Optimal Ranking of the Preparation Means in High Performance Athletic Training. The Experimental Research

Abstract

The paper presents the second part of preparing the athletic training using the Taguchi technique, namely the experimental research. For the athlete C.D., the main training means and their limit values were set. The experiment consisted in the athlete's training for 25 days with the same value of factors, as training means. The paper presents the development of the training as experiments, and the calculated values, the average, the variation, and the consistency of the results achieved in the trials, calculated in MS Excel, the effect of the training methods over the measured value (performance) and over the result consistency ratio. The training methods that have the largest influence over the athlete's training are pointed out. An improvement in the athlete's performance in the experimental year is obvious. The experiment defines the optimization of the athlete's training that has been the object of the study. The results are only relevant for her and can represent a foundation for her future training. In the case of the athlete that was the subject for this study, it has been determined the order of importance of the training means (factors) which influence the results of the trials.
