancers able to blow the audiences away at thebeginning of the 20th century. In the largenumber of dance forms, the thee of ecstasy isrepresented by energetic movements, expressedby exten<strong>si</strong>ons, leaps, twirls, rapid movements atthe floor level, acrobatics with the help of thepartner, which appear in acrobatic artisticdances, modern dances, cheerleading-typedances, energetic rhythm dances in the sportinggenres like rock‘s roll, jive, samba, paso doble,mu<strong>si</strong>cals. The choreography is full of energyand life.The dance of ecstasy prefers complex,festive, brightly coloured costumes. It increasedits pace, becoming much faster, a sort of aphy<strong>si</strong>cal tr<strong>ai</strong>ning with many acrobatic elementssuggesting the idea of flight, able to improveblood flow, increased breathing capacity andfortifying the entire muscle structure.Essentially, dance has always been a sum ofnatural gestures, expres<strong>si</strong>ng the various statesand emotions in our soul, which is to be usedharmoniously and gracefully. The danceincluding techni8cal well prepared movementsevinces the body‘s joy and energy.The Functions of DanceHere are a couple of the dancefunctions: harmonious development, therapeuticfunction, entert<strong>ai</strong>nment, educational and artisticfunction, psychological function, andsocialisation. The most important is obviouslythe educational and artistic one, as it changesconceptions, brings emotions to the surface,poses problems, gives rise to emotions andconflicts, ending in changing people and evensocieties.The Artistic, Educational FunctionDance serves many functions in d<strong>ai</strong>lylife. Dance as an artistic form may be verypowerful, sometimes brutal, dramatic, or mildand soft. It may change, bringing awareness topersonal or social issues. Art <strong>ai</strong>ms at r<strong>ai</strong><strong>si</strong>ngawareness on aspects that have been forgotten,or merely ignored. They are shown under adifferent form, The „Art of Metaphor‖, withexpres<strong>si</strong>ng modalities, a form able to producechanges in the audience.The Sociali<strong>si</strong>ng FunctionMore often than not dance is a pretextto come into contact with various people inorder to make acqu<strong>ai</strong>ntances, establishrelationships, and socialize. Essentially, through266


dance communication is achieved in an intimateand personal manner, and very often in anunmediated conscious manner.Bibliography1. BĂNCIULESCU, V. Mică enciclopedie, Sport-Turism, Bucharest, 1981,2.

education in the twenty-first century):- Learning to know (knowledgeacqui<strong>si</strong>tion tools);- Learning to do (working with theenvironment);- Learning to live together with others(cooperating with others);- Learning to be (resulting from thefirst three).Concepts of Education1. Formal education includes all theintentional and systematic influences, developedwithin schools, for tr<strong>ai</strong>ning and personalitydevelopment.2. Non-formal education, formativeinfluences recovered after step out<strong>si</strong>de andschooling (family, peer, youth institutions andorganizations).3. Informal education includes all theinfluences of unintended and not organizedthrough the experience of life throughparticipation in cultural life, facing theindividual.Education - the key determinant ofdevelopment p<strong>si</strong>hoindividualeEtymologically, the word "education"(from educo, education) is to r<strong>ai</strong>se, tr<strong>ai</strong>n, etc. toform. Education involves removing individual"state of nature" and insert "the state ofculture."Education is a specialized activity,specifically human, deliberately supportingdevelopment.Education is an organized form,<strong>si</strong>tematică and continuous tr<strong>ai</strong>ning of humanpersonality, education, optimizing, if pos<strong>si</strong>ble,the relationship heredity - environment.Education creates the conditionsconducive to domestic action conducive tocert<strong>ai</strong>n external factors, the formation ofpersonality is both a result of educationalactivity and to conduct its premise.Personality development is achievedthrough continuous education, continuousteaching communication and teaching.Information field calls for new benefitsand the performance of contemporary educatorsand tr<strong>ai</strong>nees alike.Teaching communication is a transfer ofinformation in the context of the educationalprocess.Teaching Communication involves aninteraction type feedback - retroacţiunea.Educational message is the result ofthree sub-<strong>si</strong>gns: verbal and nonverbal para.Minutes subsystem (communicationteaching) occupies a central place in teachingknowledgeverification. Verbal language arejust not a function of communication, but afunction call and an expres<strong>si</strong>ve function(destination-oriented). Verbal language is thelanguage developed with words.The teacher-student dialogue and otherresorts are communication that can conveyinformation content, making court expres<strong>si</strong>vedialogues, modeling, to involve affected bothissuers (teachers) and receivers (students) -Action stimulus / response. Para language is aform of non-verbal language, a form representedby the tone and inflection of voice, rhythm ofspeech, way of empha<strong>si</strong>zing the word, thebreaks between words, verbal tics.Teacher-student dialogue through thechannel widens and nonverbal (nonverbalsubsystem), ie, visual message, phy<strong>si</strong>calposture, gestures or facial phy<strong>si</strong>ognomyeducator can arouse intellectual or emotionalreverberations on students.Communication encompasses thedidactic and pedagogic information flows(verbal, nonverbal, para), Profilandpluridirecţional speech, and multi multivocal.The outcome approach indersciplinaritate /inter-dom<strong>ai</strong>n studied.Optimizing communication is the resultof two cerebral hemispheres (emisfericitatea).Sensory-motor functions (motility, sen<strong>si</strong>tivity,hand movements, leg movements, eyemovements) are controlled by each hemisphere(right, left) directly and vice versa (crossover).Each hemisphere reverse order half herbody with the same functions and the sameroles, which is not the case with language,thought so.The left hemisphere is related tolanguage, words, figures, analy<strong>si</strong>s andabstraction ability, dependence on time (care toproceed methodically).Right hemisphere has specific features,spatial thinking and the ability to see abstract.Her arrangements are non-verbal expres<strong>si</strong>on.Imagination and intuition are itsdominant features, for which office is heldartistic and mu<strong>si</strong>cal competence. Intuitiveapproach is the oppo<strong>si</strong>te of rational. Theoperation is based on the association of ideas,interactive approach, the synthe<strong>si</strong>s of relationsbetween objects, to reconstruct the informationinto a coherent whole.The two hemispheres on the one handand oppo<strong>si</strong>ng on the other hand is completed268


The left hemisphereMinutes - use words to name, describe, defineAnalytical - discover things step by step, item byitemAbstract - extract information u<strong>si</strong>ng it to representallTeachers must pay attention to thecommunicative act, and start providing student<strong>si</strong>nstrumentalization of discourse strategies sothat they will be able to notice, understand andprioritize the information received in differentways and to form an information competency,premise that learning is effective.Education in today's society - Neweducation1. Environmental education -environmental respon<strong>si</strong>bility and its problems.2. Economic education - acquiringconsciousness of direct participation in theeconomic development of society and economicconduct.3.

The de<strong>si</strong>re to improve health andadaptive capacity through exercise, withoutknowing to know their actual capabilities, oftenleads to incompatibility effort - systems andfunctions. Body differs from the untr<strong>ai</strong>nedtr<strong>ai</strong>ned through a cheaper phy<strong>si</strong>ologicalfunctioning both at rest and at moderatephy<strong>si</strong>cal demands. Improving long-termadaptation is achieved only under conditions ofconstant requests from long-term exercise.Small steps are taken under a consumersociety to bring sporting activity to the rank of"Sports for All", ie health sport and recreation,to find the best offers programs both at schooland in adults, which <strong>ai</strong>m towards increa<strong>si</strong>ngaffluence of young people to freely practice asport or institutionalized.In the context of new education,requires the differentiation of information takenfrom newspapers and spoken, especially giventhe students information on the Internet.

It will present someaspects Running practice in England beginning in the Middle Ages.Keywords: running, exercise, research, history, etc.English History in the field of phy<strong>si</strong>calculture, Peter Lovesey, in his work we presentfurther foray into athletics history in England,very interested and informed especially inregard to history clubs.We find from the diary of Samuel Pepysshowing unusual interest in things from a royalrace of 1663. We do not know whether KingCharles II had ever practiced athletics - theconventional type - but the answer is po<strong>si</strong>tive interms of some of its predecessors. Thus it iss<strong>ai</strong>d that Henry V surpassed in running a deer,and Henry VIII, before the marathon morning,used his strength in throwing the hammer,weight, and jumping in the race to cross. Thenobles of Stuart and Tudor times is dominatedwanted to be regarded as first tier athletes.There is documentary evidence that Sir PhilipSidney (1554-1586), who this male ideal of theElizabethan era was the best at cross countryand jumping. About the first Duke ofBuckingham (1592-1628), the favorite of JacobI's court, saying that "no other man to run orjump better", and about James Scott, Duke ofMonmouth (1649 -1685), pretender to thethrone, he "won the cross country racing shoesto boots, from nimble runners wear shoes."According to the testimony ofVenerable Bede, England came from athleticssec. VII, when St. Cuthbert (634-687) wasunbeatable in the vault, running and wrestling.Following centuries are rich in data on specialracing tracks held on the field or on open land.In England there were two strong but separatetraditions regarding phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise, namely:representatives of classes made up practicing"manly exercises, while ordinary peoplecompeting to be amused in rural sportscompetitions.272


People con<strong>si</strong>dered athletes as a form ofrelaxation after the religious ceremonies of theholidays, or settlement, small towns. Running,jumping and throwing the weight, along withdances, wrestling and football <strong>si</strong>nce the MiddleAges were regarded as popular forms ofentert<strong>ai</strong>nment. Men and women, old and youngcompete for prizes in general had a practicalnature - the usual shirts, thick linen shirts, hats,different kinds of cheese and hunk of meat. Andsometimes the prizes were more con<strong>si</strong>stent.Addison, writing in "The Spectator" aboutsports competitions in the region of Bath, fromthe eighteenth century, stated that "as a percompetitorwas lucky to win here and amistress," 'and that' s very normal for a slim andsmart girl or herself and the country to earnboth a husband and a thick linen shirt. " Despiteactions to suppress the entert<strong>ai</strong>nment andgames, King Edward III, alarmed that freepeasants neglected British archery, throwing theweight of smoking, and at a cert<strong>ai</strong>n time thePuritans had banned "all sports and publicentert<strong>ai</strong>nment" , but nevertheless somefestivities continued. Most f<strong>ai</strong>rs have gone inthe first quarter of the nineteenth century. Theirtraditional place in many cities in the timing ofthe Easter races held in the summer months wastaken from athletic competitions.Races were as prizes in burlap shirts andvarious cheeses. This does not present any kindof interest but made up for the classrepresentatives. They would be much moremotivated to practice athletics. It was a kind ofpreparation for life. In his crucial role ineducating the ruling classes "The Boke Namedthe Governour" (1531) Sir Thomas Elyotcon<strong>si</strong>dered running, jumping and throwing inthe year to be part of every gentlemannecessary. Moreover, he argued that the jog is"both a great year and a commendable form ofrelaxation, a feeling we experience everyrunner. This message has been receivedenthu<strong>si</strong>astically in at least one public school.Richard Mulcaster, the first director of theMerchant Taylor's School, devoted <strong>si</strong>x chaptersof the book "po<strong>si</strong>tions" (1581) athleticism.Unfortunately, representatives of theseventeenth and eighteenth century were les<strong>si</strong>nterested in the practice races. In most cases,sport in schools has been m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ned moreamateur than specialists. Only the 1834 horseracing barriers at Rugby, where in 1837 it saysthat Crick Run was con<strong>si</strong>dered the winner, wasthe year which have been officially declaredEtton running races over the fence. Inuniver<strong>si</strong>ties, and less progress was evident.Only in 1850 was established the first annualtournament at Exeter College at Oxford.But do not neglect athletics wealthyclasses. They organized private competitionsrunning, as described by Pepys. Crosses, wellknown among those who ran gambling, werepromoted and patronized by the gentry, wheretheir subjects are among the competitors. Thosewho ensured the century. XVII messagingbetween rural and urban areas were profes<strong>si</strong>onalrunners. They proved to be more swift and moreconfident than forecast due diligence.Defending ag<strong>ai</strong>nst them by their masters whowere attacking them or ag<strong>ai</strong>nst those whoprocl<strong>ai</strong>med themselves runners. When thequality of roads has increased, they had otherduties, in the mid eighteenth century crosscountry races were part of the sport even more,there were runners earned their living throughthe cross.In the early nineteenth centuryaristocracy no longer control the cross races.There were runners who were denied theiremployers withdrew from this activity. Replicaruling classes was the participation andorganization of their own race. Thus, a Scottishlandowner, Robert Barclay Allard, later knownas the Capt<strong>ai</strong>n Barclay, bet a thousand guineasthat is able to pass 90 miles 21h1 / 2. It hashowever lost and lost. Fire tenacious, hedoubled the prize and he has given a chance. Helost ag<strong>ai</strong>n. Barclay who represented him did nothe<strong>si</strong>tate to increase your bet to 5000 guineas,while Barclay has not proved to be so shaped a<strong>si</strong>t seems. On November 10, 1801, he addedanother hour race, and this encouraged him tosupport the race. He obt<strong>ai</strong>ned a number ofsuccesses in long distance cross country racesof between 440 yards and two miles, over longdistances proved to be insurmountable. Allthese successes have led to the development ofathletics. In both races attending nobles,officers and wealthy. In terms of number ofspectators, rivaled fisticuffs. More than 10,000people gathered at Newmarket in 1809 to seeCapt<strong>ai</strong>n Barclay to race 1,000 miles, a pace ofone mile per hour. For this he received £16,000, probably the biggest ever prize everwon by an athlete for a <strong>si</strong>ngle race.In the next 40 years, cross country racessaw great popularity, though beginning toflourish around 1810. Steady urbanization ofEngland led to the establishment of profes<strong>si</strong>onalathletic organizations, which were developedespecially in large industrial centers. Controlover the cross country races began to take moreoften in pubs in Birmingham, Manchester,Newcastle, Sheffield and London than in clubsor mess. More and more representatives of thepoorer classes have turned the race into a sourceof income, although g<strong>ai</strong>ns were very smallprevictoriene standards. At stake was usually 5273


pounds and can grow to 100 pounds if the valueof the championship races (official)."Exploitation" was great, so that few athletescould pierce without supporters. Inevitably, it ispracticed all sorts of tricks: the backlog in orderto lose a race, concealing the true phy<strong>si</strong>calform, etc.. The name they adopt runners, thename inspired fear and respect - YoungEngland, North Star, catcher crows, etc.. - Butf<strong>ai</strong>led to mask the low reputation of this sport.But there is another <strong>si</strong>de issue. Runninghas brought many changes, he never trustedenough landowners century sports. nineteenthcentury in order to build modern athleticmeetings. The first tracks were built in the late1830 and in 1850, there were at least 12 majorcities land runways. They ranged in <strong>si</strong>ze andshape - the first around the cricket field "Lord"(1837), was a narrow track for races for 2 - andgenerally were covered with gravel andspecialist surveyors measured. The fact that theexact timing was increa<strong>si</strong>ngly led to thepos<strong>si</strong>ble publication of results. They began todevelop the track racing with those on land andallow the cups and straps for jumpingchampionships. The most popular racingdistances were: 110 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards,1 mile, 2 miles 4mile, 6 miles, 10 miles. In his40 years' samples showed an increased interestof fencing. Regarding clothing, 1850 runner wasvery modern. He wore shoes (sports) sharp and<strong>si</strong>lk shorts. Only when the ladies race andwitnessed, they are wearing tight pants leg andlong sleeve shirts!Cross has seen an unprecedenteddevelopment. How many attended a race and betaround 25,000 spectators. These athletes formedthe fierce competitions. They race to get thebest results, not necessarily records, although in1844, George Seward (1817-1883), an Americanwho settled in England, he ran 100 yards in 9.1/ 4 seconds in 1849, Henry Reed ( 1825-1874)ran 440 yards in 48.1 / 2 seconds, and in1854.880 yards in 58 seconds. In 1845, WilliamJackson (born William Hewitt in 1821 andknown as "American Deer" ran 11 miles and 40yards in one hour.Although Cross has reached a cert<strong>ai</strong>nlevel of technical development, he rem<strong>ai</strong>nedworking class sport. In a society where socialclass has a role, what would happen if anobleman would like pointed shoes footwear(with n<strong>ai</strong>ls) and compete. " Some army officers,and Sir John Astley (1828-1894), bravely, tookpart in running races on land, is con<strong>si</strong>deredamateur, but compete with those who practicedthe sport as profes<strong>si</strong>onals. No matter that thoserunning the betting competing, because, asAstley s<strong>ai</strong>d in his memoirs, "any amateur was agentleman, whether run for money or honor, orboth, - I combine them both. Others, less bold,met at sunrise and ran on Primrose Hill or otherlarge areas of London."In the next decade, appeared inuniver<strong>si</strong>ty athletics. Exeter College <strong>si</strong>nce it<strong>si</strong>nception in 1850, were quite strange. A groupof students disappointed with their results to theraces with obstacles kept in the college,proposed a pedestrian race, the country road anda winter competition in Exeter, according to thelaws of the club jockeys, who went weighing upto guard leaders, or the introduction of aconsolation prize for "horses" (runners) losers.Then sports were introduced in other colleges asthey were at Oxford and Cambridge, it wasbeing "muscular Christianity" 'when the practicebecame a game of trust in public schools only,over time, were able to take the evangelizationof the univer<strong>si</strong>ties. In 1853, CambridgeUniver<strong>si</strong>ty invited a profes<strong>si</strong>onal long jumper tomake a demonstration in front of teachers andstudents, jumping 8.53 m. This initiative had apo<strong>si</strong>tive echo, because the first was founded atCambridge Univer<strong>si</strong>ty of Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Educationand Sport in 1857, and în1860, was also set up auniver<strong>si</strong>ty <strong>si</strong>milar to Oxford. Pretty much thesame time, a lawyer from Cambridge, namedJack Macdonald, who, like Astley, organize andparticipate in amateur races on the existingland, had a deci<strong>si</strong>ve role in convincing athletesto give up heavy sweaters and boots cricket andmove on shorts and pointed shoes. In December1861, Macdonald brought him to Cambridge,the most famous runner, the Indian Americanleg of deer (Hagasadoni known as the LouisBennett, 1828-1897). 6,000 spectators,including the Prince of Wales, have watchedhim win a race for <strong>si</strong>x miles. The fact that thefuture king would have had to patronize such arace after the race and that he welcomed thewinner and had lunch together at TrinityCollege led to a little scandal, but does notserved only to enhance athletic movement bothin Cambridge and on a much wider area.Influenced by the middle class, runningback g<strong>ai</strong>ned in importance. In addition tomembers of the community schools, univer<strong>si</strong>tiesand the army there were others who wanted torun the American Indian. Bu<strong>si</strong>ness people whowanted to exercise, especially on Saturdayafternoon, they could go boating or play cricket,but no athletics club. In winter, Rowing andcricket were interrupted. Cricket Ground "WestLondon" at Brompton was used to run. Whywould this land have been used by people with agreater reputation? Therefore on 30 November1861, West London Rowing Club has leased theland and cross country races held between itsmembers. They had so much success that theywere regularly and repeatedly opened and274


people were not club members. William Price,manager of Hakney Wick land, offered a <strong>si</strong>lvercup for a race of men with disabilities. It washeld on 26 July 1862. Walter Chinnery (1843-1905), the first rig that would run a mile in lessthan 4.12 minutes, recalls how race came to ap<strong>ai</strong>r of shoes with leather shoes and TeddyMills, the famous runner long haul, which wasthe companion of one of the contestants, "I tookpity on me and gave me a p<strong>ai</strong>r of shoes cross."He was defeated by Major Honorable ArtilleryCompany of Spicer. Chinnery had to w<strong>ai</strong>talmost a year to open up an athletics club inLondon. It was founded by bu<strong>si</strong>ness men intown have organized races in Brompton Cross inJune 1863 and called it Mincing Lane AthleticClub.Athletics has developed not only inLondon. At Liverpool in January 1862, CharlesMelly and John Hulley Athletic Club wasfounded in Liverpool. It was developed with thelocal volunteer brigade. Voluntary movementhas been reactivated <strong>si</strong>nce 1859, when therewere fears that Napoleon III was going toinvade England. Hundreds of thousands ofpeople across the country were enrolled inshort-defense units, making military tr<strong>ai</strong>ningevery weekend. In preparation for their sportwas included. On 14 June 1862, the paradeground at Mount Vernon, Liverpool was thescene of a real Olympic competitions.Fascinating idea of resuming the ancientOlympic Games have had more people. Anattempt has been isolated in England in 1612.When Capt<strong>ai</strong>n Robert Dover (1575-1652) withthe support of King Jacob I general (1603-1625), made to his re<strong>si</strong>dence at Costwold,Olympic type games.It is interesting to note that the programincluded running races, throwing the hammer,fencing with sticks, fighting, walking andstanding on the hands (probably acrobaticsgymnastics) and ball games. In some samples,and women were invited to participate. Niceidea but has not caught era conservatism (notnecessarily the UK) was stronger. Wascommendable initiative.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onsAt the end of the presentation of thissequence to practice exercise in the present era,we can say today that these g<strong>ai</strong>ns can not beconceived without human spirit andparticipation in this activity.There is no doubt that the athlete andthen, but now, he just does not make a phy<strong>si</strong>caleffort, it is not just a bundle of nerves andmuscles. It manifests and participates with hiswhole spiritual being obsessed by the de<strong>si</strong>re toconquer, overcome with emotion andsatisfaction of winning the contest. and viewerscan live the same drama and sometimes moreintense.Bibliography1.

SPORT-BY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION CAPACITYMANIFESTATIONLect. univ. dr. Pomohaci Puiu MarcelConf. univ. dr. Sanislav Mih<strong>ai</strong>Lucian Blaga Univer<strong>si</strong>ty, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Phy<strong>si</strong>cal Education and Sport,SibiuSummary: Man is by definition a social being, the essence of this communication isthe ability of man, that is very specifically human capacity to establish a particularrelationship with himself and with other fellows. Here is information about thetype of relationships that occur wherever people interact. The ability tocommunicate there are two parts, first language, communication predispo<strong>si</strong>tionson phy<strong>si</strong>cal and mental and social one, developed after a formative process,learning the rules for communication. The difference between the twocomponents is that the first is finished genetically, being hereditary, and thesecond is acquired through education. Man is not just a human being, but anentity endowed with the will, emotions and feelings, individuals who performphy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise is not just a robot that executes some commands, but an activesubject that has cert<strong>ai</strong>n goals.Key-words: communication, phy<strong>si</strong>cal motion, features.ContentStudy of phy<strong>si</strong>cal movement was alwaysa field of investigation for teaching science,but it is a little investigated field of socialsciences and here we refer to communicationthrough sports. Continuing to explore this areawould come, perhaps, to increase efficiencyconclu<strong>si</strong>ons sports, and communicationproblems.Why, say communication problems, becausethe individual in sport or phy<strong>si</strong>cal activity toexpress himself and beyond his addiction toexecute cert<strong>ai</strong>n moves at a differentlevel of development according to motricperforming such moves as pos<strong>si</strong>ble cert<strong>ai</strong>nquality parameters, which <strong>ai</strong>ms expres<strong>si</strong>venessand relevance of psycho phy<strong>si</strong>ological tr<strong>ai</strong>tsof the individual. From the above it followsthat any phy<strong>si</strong>cal movement can be anexpres<strong>si</strong>on of the ability to communicate,in fact, the literature refers to the 'bodylanguage, expres<strong>si</strong>ve and relevant non-verballanguage in human relationships. The literatureillustrates a variety of meanings of variousbodily manifestations. This ability tocommunicate is different from one sport toanother, for example, <strong>si</strong>mple gymnasticmovements and those of an individual orrhythmic gymnastics or other sports.What can communicate throughphy<strong>si</strong>cal movement at the level of competence?The entire range of human emotions, all humanspecificfeatures and its spiritual manifestations.Not a few times with a sport or artisticexecution is compared with the art.Also through are sports which are empha<strong>si</strong>zedcert<strong>ai</strong>n features such as: strength, speed,strength, etcProfile of adolescent tr<strong>ai</strong>ning was amatter of dispute between specialists in socialsciences and humanities. Body movements,hand po<strong>si</strong>tion, seeing the ... however tell usmuch more about a man than what we say inwords.Gestures, eyes, body movements arecontrolled by the unconscious mind and thatthey generally express what we really are.What matters in communication? 55 items ofnon-verbal language: m<strong>ai</strong>nly facial expres<strong>si</strong>ons,gestures and posture.Paralanguage: intonation and inflectionof voice, words.Proxemica distances is the science thatstudies the role of communication, adoption of abehavior, attitude and social po<strong>si</strong>tion to indicatethe speaker / audience, setting up rules /regulations in the act of communication.There are four major types of distancecommunication, identified by Edward T. Hall:1) intimate distance - close - reservedarea close friends, children, remote area(more than ½ m): handshake;2) personal-area nearest distance (0.5 to0.8 m), reserved for those close ¸ remote area(0.7 to 1.3 m) - limit phy<strong>si</strong>cal domination,offer a degree of familiarity for interpersonaldialogue.3) social distance - the nearest (1.2 to276

For example, inthe <strong>si</strong>tuation of disabled people through sport,phy<strong>si</strong>cal recovery is an individual performsmore than normal people.Communication is related to the sameunderstanding of specific statements by both277


<strong>si</strong>des through the specific language (scientific,technical, pedagogical).A particularly important aspect ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal education teacher activity is specific.in this way the proper use of terminology,terminology of phy<strong>si</strong>cal culture is an area ofscience called semiotics <strong>si</strong>gns, a subsystem ofterms within the general <strong>si</strong>gns of a language.More broadly, it encompasses the entirenomenclature used in the theory and practice ofphy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise.Role properties-language terminology iscrucial in achieving effective learning, anoptimal way of teaching communication of themessage, delivered by the teacher and thestudent's ability decoding its implications inunderstanding the requirements formulated bythe teacher and the development of correctanswers ( A. Stroescu, R. Podlaha, 1974).For the teacher teaching the language isnot only a pure means of communication, butalso the ba<strong>si</strong>s of vital activity. There is noproblem teaching that does not relate tolanguage, there is no educational process whichin one way or another, have not been andprocess languages (V A Mudrik, 1986). Anyinstructional discipline has its own specializedlanguage, which is manifested by occupationaland operationalization of concepts specificterminology.

SPECIFIC FACTOR OF THE GAME - RACQUET STRINGING ACOMPONENT OF MATCH PREPARATIONIN PROFESSIONAL TENNISCezar HONCERIU (F.E.F.S. Iaşi)Victor HĂNESCU (ATP)Gabriel BRĂNIŞTEANU(Star Stringing Cathedral City California)Abstract: In profes<strong>si</strong>onal tennis, match preparation is realized to the smallest det<strong>ai</strong>lregarding the game’s components and/or tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, known being the fact that littlethings can make a big difference on the court. Be<strong>si</strong>des the traditional game factors(technical, tactical, phy<strong>si</strong>cal, biological, psychological and theoretical), tenni<strong>si</strong>mplies a special one: racquet preparation, with empha<strong>si</strong>s on the importance of thestring choice and stringing job. The string type and ten<strong>si</strong>on is chosen accordingly tothe player’s style of play and the level of absorbtion of the frame, an additionalfactor to be con<strong>si</strong>dered being the atmospheric conditions.Key words: string, ten<strong>si</strong>on, evolution, climactic effects.Introduction. Racquet strings can bedivided in two m<strong>ai</strong>n categories: natural andsynthetic. Natural strings are made from cowintestines through a complex process. Itsprincipal characteristics are its superiorelasticity, stable ten<strong>si</strong>on, and liveliness.However, they are very expen<strong>si</strong>ve and affectedby weather conditions. Examples of natural gutstrings include: Klip Legend, Bow BrandChampionship, Pacific Prime Gut and BabolatVS (which has been produced <strong>si</strong>nce 1875, andwas used by Ilie Nastase). Synthetic strings,respectively, are divided in two groups: nylonand polyester. They are high-tech products,constantly improved in order to get as close aspos<strong>si</strong>ble to the performance of natural gut,while having a distinct durability advantage.The higher the string ten<strong>si</strong>on, the more controlit has, but at the expense of power. Lowerten<strong>si</strong>ons have more power, but less control.Evolution and analy<strong>si</strong>s. String ten<strong>si</strong>onis a matter of personal preference and the bestway to find the ideal ten<strong>si</strong>on for someone‘sstyle of play is through repeatedexperimentation with different ten<strong>si</strong>ons.Therefore, different levels of string stiffnessmust be tried out. Additionally, the racquetframe, its shape, and more specifically, itsstructural material compo<strong>si</strong>tion can influencethe type of string and its ten<strong>si</strong>on. Moreover, astiff frame with a small head <strong>si</strong>ze would need alower ten<strong>si</strong>on and preferably a softer string. Aflexible frame requires a higher ten<strong>si</strong>on and astiffer string in order to obt<strong>ai</strong>n a favorablebalance of ball control.Although poor technique is generallythe m<strong>ai</strong>n cause of joint spr<strong>ai</strong>ns and tenni<strong>si</strong>njuries, the importance of the strings cannot beignored. Essentially, the string is the onlyelement that makes the initial contact with theball at speeds of over 100km/h. Below, we willattempt to summarize strings and theirproperties, weighing not only the way theyrespond to impact, but also the vibrationfeedback they produce to the arm.For over 100 years, natural gut hasbeen the prime choice of tennis players for itssuperior feel, comfort, elasticity, and reaction toimpact. However, it has the inconvenience ofeasy breakage in today‘s stiff, widebodyracquets with open patterns, and also poorre<strong>si</strong>lience to atmospheric conditions, likehumidity and extreme heat. As a result, in the1970s, technological advances made nylonmonofilament synthetic strings a viable option.Although cheap and durable, they lacked feeland control due to the ball‘s decreased ―dwelltime‖ (the time of energy transfer on impact).Natural gut rem<strong>ai</strong>ned popular as long asserve & volleyers such as Becker, Sampras andHenman were around, but as the game evolved(with more and more baseliners), its popularitycontinued to decrease. Two of the last artisansof the serve & volley game are Max Mirnyi,who still uses natural gut at 22 kg ten<strong>si</strong>on andMichael Llodra at 23 kg. Natural gut offers that―ball pocketing‖ feel, enabling crisp volleys.We will discuss the development ofmodern racquets, firstly through thetechnological advancements regardingmaterials, and then, as a neces<strong>si</strong>ty, the creationof compatible strings.One of these technologicalbreakthroughs came about in the 1980s, namelythe invention of multifilament strings, a denselywoven fiber wrapped around a solid or279


sometimes hollow core. This created a materialclose to natural gut but more re<strong>si</strong>lient, evenduring extreme atmospheric conditions. As ageneral rule, the ten<strong>si</strong>on must be lowered incold, wet, low altitude conditions (½ to 1 kg)and r<strong>ai</strong>sed in hot, dry weather or high altitude.However, the increased elasticity was a problemfor players with modern, large head <strong>si</strong>zeracquets and fast swing speeds, resulting inpoor control. To counteract this elasticity, thestrings needed to be either pre-stretched orstrung at extremely high ten<strong>si</strong>ons, cau<strong>si</strong>ngdamage to the frame. Jim Courier used Gosenstrings at a ten<strong>si</strong>on of 32 kg. Additionally,Chang, at the 1989 French Open, was one of thefirst pros to use synthetic gut, Prince Duraflex,at 29-30 kg and also Jeff Tarango with Yonex at30kg. A big problem was the fact that thestrings lost a lot of ten<strong>si</strong>on in a short amount oftime. In order to minimize lo<strong>si</strong>ng ten<strong>si</strong>on duringthe stringing job, and also to avoid putting toomuch stress on the frame at those high ten<strong>si</strong>ons,the stringers used the ―boxy‖ or ―square‖method: after completing the m<strong>ai</strong>ns, the stringwill go across the bottom of the racquet for thelast cross and then going up to complete the lastm<strong>ai</strong>n on the oppo<strong>si</strong>te <strong>si</strong>de, then continuing withfilling all the crosses from the top down. Still,multifilament synthetic gut has rem<strong>ai</strong>ned morepopular at the recreational level.In the early ‗90s kevlar, a very solidmaterial (bulletproof), almost impos<strong>si</strong>ble tobreak, began to be used. It did not stretch at all,resulting in a perfect ―dead feel‖ preferred bymany hard-hitting baseliners. Agas<strong>si</strong> was one ofthe first users, although only for the m<strong>ai</strong>nstrings, combined with synthetic gut in crosses(Problend hybrid), which gave a newperspective to the game. This combo was theperfect choice to counterbalance his powerful107 sq. in. over<strong>si</strong>ze racquet, and also gave himbetter ball control. However, the extremeharshness of kevlar made it unsuitable forintense play due to the tremendous vibration itproduced to the arm (especially on off-centershots). Kevlar fell out of players‘ preferences,but continues to be used to some degree only inhybrid set-ups, usually on the m<strong>ai</strong>ns (at about20% lower ten<strong>si</strong>on), with synthetic or naturalgut on the crosses. This combo reduces theharshness <strong>si</strong>gnificantly while still m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ng theexcellent durability kevlar is famous for.A big step forward was the introductionof polyester, a solid core string, with specificproperties. One of the first companies to marketthe product was PolyStar in the ‗80s. MichaelStich and Brian Gottfried were among the firstusers. It was a prime choice of strings for theirdurability and re<strong>si</strong>lience, especially for claycourt players with extreme grips and heavytopspin. Ten<strong>si</strong>ons must be dropped in polyesterstrings by 10% compared to natural or syntheticgut due to their lack of power. As a result, anew generation of players, stronger and withfaster swings, grew up with and adopted thenew string as being suitable for their game.Among them were Alberto Berasategui, CarlosMoya and Albert Costa, all topspin baselineplayers.Luxilon, a high-tech Belgian chemicalcompany, manufactured the most succesfulstring, adopted now by about 60% ofprofes<strong>si</strong>onal players. The first notable topplayer to endorse it, after A. Costa at US Open‘96, was Gustavo Kuerten at Roland Garros in‘97. It is far less stiffer than kevlar, but has thesame ―dead feel‖, so the player can hit as hardas he can while still m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ng control. Itprovides excellent spin at medium ten<strong>si</strong>ons dueto its recoiling properties, allowing strings tomove freely. Among current players who useLuxilon are (note that all are power baseliners):Soderling (28 kg), Gulbis (29/28 kg), Verdasco(24/22 kg), Montanes (25 kg), Ferrer (24 kg),Ferrero (25/24 kg), Gasquet (24/23), Blake (30kg), and Nalbandian (23 kg). It has also beenused in hybrid combination, mostly in the m<strong>ai</strong>nstrings (Roddick-29 kg, Karlovic-27 kg, Serra-25 kg, Baghdatis-24/26 kg), but also in crosses(Federer, Chiudinelli, Ancic, Ljubicic,Stepanek). The big advantage of hybrids is thatthey compensate the stiffness of polyester withthe softness of gut (or synthetic), making itsuitable for an all court game.Another important aspect in choo<strong>si</strong>ngthe strings is the thickness, which variesbetween 1,10mm and 1,35mm. A thinner gaugehas better overall playability, including betterfeel, more spin and more power. The player willalways look for a balance between playabilityand durability.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onsBe<strong>si</strong>des the clas<strong>si</strong>c approach, tenni<strong>si</strong>mplies a particular element, racquetpreparation, with its most important part: thestring and ten<strong>si</strong>on selection. String compo<strong>si</strong>tionhas undergone a constant evolution, influencingthe game itself, making it faster and morespectacular. The strings and ten<strong>si</strong>ons aredictated by the player‘s style of play, and thelevel of the frame‘s absorbtion can beinfluenced by the climate.Below is a chart of the playability of thestrings based on gauge and ten<strong>si</strong>on.280

Phy<strong>si</strong>cal activity has a key role in the phy<strong>si</strong>cal,cognitive and social-emotional development of the child.Key words: phy<strong>si</strong>cal education, motility, coordination capacity, primary school,lesson.Practi<strong>si</strong>ng phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise has beenacknowledged <strong>si</strong>nce ancient times as animportant contribution to the phy<strong>si</strong>caldevelopment, as well as the ethical andaesthetic education of the individual.In education in general and in primaryschool in particular, teaching phy<strong>si</strong>cal educationhas a very important role in point of thefavourable influence upon the process ofdeveloping and strengthening the body, and as adidactic process meant to favour the children‘sfast adaptation to the newest socialrequirements. Also, through phy<strong>si</strong>cal educationone may achieve the balance of intellectualrequirements and psycho-motor and ludicalrequirements, which is of utmost importance inorgani<strong>si</strong>ng didactic activities with pupils aged6-11.During a school year primary schoolpupils have to cover 68 lessons of phy<strong>si</strong>caleducation, divided into 2 semesters of 17 weekseach, each week cont<strong>ai</strong>ning hours of phy<strong>si</strong>caleducation. As it is well known, the developmentof coordinative capacities is achieved throughan especially created instructional <strong>si</strong>tuation,placed in the lesson structure immediately afterthe selective influence of the locomotiveapparatus. As a rule, this didactic action isallotted about 10 minutes, the pupils performingrunning with changes of direction, hurdleavoidance, placing and collecting objects,pas<strong>si</strong>ng below obstacles, carrying and relayingobjects, handling the jumping rope or the circle,etc. the Methodological Guide of Phy<strong>si</strong>calEducation and Sport Curriculum Application inPrimary School elaborated by the Ministry ofEducation and Research provides for a numberof 22 lessons on the development ofcoordinative capacities, among which 9 lessonscount as m<strong>ai</strong>n learning units, the rest of 13being seen as secondary. Thus, out of the totalof 68 hours of phy<strong>si</strong>cal education per schoolyear, approximately 3 hours are allotted to thedevelopment of coordination capacities.Similarly, in order to develop the schoolcurricula drawn up and approved by theMinistry of Education and Research mentionunder the learning contents for the first twogrades only the coordination of motor actionsperformed individually, and for grades 3 and 4the coordination of body segments in actions ofincrea<strong>si</strong>ng complexity, the coordination ofactions in relation with a partner, objecthandling. All these learning contents aresubjected to the m<strong>ai</strong>n objective ‖the exten<strong>si</strong>onof the own background of ba<strong>si</strong>c motor skills,which are utilitarian applicative and elementary,and the development of the related motorqualities‖. These m<strong>ai</strong>n objectives arecompulsory, together with the referenceobjectives, and the standards of curricularperformance. The reference objectives aredisseminated along the 4 years of school ,<strong>ai</strong>ming at acquiring the capacity of performingmotor activities with the fastness indices,promptly and appropriately responding tovisual, auditory and tactile stimuli; performingmotor tasks with progres<strong>si</strong>vely increa<strong>si</strong>ngdegrees of complexity, body handling (running,jumps, climbs, crawls, tractions, pushes, etc.)only by the force of the muscles; performingand bearing uniform and variable efforts ofprolonged duration.An equal or approximately equalnumber of lessons as the ones devoted todeveloping coordinative capacities are allottedby the Methodological Guide to the other ba<strong>si</strong>cmotor skills. Thus, speed development is given22 lessons (9 as a m<strong>ai</strong>n learning unit and 13 assecondary learning unit), strength development19 lessons (as a secondary learning unit) andendurance development 28 lessons (as asecondary learning unit).In the structure of the school year thecoordination capacity is approached at the sametime as speed (due to the mutually beneficialinfluences) in one m<strong>ai</strong>n unit, being studied intwo times four lessons at the beginning of eachsemester, and in the initial part of the open <strong>ai</strong>rwork in the 2nd semester as a secondarylearning unit, focu<strong>si</strong>ng m<strong>ai</strong>nly on stimulatingthe reaction speed and performance inconditions of handling, placing, collecting,relaying, carrying objects. This secondarylearning unit is achieved through relays andgames, organised as competitions in aninstructional <strong>si</strong>tuation especially inserted in thelesson structure, usually after the ‖selectiveinfluence of the locomotive apparatus‖.Primary school includes pupils agedbetween 7 and 11, an age group that representsan essential moment in the child‘s life due tothe transformations it implies. Together with thefinal stage of kindergarten, primary schoolconstitues the first step in our shool system,compulsory for all pupils. In the case of youngpupils (before puberty 6 – 11 years of age forgirls and until 12 for boys), characterised byschool debut and impetuous gestural behaviour,it is obvious that they are attracted to sports and285


competitions. This age (children being smalland light) may be seen as a stage of extremeea<strong>si</strong>ness in learning, in acquiring ba<strong>si</strong>c technicaltr<strong>ai</strong>ning.Coordination tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, according tospecialists, has to be introduced when theplasticity of the nervous system is high (in preadolescence)and the motor habits have not yetbecome permanent. The coordination tr<strong>ai</strong>ningscope changes at the age of adolescence, whenphy<strong>si</strong>cal development alters the movementhabits already formed. During this period themovement refining should be mire importantthan acquiring new motor skills. In postadolescencethe coordination tr<strong>ai</strong>ning may ag<strong>ai</strong>nbe brought to a new level.The degree of manifestation of motorcapacities changes as the pupil ages. In a<strong>si</strong>mpler ver<strong>si</strong>on, 3 m<strong>ai</strong>n periods of developmentmay be stated: an increa<strong>si</strong>ng period (relativelyfast) of motor capacities in childhood andadolescence, a ‖plateau‖ period and a gradualregres<strong>si</strong>on stage in adult life. The level andevolution of motor performance depend on aseries of factors such as sex, biologicaldevelopment, environment influence, phy<strong>si</strong>caleffort, etc. As a result, cert<strong>ai</strong>n sen<strong>si</strong>tive andcritical periods were noticed in individualdevelopment and described in specialisedliterature. They are characterised by the factthat the body, in cert<strong>ai</strong>n periods, responds moreintensely to external stimuli. On the other hand,critical periods are con<strong>si</strong>dered either as a stagewhen, if cert<strong>ai</strong>n determined development effectsare to be obt<strong>ai</strong>ned, it is absolutely necessary toapply cert<strong>ai</strong>n stimuli, or a stagnation period, ifnot decline.The table below shows the model of thesen<strong>si</strong>tive stages elaborated more than 2o yearsago by Volkov (Deutscher Tennis Bund, 1986),quoted by A Conzelman.Table 1 Model of the sen<strong>si</strong>tive stages of motor capacities (cf.

In point of the biological agingprocesses, the extent to which they may beinfluenced through appropriate tr<strong>ai</strong>ningmeasures is quite high. In this respect, it shouldbe s<strong>ai</strong>d that for instance aerobic re<strong>si</strong>stance andmaximum strength may be influenced in ahigher degree than strength in a speed regimeand speed all along life in regard of themaximum strength in men, there is thepos<strong>si</strong>bility to influence it more at the end ofadolescence and the beginning of adult life, ascompared to the beginning of childhood and oldage in adulthood. In point of coordinationcapacities, in general, they respond better tostimulation in the first half of life than thesecond.Concerning the tr<strong>ai</strong>nability ofcoordinative capacities, the optimal period isyoung school age. The age of adolescence isdescribed as critical. Progress in achieving thetasks of motor education for various age groupsdepend more on previous motor experience thanon age. Simple motor mechanisms, which do notinvolve special conditional requirements andnot requiring long periods of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, are learntfaster by children than by adolescents. That iswhy the sports field operates with the saying‖what little Petey has not learnt, Peter willnever be able to learn‖ which is quite relevantfor motor capacities.The more complex a motor movement orseries of motor movements, the more developedthe coordination capacity, manifested throughpreci<strong>si</strong>on, economy, strength optimisation andmuscle energy consumption, delay in fatigueoccurrence, harmonious and expres<strong>si</strong>veevolution of movement, release of corticalcontrol as a result of forming an automatedstereotype and prevention of injuries.By interconditioning motor capacitiesand coordinative capacities, a maximum output286


of conditional capacity may be obt<strong>ai</strong>ned,influencing performance. A satisfactorydevelopment of coordinative capacities leads toimproving performance during the tr<strong>ai</strong>ningperiod.Table 2 Plasticity of motor capacities in life (cf.

As strength,speed, height, body mass develop <strong>si</strong>gnificantlyduring these years, it is more recommendable tofix down movements that are already known,instead of learning new ones.Bibliografie1.

FORMS OF MANIFESTATION OF THE COORDINATIONABILITIES AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOLMoisescu Petronel,.‖Dunărea de Jos‖ Univer<strong>si</strong>ty of GalaţiSummary: So far the theory and methodology of phy<strong>si</strong>cal education display largepos<strong>si</strong>bilities of developing motor capacities and especially coordinative ones at agespreceding adolescence. The use of a system of specific means for the development ofcoordinative capacities may produce arguments in favour of recon<strong>si</strong>dering theorientation of the contents of phy<strong>si</strong>cal education for primary school pupils.Key words: coordination capacities, manifestation forms, pupils, favourableperiods, development.In order to better understand the conceptof coordination capacities, one should take intoaccount the meaning of the verb to coordinate,and also of the meaning of the noun capacity. Inthe work ―Motor skills. Structure andevaluation‖, Thomas R., Eclache J. P., Keller J.,adopt as a definition for the notion of capacitythe opinion of Piéron H., who opines thatcapacity ―represents the ability to succeed inperforming a task or exerci<strong>si</strong>ng a profes<strong>si</strong>on‖.All types of coordination are notevinced separately, but always in combinationwith a system proper to the individual‘sobjective and phy<strong>si</strong>ological peculiarities. Manyspecialists in the field have acceptedcoordination capacity as a block with a complexstructure and a high number of coordinationcapacities de<strong>si</strong>gned for activities with a highcoordination content.An important argument in this sensemay be the study of the German scholar BlumeD. D. Who con<strong>si</strong>ders 7 forms of manifestationfor the coordination capacities: orientation;response; kinetic differentiation; balancem<strong>ai</strong>ntenance; rhythmic; concord; restructure.However, according to the same author,the previous capacities are all-encompas<strong>si</strong>ng,but they are not all. Thus, Hirtz P. discoveredover 80 forms of coordination capacity. P.Hirtz, G. Ludwig, J. Willnitz, when referring toschool sport, list 5 forms of fundamentalcoordination capacity: the capacity of kineticdifferentiation; the capacity of spatialorientation; the capacity of reaction; thecapacity of m<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning balance; the rhythmiccapacity.Мatveev С. clas<strong>si</strong>fies coordinationcapacities into 3 subgroups: the capacity ofbalance m<strong>ai</strong>ntenance; the capacity of rationalrelaxation of the body muscles; the capacity ofobedience and accurate regulation themovement spatial parameters.Martin D. con<strong>si</strong>ders as coordinationcapacities the following: the capacity ofcontrol; the capacity of rhythm; the capacity ofdifferentiation; the capacity of balance; thecapacity of reaction.Renato Manno, in his book ―the Ba<strong>si</strong>csof Sports Tr<strong>ai</strong>ning‖, settling the fact that acomplex capacity as coordination involves thecumulated action of more analysers, enumeratesthe following qualities that determines thiscapacity: the capacity to combine movements;the capacity of spatial-temporal orientation; thecapacity of kinaesthetic differentiation; thecapacity of balance; the capacity of motorreaction; the capacity of movementtransformation; the capacity of rhythmperception.V. Platonov discovers the followingrelatively independent coordinative capacities :the capacity of assessment and regulation ofdynamic, spatial and temporal parameters; thecapacity of muscle coordination; the capacity ofkinaesthetic differentiation; the capacity ofvisual and spatial orientation; the capacity ofbalance; the capacity of rhythm; the capacityof response; the capacity of restructuring motorprograms; the capacity of motor acqui<strong>si</strong>tion; thecapacity of guidance and control; the capacityof adaptation.P. Hirtz, for children of up to 10,evinces the following forms of coordinationmanifestation: the capacity of coordinationunder duress; the capacity of spatial-temporaldifferentiation; the capacity of response toacoustic and visual stimuli; the rhythmiccapacity; the capacity of spatial orientation; thecapacity of balance.Studying the pupils‘ coordinativecapacities, V. Leah divided them into 3 broadgroups: special coordinative capacities; specificcoordinative capacities; general coordinativecapacities.As mentioned previously, thecoordinative capacities are very varied andspecific. That is why the dynamic of theirdevelopment in ontogene<strong>si</strong>s has a specificcharacter for each of the capacities.288


Thus, according to В. Farfel, both staticbalance, and dynamic balance developprogres<strong>si</strong>vely from 3 to 13 years of age. It isworth mentioning that at 3-4 children may reacha level of manifestation of the dynamic balanceequal to old people. The indices of staticbalance characteristic to mature people may beseen in children aged 7. The capacity ofregulating temporal, spatial parameters andparameters of movement strength activelyincreases between 6-7 years-old and 10-12 yearsold.According to the same author, a <strong>si</strong>milarage dynamics is also characteristic for thenatural development of the capacity ofvoluntary (free) relaxation of the muscles. P.Hirtz and Azil, quoted by C. Dragnea and S.Mate-Teodorescu, con<strong>si</strong>der that the mostfavourable periods for the development ofcoordinative capacities are childhood, pubertyand adolescence, when the organism possesses abetter plasticity than in adult years. At the ageof 6-7 the following are well developed and onemay act on them: balance, joint mobility,muscular (local) endurance, which makes itpos<strong>si</strong>ble to acquire a large number of motorskills founding the marked development ofcoordinative capacities between the ages of 6and 11. According to the authors, this ageperiod is the most important for acquiring newmotor skills, which are born in an integrativemanner, out of movements already known.Relative to this topic, V. Chicucon<strong>si</strong>ders that a more intense development ofcoordinative capacities occurs at the age of 4-5.Taking into account the development tempo ofthe coordinative capacities, the authors call thisage the golden age. If during this period oneacts directionally on the coordinative capacitiesdevelopment, later, at the age of 7-10 they willreach a higher level of development. Theauthors also mention that as a rule, at all agesthe level of development of coordinativecapacities in boys is higher than in girls.Common research in Germany andPoland included over 3000 individuals agedbetween 8 and 23. They <strong>ai</strong>med primarily atasses<strong>si</strong>ng m<strong>ai</strong>nly the level of balancedevelopment, but also the other components ofthe coordinative capacities. Research proved apo<strong>si</strong>tive dynamics of the results, both in boysand in girls. In boys, the improvements weremore vi<strong>si</strong>ble. The highest progress wasregistered until the age of 11. But maximalresults were reached at 15-20. On the ba<strong>si</strong>s ofthe analy<strong>si</strong>s of these results, the so-calledcritical periods may be detected in thedevelopment of coordinative capacities.Between 11 and 13 one may observe atemporary stagnation or a decline in thisdevelopment, especially in the girls and theboys who don‘t practise phy<strong>si</strong>cal exercise.V. Leah, examining over 1600 pupils,and also taking into account Hirtz‘s research,reached the conclu<strong>si</strong>on that the indices of thevarious coordinative capacities increase themost from 7 to 11-12 years of age. In the sameage span there occur the most favourableperiods of development for coordinativecapacities. M<strong>ai</strong>nly, at the age of 8.3 (boys) and8.1 (girls) children make progress in proportionof 25 % of the total pos<strong>si</strong>ble increase of results;50 % - at 10.2 years of age and at 9.6 years ofage; 75 % - at 12.4 years of age and,respectively at 11.9 years of age.The manifestation of coordinativecapacities is conditioned by the maturationprocesses, especially of the nervous system, andthe number of motor skills the subjects master.After early childhood, subjects possess abackground of ba<strong>si</strong>c and applicative motorskills (walking, running, jumping, throwing andcatching, pulling, climbing, pushing, crawling,etc.). At this stage the cognitive and motorcapacities support each other.According to scientific investigations,studied by Volkov, movement coordinationundergoes an increased tempo of biologicaldevelopment in girls between 8 and 9 andbetween 10 and 11. At the age of 11-12 theincrease tempo is average. From 12 to 14movements coordination worsens, but duringthe process is restored and stabilised. In boys,the biological development tempo of thiscapacity increases between 8 and 9 and between11 and 12. At the age of 13-14 averagedevelopment tempos are registered. The periodsbetween 9 and 10, 12 to 13, and 14 to 17 arecharacterised by stabilisation of movementcoordination that is essential changes, eitherpo<strong>si</strong>tive or negative, do not occur.Studying the tempo of coordinativecapacities development (the capacity ofm<strong>ai</strong>nt<strong>ai</strong>ning static and dynamic balance, thecapacity of spatial orientation, the reactionspeed and the movement coordination) inchildren aged 8-14, B. Minarsky quoted by V.Chicu observed that these capacities developinten<strong>si</strong>vely at the age 8-12, after which theirdevelopment dynamics decreases con<strong>si</strong>derably.Also, the author found that the male sexdominates <strong>si</strong>gnificantly the level of movementcoordination development, the speed of themotor reaction and the capacity of spatialorientation. Thus, the author concludes that thebest period for the development of coordinativecapacities is the age 8 to 11-12 when a highernatural increase is noticeable.The knowledge of sen<strong>si</strong>tive periods, andmore importantly, of the critical ones in289


developing coordinative capacities shouldcontribute to elaborating strategies (tr<strong>ai</strong>ningplans), corresponding to the pupils‘ abilities,that is taking into account the difficult period inmotor development. It is important especially inevents which are complex from a technical pointof view. It is a frequent occurrence that pupilsare con<strong>si</strong>dered hopeless especially during thisperiod.Therefore, the results of the researchmentioned above clearly showed that there aresen<strong>si</strong>tive periods in the development ofcoordinative capacities between 7 and 12. Inother words, the pos<strong>si</strong>bilities ignored in thisperiod can hardly be recovered later. However,the idea that this period is the most suitable indeveloping the coordinative capacities cannotbe definitive. It is believed that coordinativecapacities can be successfully developed in allschool years (especially if a solid foundation isl<strong>ai</strong>d at a young school age and in the first halfof adolescence), even if the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning effect isnot the same: the highest – between 7 and 11-12; average – from 14 to 16-17; the lowest –from 12 to 14. The lowest development periodmay be deemed as a critical one (of stagnationor decline) in point of coordinative capacitiesdevelopment. In this respect it is imperative tomanifest an increased attention towards thesecapacities, both qualitatively, andquantitatively. The lack of appropriate measure<strong>si</strong>n this period may trigger the decrease of thedevelopment level of the coordinative capacitiesand lead to losses that may never becompensated.In conclu<strong>si</strong>on, the authors con<strong>si</strong>der thatin the ontogene<strong>si</strong>s of the development of motorcoordination, the individual‘s capacity to formmotor skills reaches the climax at the age of 11-12, this age being optimal from the point ofview of guiding sports tr<strong>ai</strong>ning.Bibliografie1.

Theemergence of personal computers andcomputerized mini-laboratories represent thequalitative leap made in the technologicalevolution. Through new technologies, a largeamount of information is processed and storedfor their subsequent use. Its appearanceconstitutes the seed and the essence in the newscientific-technical revolution.MaterialThe introduction of auxiliary equipmentin the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning has deep roots: fighters from theOrient used pulleys, wooden mobile models, theknights used mobile targets remotely operatedwith rope by u<strong>si</strong>ng gravity or animal traction,ballistas, catapults, shield, helmet, armor arejust some of the ancillary equipment used in thepast and about have heard most of us. For abetter representation of the supportingapparatus, especially of the efficiency of theirapplication in the preparation of athletes andnot only, we must look in the past at theappearance of sports and sports materials, manyof them lost in the mists of history andreinvented much later.Frederick Ludwig, the representative ofthe German old school is the person whoinvented the gymnastics equipment (fixed andparallel bars) laying the foundation forgymnastics as we know it today, and the personwho founded the system of ―Swedishgymnastics‖ was Per Henrik Ling was, theseinnovations occurring on the background ofmilitary needs, referring to game, combat andphy<strong>si</strong>c. Also as needs, but coming this time inthe pedagogical field were the inventions of J.N<strong>ai</strong>smith and W. Morgan the forefathers ofbasketball and volleyball, games that nowadayshave millions of practitioners all over theworld.C. Kiriţescu [2, p. 183] believed thatball games are the oldest, most popular andmost varied of games. Their strong characterand the playful nature have imposed the ballgames as far back as the Middle Ages in theconsciousness of most people on the oldcontinent. V. Albu, [1, p. 69-71] presents themost popular games in the Middle Ages called―Jeu de Paume‖; ―la Soule‖; and ―La Crosse‖,games where the ball was made of wood, thenleather and filled with sawdust, sand, bran, hay,moss and even stone and was hit with hand, footor a cane.From the thirteenth century, when thepractice of the bowling game is documentarytestified, until today when in addition to<strong>si</strong>gnificantly improved materials and rules,appeared the device for arranging the pins,machine which although does not interferedirectly in the preparation of athletes or in thecourse of running the competitions is an integralpart of both, reducing greatly the time requiredto recover the ball and rearranging the pins,making this game more attractive.From these beginnings until today, thematerials making up the balls, clubs, pucks,sports equipments etc., the rules of the gamesand tr<strong>ai</strong>ning facilities have evolveddramatically. The development of materials andequipment unfold in parallel with the evolutionof games in the technical and tactical account,sometimes even conditioning it. All theseimprovements are the preserve of sciencedevelopment, of the enlargement of the area ofknowledge and have as m<strong>ai</strong>n pawn the inventor,who often practiced these games.The evolution of sports, as part ofuniversal culture, is the result of needs, de<strong>si</strong>res,innovative ideas, regional peculiarities, <strong>si</strong>ttingat the human de<strong>si</strong>re to compete, relax andimprove their biometrical potential. The lastcentury is marked by the emergence ofnumerous sports, each more different, being thepreserve of the feverish search for new ways tospend enjoyable time and to combat thenegative effects created by modern means ofcommunication and transport (televi<strong>si</strong>on,computer, telephone, escalators, cars, etc.).With the improvement of competition‘sregulations, which takes place over time, as aresult of factors that need to be con<strong>si</strong>dered suchas dynamism, spectacular, duration (fortelevi<strong>si</strong>on broadcast), protection and other, newelements and techniques appear in those sportgames, which leads to the need to implementnew methods and means for tr<strong>ai</strong>ning. At thesame time, reducing the duration ofapprenticeships and the de<strong>si</strong>re to competesooner, requires the use of new means toincrease efficiency and achieve goals.I believe that a clas<strong>si</strong>fication should bemade on line sports equipment. In my view theyare divided into: 1. apparatus with the role oftr<strong>ai</strong>ning (ball launchers, models, sensors,electronic devices, weight lifting etc.), 2. theProtective equipment (helmets, harnesses,291


aprons etc.), 3. Additional equipment (basketswith balls, nets restr<strong>ai</strong>nt, devices for arrangingpins etc.), 4. apparatus used in the race (tools ofgymnastics, athletics, shooting, cycling etc.).Although, in advanced form, these typesof devices are currently in place, they have beenused <strong>si</strong>nce antiquity, in more rudimentaryshapes, being used mostly for military purposes.Their usefulness has been established <strong>si</strong>nce timeimmemorial, V. Albu, con<strong>si</strong>ders throwing as themost important moment of the evolution ofprimitive man, who passed from the screeningof various objects with his own muscles, to theprojection by mechanical means (sling, bow,ballista, catapult etc.). U<strong>si</strong>ng mechanical mean<strong>si</strong>s known throughout the Olympics preparation,the preparation of athletes participating incompetitions, the competitions of chivalry, oflearning martial arts and examples can continue.Equipment in general, according to I. Şiclovan‘sview [6, p. 141], increases the exercise‘sefficiency, adding to this structure functionalvalues which could not be achieved only byrepeating themselves.Therefore specialized profes<strong>si</strong>onals arelooking to create more diverse models ofdevices, appropriate to the accomplishment inthe best conditions of the objectives in theinstructive-educational process. Supportingdevices are applied, according to V. Filipov‘sview, for the development of motrical orcombined qualities, with <strong>si</strong>multaneous effect,they also meant improving the technicalelements of different compartments [61, p. 23].Some authors con<strong>si</strong>der the specializedequipment not only a specific part of thecombination of means, but a part of varioussports, such as parallel, flat bar, rings, wheel,spear, net and others. They are created and usedas tools in different ways and for differentpurposes. For the development of the motricalqualities there are fixed scale, sticks,weightlifting, expanders etc., for improving thetechnique there are lanyards in gymnastics,mannequins in combat, throwing ballsappliances and electronic devices in sportsgames. In some sports, the equipment is used toprotect athletes from shocks such as the helmetin boxing, cycling, hockey etc.I. Şiclovan [6, p. 199] mentions themechanisms used to speed the development ofthe swimmer afloat, made in various formswhich are operated by coaches in varioustechnical methods and float on adjacent lanes,driving the swimmers‘ tr<strong>ai</strong>ning. In the samefield of study there can be remembered manyinnovations related to technology tr<strong>ai</strong>ning,tr<strong>ai</strong>ning in nautical disciplines such asswimming tr<strong>ai</strong>ning devices on land (1812 – thePrus<strong>si</strong>an general Pfuel who conceived aswimming ―hall‖ in the absence of a traditionalswimming pool). After M. Olaru there are givenaccurate <strong>si</strong>mulation apparatus, on the scientificand modern way of the movements and muscleclenching from the contest, sport-Sat 101,„made in Romania‖ – made at the CCDS – theResearch Center in the field of Sports by a teamled by Pierre Hillerin, V. Schor, C. Obreja, M.Olaru) and devices from the Western world suchas the Exer-Geny, Mini-Gym, Biokinetik bench.It also deserves to be mentioned thespecial equipment which uniform hinders theeffort of forwarding through the water (sponges,jackets, mittens etc.). This list may also includethe new swimming suits, suits launched byprestigious companies, which have the meant tofacilitate the submis<strong>si</strong>on of the body (throughlower frenulum currents formed as the waterpasses along the body, such as „shark skin‖used by Michael Fred Phelps, the winner ofeight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics in thesummer of 2008.Another device used in the preparationof athletes is „the conditions <strong>si</strong>mulatorERGOSIM‖, de<strong>si</strong>gned and built by a group ofscientists from Romania, being well-known tothe Romanian swimming field for 15 years.Tr<strong>ai</strong>ning on the <strong>si</strong>mulator has helped, alongwith traditional tr<strong>ai</strong>ning to deliver outstandingresults, over the years, by the country‘s bestathletes <strong>si</strong>nce 1982, such as Carmen Bunaciu,Nicolae Butacu or Camelia Potec.Another example of a device forimproving the technical preparation is thecreation of Nicholae Ochiană, the supportingdevice called „DECT‖ or „electronic device forthe correction of the technique‖ which isba<strong>si</strong>cally a table tennis robot. The electronicdevice „DECT‖ can be used successfully both inteaching and correcting and also in selfcorrectingtechnique. Furthermore, the systemself-control, in conjunction with reduced gaugeand the information storage capacity, givesresearchers, teachers and coaches in the field ahigh degree of mobility.Results: The performances proven overtime by the developments in sports and theirpractice more effective and safer conditions,coupled with previously unimaginableperformance confirms the value and importanceof specialized equipment in the preparation andconduct of sporting competitions.Based on these con<strong>si</strong>derations,supplemented by opinions of specialists I haveachieved a chart of supporting apparatus appliedin phy<strong>si</strong>cal education and sports, <strong>ai</strong>ming alsofor the effect of interdisciplinary in theconceiving of the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning systems as well as themethodological route of their creation, as shownin Figure 1.292

on telescopic legs with the role of holding anddriving the balls into the athlete when heexecutes the throwing to the basket etc., theyimprove the technical and phy<strong>si</strong>cal preparationof athletes, having a <strong>si</strong>gnificant impact onsubsequent developments in those sports games,by influencing the technical, tactical andphy<strong>si</strong>cal components.It is known that specific elements andtechniques for the volleyball game are muchmore difficult to assume compared to othersports games, because the specific skills arebased on a mechanism that students do not havein the baggage of natural, regular, d<strong>ai</strong>ly skills.Therefore it is necessary for sports likevolleyball, to use modern means of education -supporting devices which are de<strong>si</strong>gned not onlyto „accelerate‖ the tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, as a result of theSorbonne Declaration, but also the attraction ofsubjects in their tr<strong>ai</strong>ning.Analyzing the literature, supplementedby information found in the world patent database, I have noticed the existence of manyinventions, characterizing devices supportingthe game of volleyball as described by N.Murafa and Şt. Stroie: „Hand fitted ball‖, ―Theball hung‖, „Panel to prepare elements ofdefense‖ or how is also known as „Reflexivepanel,‖ „Ball line‖, „Ball on the pulley‖,„Opaque place,‖ ―Lead Ball‖, ‖ Framework forpreci<strong>si</strong>on passes „ basket cell‖ „,Throw theball‖ „the ball suspended‖ „blockingmechanism‖ [4, p. 201-222], those presented byV. Larionescu Moroşan, C. Ciorbă: „Frameworkfor the attack,‖, „Block Test‖, ―Double lifter‖,―Cannon – service‖, ―Sleeve volleyball‖ andothers. The concern of researchers from all overthe world on supporting devices as necessaryand effective means of preparing the volleyballplayers is reflected in a number of inventionspresented in over 200 pages of the electronic„European Patent Office‖, such as: ‖Apparatusfor tr<strong>ai</strong>ning the upper f<strong>ai</strong>rway of the game ofvolleyball‖, inventor G. Szabo, ―Machinelearning and improvement for two hands abovethe f<strong>ai</strong>rway with the game of volleyball‖,con<strong>si</strong>sting a rod provided with mounting strapsforearms subject movement leading to a moreaccurate performance, „Volleyball Tr<strong>ai</strong>ningDevice‖, C. Ciorbă, V. Moroşan Larionescu, C.Ciufudean, con<strong>si</strong>sts of a collar device that iscomposed of contact sensors and <strong>si</strong>gnal the ballwhen it reaches the contact <strong>si</strong>te and whether itwas correct, and the list goes on.From the above we can say that themethod is applied to auxiliary devices andrecovered m<strong>ai</strong>nly in the preparation ofperformance in most sports games as a tool forscreening, diagno<strong>si</strong>s, correction and evaluationof performance levels. However, source<strong>si</strong>ndicate little helpful devices de<strong>si</strong>gned for usein preparing pupils and students, they generally<strong>ai</strong>med at preparing athletes. We believe asappropriate the treatment with increasedattention of de<strong>si</strong>gning and placing theequipment <strong>ai</strong>ds in the preparation of students,background of an effective and necessarymethodical approach, which would find laterconceptual and practical applicability in sportperformance. In this context we mention thattraditional methods should not be avoided.U<strong>si</strong>ng traditional methods combined withauxiliary devices are a safer way to foster aninteractive learning and building environment,focused on the performer. Rapid transmis<strong>si</strong>on ofinformation, stimulating the competition createdby the intervention of specialized equipment,determine also the teachers to adapt to the newrequirements imposed by each subject byfinding modern solutions, efficient, anchored inthe realities of this millennium.Conclu<strong>si</strong>onsThe evolution of the pos<strong>si</strong>bilities ofquantifying the errors of execution, timely andaccurate, due to the improvement of computertechnology and complementary sciences, willlead to new solutions for tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, contributingtowards fostering the knowledge in our field.Thus the importance and effectiveness ofsupporting devices can produce powerfulchanges in the de<strong>si</strong>gn of technical tr<strong>ai</strong>ning,assuming the following:- appropriate use of the ―methodicalaccelerators‖ in the process of tr<strong>ai</strong>ning, with apredominant purpose of diagno<strong>si</strong>s, as<strong>si</strong>stanceand correction;- establishing operational objectiveswith the inclu<strong>si</strong>on in the planning of thesupporting apparatus;- looking for permanent one-waycontinuous tr<strong>ai</strong>ning of teachers in the area ofjurisdiction and beyond, in the complementarydisciplines;- the de<strong>si</strong>gn and operation as <strong>si</strong>mple andas safely as pos<strong>si</strong>ble of the equipment, in settingnew standards of implementation in the specifictechnical processes guidelines;- the ability to identify new meansadapted to the new methods, which would havemaximum efficiency and a higher emulativelevel.Bibliography1.
