Analysis of same special features of work of swimming coaches with youth-team players

Diplomsko delo se loteva tematike dela trenerjev plavanja z mlajšimi selekcijami, pri čemer se posebej posveča raziskovanju razlik v načinu poučevanja pri trenerjih, vaditeljih in učiteljih plavanja. V teoretičnem delu je podrobneje predstavljena vadba plavanja mlajših selekcij, ki vključuje treninge, motivacijo, didaktične pripomočke ter razvijanje gibalnih sposobnosti. Poseben poudarek je namenjen trenerjem plavanja – njihovim delovnim področjem, nalogam, vlogam, ciljem, osebnosti, tipom in stilom njihovega vodenja. V empiričnem delu so predstavljeni rezultati kavzalno-neeksperimentalne metode raziskovanja. Na vzorcu 35 vaditeljev/učiteljev/trenerjev plavanja iz plavalnih klubov Fužinar Ravne na Koroškem, Velenje, Rudar Trbovlje, Hrastnik, Branik Maribor in Terme Ptuj je bila izvedena kvantitativna raziskava. Na podlagi zastavljenih hipotez je bilo ugotovljeno, da se trenerji plavanja v povprečju bolj poslužujejo strokovne literature kot vaditelji ter statistično značilneje bolj uporabljajo plavalne plovce kot učitelji/vaditelji plavanja. Najpomembnejši cilj vaditeljev, učiteljev in trenerjev plavanja je izboljšanje plavalnih sposobnosti, njihov najpomembnejši vidik dela pa razvoj gibalnih/motoričnih sposobnosti vadečih. Rezultati so pokazali, da otroke najbolj motivirajo žoge, plavalne deske in potopljive figurice, pri čemer trenerji slednje uporabljajo najmanj. Izkazalo se je tudi, da trenerji najpogosteje uporabljajo metodo maksimalnih hitrosti, neprekinjeno metodo za razvijanje vzdržljivosti pa uporabljajo bolj kot vaditelji in manj kot učitelji. Ugotovitve so pokazale tudi, da trenerji razvijajo vzdržljivostno moč v enaki meri kot učitelji in v manjši meri kot vaditelji.The theme of the diploma thesis is work of swimming coaches with junior teams, with special attention drawn to exploring the differences in the teaching methods of coaches, trainers and swimming instructors. In the theoretical part a more detailed swimming training of younger teams is presented. It includes training, motivation, didactic aids, as well as the development of movement skills. The emphasis is placed on swimming coaches - their work areas, tasks, roles, goals, personalities, types and styles of leadership. In the empirical part the results of the causal - non - experimental research method are presented. A quantitative survey was conducted on a sample of 35 instructors / teachers / coaches from the following swimming clubs: Fužinar Ravne na Koroškem, Velenje, Rudar Trbovlje, Hrastnik, Branik Maribor and Terme Ptuj. Based on the hypotheses, it was found that, on average, swimming coaches use professional literature more than instructors, and statistically significantly use kickboards more than swimming instructors / teachers. The most important swimming instructors’, teachers’ and coaches’ goal is swimming skills improvement, and their most important aspect of work is developing motor skills. The results show that children are most motivated by balls, swimming boards and diving swimming toys, the latter being least used by coaches. It also turns out that coaches use the high-intensity maximum speed method most often, while they use the continuous method of endurance development more often than instructors do and not as often as teachers do. The findings also showed that coaches develop endurance strength to the same extent as teachers and to a lesser extent than instructors
