DEVELOPMENT OF LONG TERM PERSEVERANCE IN RUNNERS

Vzdržljivost je kot motorična sposobnost odvisna od številnih dejavnikov in igra pomembno vlogo v večini športnih panog. Prav tako je pomembna v življenju vsakega posameznika, četudi ta ni športnik, saj v veliki meri vpliva na kakovost njegovega življenja v smislu telesnega in mentalnega zdravja ter druge pomembne dejavnike. Za optimalen razvoj vzdržljivosti so pomembni skrbno načrtovani treningi. Poznamo več vrst vzdržljivosti. Kot problem v svoji diplomski nalogi smo izbrali razvoj dolgotrajne vzdržljivosti tekača s ciljem opisati motorično učenje in faze v učnem procesu, osnove vzdržljivosti kot motorične sposobnosti, dejavnike, od katerih je ta odvisna, ter metode za razvoj dolgotrajne vzdržljivosti. Pri pisanju so nam bili v pomoč različnimi viri, predvsem pa tudi pogovori in nasveti izkušenih tekačev in strokovnjakov vzdržljivostnih panog. Vadba vzdržljivosti zahteva postopnost in individualizacijo, sploh kadar je govora o prvih korakih k tekaški vadbi, še posebno pri otrocih. Perseverance as a motoric faculty depends on numerous factors and plays and important role in most sports disciplines. It is just as relevant in the life of every individual, although he/she may not be a sports(wo)man, as its impacts greatly upon his/her corporeal and mental health and other important factors. Carefully planned trainings are relevant for perseverance development. A number of perseverance types may be discerned. As problem at this final paper, we chose the development of runner's long term perseverance, with a view to describing motoric learning and stages in the learning process, fundamentals of perseverance as motoric faculty, factors on which it depends, as well as methods for the development of long term perseverance. At composing this paper, various sources were of assistance, particularly interviews with and advice of experienced runners and experts in disciplines where perseverance is relevant. Exercise in perseverance presupposes a gradual escalation and individualization, particularly at initial steps in running exercise, most importantly among children.
