Popis | Trends in rapid development of the majority of sport disciplines are reflected in the pressure on the performance of adolescent athletes, which leads to increased strain during training. Physical activity of adolescent athletes is thus associated with positive but also with negative impact on their physical and mental health. The primary purpose of the study was to map the occurrence of possible overtraining in adolescent athletes in the Czech socio-cultural environment and the relationship between the level of perceived load and intensity of training preparation. The secondary aim was to verify the basic psychometric characteristic of the method used. Study brings interesting results concerning the impact of strain perceived not only immediately after performance (lack of energy, muscle pain, heaviness in extremities, inability to eat well) but also 24 hrs. after (lack of energy and appetite are followed by inability to concentrate and lack of interest in everyday activities). Signs of extreme overtraining were not found and neither was a statistically significant relationship between the intensity of training and the measure of perceived strain. Both methods used showed good internal consistency and results of mutual correlation confirm their suitability and utility in research. |
