Purpose: Highlighting the particularities of planning the basic methodological components in the specific training of Junior I dancers. Material. Organizing a comparative study during the period 2011- 2013, based on the analysis of the key methodological components in the specific training of Junior I dancers. The research was carried out in „Step in Two" Sports Club of Bucharest with the help of a group of 12 dancers of 12 to13 years old. The experimental methodology includes the following components: competition calendar, performance and training objectives, dynamics of physical fitness, structure of the basic training sessions, training requirements, directing and supervising the training sessions etc. Results. The share of the sports training components throughout the training year 2012 - 2013 was highlighted in comparison with the period 2011-2012, as follows: 26.36% of the training methodology was allocated to the technical training (29.87%); 19.88% (22.58%) to the artistic training, 21.50% (22.58%) to the physical training, 10.10% (14.58%) to the psychological training, 2.8% (3.58%) to the tactical training, 1.16% (2.63%) to the theoretical training and 17.00% (2.87%) to the integral training. As for the training of Junior I dancers for the Romanian National Championships (macro-structure 1), March 2013 compared with 2012, the share of the training components had the following values: 30.35% technical training (32.85%), 22.0% physical training (24.12%), 19.54% artistic training (21.83%), 11.64% psychological training (13.72%), 2.91% tactical training (3.33%), theoretical training 1.25% (1.66%) and integral training 12.27% (1.66%). Regarding the training for the German Open Championships (macro-structure 2), September 2013 in comparison with 2012, the integral training increased up to 23.16% (4.49%), the psychological training was 10.53% (15.73%), technical training 21.35% (25.84%), artistic training 20.53% (23.60%), physical training 20% (21.35%); 1.05% (4.0%) each were allocated for the tactical and the theoretical training. Conclusions. The comparative analysis of the training experimental methodology over the period 2011 - 2013 and the assessment of the results obtained by the dancers in the target competitions point out the share assigned to the components of sports training and the importance given to the integral training. A good analysis of sports training components in dance sport provides the favorable premises for including in the specific training methodology the key elements that condition the manifestation of the performance capacity and the achievement of superior results in the competition.

Objective. Creation of action modules specific to dance sport training intended to develop the psychomotor skills of junior I dancers (12 - 13 years old). Methods. The experiment was conducted from March 2010 to February 2011 within the „Step in Two" Sports Club of Bucharest, with a group of 12 dancers aged 12 to 13 years. The study consisted in the implementation of an experimental module of training in dance sport, aiming at the influence on the development of the psychomotor skills. The structure of the module included four variants of content, in which the lesson means were grouped in 6 categories, with distinct objectives: dance specific training means with restricted movement of certain segments; means of dance without visual control; means of dance combining the dynamic actions with the static positions; means of dance for the development of the coordination in strength regime; means of dance involving the execution of unusual motor tasks, with visual contact; means of dance for the training of rhythm capacity. Results. In the 155 lessons included in the experimental training, the means of dance sport were distributed as follows: 43 lessons or 27.74% in the first variant; 37 lessons (23.87%) in the second variant; 33 lessons (21.29%) in the third variant and 42 lessons in the fourth variant, namely 21.10% means. The variants are different from one another by the selection of the category of means that address the psychomotricity, by the unilateral or mixed approach of the dance sections, by the selection of the means belonging to one category or another (according to the objective), by the dosing of the effort depending on the training period and the time left until the competition, by the adaptation of the lessons content to dancers' reaction. Conclusions. The use of the specific means for the development of the psychomotor skills in junior 1 dancers (aged 12 to 13 years) contributed to the increase of the tactile sensitivity of the palms, the self-perception of the body and the connection with the partner for providing information in real time regarding the dance steps and figures.

Objectives. Organization of the basic specific training sessions with technical-physical, artistic-physical and technical-choreographic artistic content in C class meant to create the performance basis and to develop the motor skills specific to Standard and Latino dances, taking into account the particularities of the 12 to 13 years old dancer and the structure of the methodological module in the double macro-cycle of training. Methods. Organization of an ascertaining experiment during the period 2011- 2012 for the analysis of the basic methodological components in the specific training of junior 1 dancer. The research was conducted in „Step in Two" Sports Club of Bucharest, with a group of 12 dancers aged 12 to 13 years. The ascertaining experimental module includes the following components: competitions calendar, performance and training objectives, dynamics of the specific fitness, structure of the basic training sessions, training requirements, guidance and control of the training sessions etc. Results. The study highlights the share of sports training components throughout the training year 2011 - 2012: a share of 29.87% of the training methodology was allocated to the technical training, a share of 22.58% to the physical training, 22.58% to the artistic training, 14.58% to the psychological training, 3.58% to the tactical training and 2.63% to the theoretical training. The integral training had a share of 2.87% as it was addressed during the precompetitive mezzo-structures only. Regarding the preparation of junior I dancers for the Romanian National Championships 2011-2012, the training sessions included a share of 32.85% technical training, 24.12% physical training, 21.83% artistic training, 13.72% psychological training, 3.33% tactical training and 1.66% theoretical training, while the integral training was not a priority and represented only 1.66% of the competitive mezzostructure. Conclusions. The analysis of the training experimental module over the period 2011 - 2012 and the evaluation of the results obtained by the dancers in the target-competitions demonstrate that the performance objectives were achieved as the dancers succeeded to qualify for the quarter-finals of the international competitions in which they participated.

Objective. The purpose of this work is to highlight the progress made in the development of strength motor skill in order to obtain some guide results, registered for the main muscle groups involved in the training of the junior bodybuilders. Methods. A study was organized to that end in the fitness and bodybuilding gym of Pescariu Club. A number of 12 athletes - beginner bodybuilders - of 17-18 years old participated in this research. Research methods used: review of the specialized literature, pedagogical observation, method of tests, statistical and mathematical method and graphical representation of data. The training program was applied throughout the entire period of the study, namely from October 2013 to September 2014. The investigated group was submitted to a number of seven test events for specific motricity: barbell bench press, seated behind the neck press, standing EZ-bar curls, lying EZ-bar French press for triceps muscles, bar squats, seated calf raises on machine, barbell dead lifts. Results. The lessons were carried out according to the experimental curriculum proposed by this research and prove a significant positive influence in all the physical test events, leading to obvious differences between tests at the end of the experiment. This conclusion is supported by the significant differences between the arithmetical means of the tests at P<0.001. We are able to draw the conclusion that the programmed workouts can be successfully used in the training of the juniors, which proves that the methods implemented during a calendar year can have a benefic influence on the development of the strength motor skill. Conclusions. The selection of some methodical procedures for strength development by using bodybuilding specific means resulted in the improvement of the strength development process during the workouts.

Problem Statement. The current performances in dance sport bring to light the amazing level of human motor excellence as a synthesis of the manifestation of the bio-psycho-motor skills with ample resonance in sports show. Given the place and importance of the psychomotor skills for the technical and artistic achievement of dance steps and figures, we are interested in estimating the dance influence on these components of junior's motor skills, both as a result of the specific training and a conditional support of dancer's capacity for performance. Purpose. This paper highlights the development of laterality through the efficient use of the specific means with influence on psychomotor skills in dance sport at Junior I level (12-13 years old). Methods. The research was conducted in „Two Step" Dance Sport Club of Bucharest. The experiment aimed to estimate the influence of dance on the psychomotor skills at the age of 12 to 13 years. This approach lasted for a period of 12 months, from March 2010 to February 2011. During this research there were applied 3 tests for manual laterality and 4 tests for podal laterality. In the experimental group, specific means of dancing (grouped into actuation systems) were introduced for strengthening the technique and developing the psychomotor skills, in addition to the specific means of training in dance sport. Results. The results obtained by the dancers of the experimental group prove the advantages of sports training planning which implies the rational combination of the exercises intended for the development of psychomotor skills. This fact demonstrates the positive influence of sports dance on the improvement of manual and podal laterality indicators. Discussion. The value of manual ambidexterity was identified as smaller at the beginning of the research - 33.33%, compared to the value of 58.33% recorded at the end of the experiment. The performance difference of 25.0% for the share of ambidextrous subjects in the two tests proved that dance sport motor tasks in the experimental group were significantly influenced in terms of development of laterality ability depending on the psycho-functional progressive dominance of the brain hemispheres manifested by using the means of dance sport. Conclusions. Dance sport, through the specificity of the motor actions of its component means, has a positive influence on the development of the manual and podal laterality. The research confirmed that many of the right-handed dancers shown a predilection to the equal use of both hands in dance sport. The quality of podal laterality with the right foot has a higher calculated value, of 83.33% in initial testing, while in the final testing there is a decrease up to 75%; the increase in favor of ambidexterity is from 8.33% up to 16.67% at the end of the pedagogical experiment.
