Questions and Answers

What is the term used to describe the training concepts of successful trainers and athletes that were emulated before the formal development of training science?

"Meisterlehren" (master teachings)

How did Emil Zatopek's training method evolve, and what impact did it have on the development of training theory?

Zatopek transitioned from continuous running to interval training, which became the 'Theorie des Intervalltrainings'.

Who were the key figures involved in the scientific refinement of interval training after Emil Zatopek's initial success?

Woldemar Gerschler and Herbert Reindell.

Starting as a 'Meisterlehre' what stages did the 'Theorie des Intervalltrainings' go through?

<p>First a 'Spezielle Trainingslehre' (athletics), then an 'Allgemeine Trainingslehre' (rowing, swimming, etc.), and finally a 'trainingswissenschaftliche Theorie'.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

  • The genesis of training science evolved from relying on successful coaches and athletes to incorporating scientific knowledge.
  • Initially, training methods were based on the concepts of successful coaches and athletes.
  • Athletes often emulated the training plans of top athletes and adopted the theories of their coaches.
  • Successful athletes transitioned into coaching roles after their careers, bringing their training methods with them.
  • Coaches like Woldemar Gerschler and Arthur Lydiard influenced long-distance runners, while Karl Adam shaped rowing training.
  • These training concepts are known as "master teachings".
  • With increased scientific knowledge, "special training theories" developed in various sports.
  • Emil Zatopek's interval training demonstrates the influence of scientific findings on training methodologies.
  • Zatopek initially focused on endurance runs, but later incorporated alternating fast and slow 200-meter intervals.
  • Zatopek's success with interval training led Woldemar Gerschler and Herbert Reindell to refine the method using physiological principles.
  • Interval training, originally in athletics, rowing, and swimming, proved applicable to all endurance sports.
  • "Master teachings" evolved into "special training theory", "general training theory", and eventually, training science.
  • The roots of training science lie in the pursuit of a scientifically grounded approach to competitive sports training.
  • Sports science utilizes various traditional sciences, as shown in an illustration that depicts the intersection of different scientific areas.
