In rowing the results are determined by the indicators of physical and functional capacity. Rower’s functional abilities are determined by a lot of factors, such as aerobic and anaerobic abilities, as well as technical, tactical, and psychological preparation (Skernevičius, 1997). Therefore, the biggest challenge in training process is to find optimal loads for each sportsman and team. Coaches and sportsmen understand that an increase in the amount of physical loads is limited, because human capacity and adaptation have their limits. The objective of the research was to explore the training process of the rowers of Olympic reserve in a yearlong period. Eight 18-21 year old rowers of Olympic reserve were tested. Preparation period of 2004-2005 season was analyzed. Tests for measuring physical development, physical and functional capacity were carried out three times. When yearlong period was analyzed, a conclusion can be drawn that physical loads of tested rowers were lower than the loads recommended by majority of researches. To conclude the testing results carried out at VPU Sport science institute and Vilnius sports medicine centre, rowers’ physical loads did not have much importance to physical development, but positively affected functional capacity of circulatory system. The indices of aerobic efficiency at critical intensity limit and at anaerobic threshold in competitive period did not reach appropriate level and was worse compared with indices measured at...

Statistic data analysis Results of the research: The purpose of the research was to analyze the conception and the content of moral education in pedagogical literature and to disclose a contemporary role of a teacher in the process of moral education. The research results reveal that pedagogical literature focuses mainly on the theoretical side of moral education, lacking in practical examples. The results show that the individuality of a teacher, his attitude towards work and motivation of pupils are of major significance for moral education.

Rhetoric is a flexible science, adjusting itself to the character of relevant ideas and wording of certain epoch. Rhetoric, as theory and practice of eloquence, has been relevant at all times. Goal of Master Thesis is to analyse the possibilities of eloquence education for pupils of 8-10 grades in lessons of technology. We were focused on the attempt to analyse the literature on given topic in pedagogical, psychological and philosophical aspects; later, with the aids of anonymous questionnaire, we tried to identify the opinion of pupils about a level of their own eloquence; we also wanted to summarize the viewpoints of pupils and teachers to the education of eloquence, and to discuss the possibilities of eloquence education in lessons of technology. In the literature part of work, the definition of eloquence education is analysed, links with other sciences are envisaged, education of language skills at school, problems of education of language skills and other aspects are reviewed. After analyzing the literature on the specified topic it became evident that different aspects of eloquence education for pupils are widely approached and described in different Lithuanian educational documents and scientific works. Nevertheless, as scientists maintain, eloquence education is insufficient. Based on the developed... [to full text]
