- Abstract
Getting (acquiring) and maintaining the athletic shape for a period that includes the most important competition of a training season are among the essential issues of modern sports training methodology. This is why I considered it useful to conduct a study on the dynamic of this process for one of the most successful female middle-distance runners in our country now. The scientific approach took the form of a case study on the dynamic of the main instruction parameters, as well as on the training demand throughout a macrocycle that comprises -- in its competition period -- the most important competition in the athlete's schedule: London 2012 Summer Olympics. The starting point of this scientific approach was the following hypothesis: the correct and judicious periodization of the main training means, as well as ensuring an optimum rapport between the main effort parameters (volume and intensity) guarantees an ideal athletic shape for a previously set date. The study is based on analyzing the weighting of the main factor (component)-oriented training throughout the entire 2012 season. After calculating the parameters of volume, intensity and training demand on the three main effort levels (anaerobic, mixed and aerobic) and the athlete's evolution during the most important competitions in the country and abroad, I was able to formulate assessments, conclusions that represent points of reference in the subsequent training of the athlete. One of the most important such conclusions is that the phenomenon of athletic shape is an outcome of the optimum rapport between the main effort parameters, considering that the training process is viewed as a whole, which means that recovering the effort capacity becomes an essential element of sports training.
