This is a course outline for the first semester of movement training for beginning performers in theatre, part of a two-year course of study based on the Becque-Todd method of movement development. Emphasis is on a psychophysiological approach to developing new motor habits. The introduction presents the history, background, basic premises on which the course is based, and the techniques and tools used. Each subsequent chapter represents a unit of work on a specific problem, each taking one or more class periods.

Efektyvus didelio meistriškumo sprinterių treniruotės valdymas galimas tik turint objektyvią informaciją apie įvairius pasirengimo aspektus. Tai reikšmingi veiksniai, tiesiogiai įtakojantys sprinterio rezultatą. Mes savo darbe pabandėme netik palyginti ir išsiaiškinti geriausių pasaulio bei Lietuvos trumpųjų nuotolių bėgikų privalumus bei trūkumus, bet ir pabandėme tyrimais atrasti pratimus, kurie padidintų sportininkų bėgimo greitį bei greičio prieaugį. Mūsų darbo tikslas - išanalizuoti didelio meistriškumo trumpųjų nuotolių bėgikų bėgimo greičio įvairiomis sąlygomis rodiklius. Darbe iškėlėme šiuos uždavinius:1) išanalizuoti geriausių pasaulio ir Lietuvos trumpųjų nuotolių bėgikų bėgimo greičio skirtumus bėgant 40m nuotolį; 2) išanalizuoti bėgimų greičio skirtumus bėgant 5 kartus po 40m per 5min poilsio; 3) išanalizuoti bėgimo greičio skirtumus bėgant su sunkmena; 4) išanalizuoti bėgimo greičio skirtumus bėgant su palengvinimu; 5) išanalizuoti bėgimo greičio skirtumus po jėgos ugdymo treniruotės; 6) išanalizuoti skirtingų treniruočių mikrociklų įtaką trumpųjų nuotolių bėgikų bėgimo greičiui. Mūsų darbe buvo atliekami 6 tyrimai. Pirmojo tyrimo metu buvo lyginami Lietuvos ir pasaulio geriausių trumpųjų nuotolių bėgikų 40 m bėgimo greičio rezultatai kas 10 m. Antrojo, trečiojo, ketvirtojo ir penktojo tyrimo metu tiriamieji prieš treniruotę ir po jos bėgo 40 m, tik skyrėsi taikytas krūvis treniruotėje. Buvo taikytos tokios treniruotės: a) 5 kartai po 40 m kas 5min poilsio; b)...

These are very important factors, which influence sprinter’s result directly. In our work we tried not only to compare and find out advantages and disadvantages of the best sprinters in Lithuania and the world but also, according to our researches, to find out exercises, which increase runners speed and acceleration. The aim of this work is to analyse the indicators of running speed on various conditions of great technique short – distance runners. Following tasks have been set: 1) to analyse Lithuania’s and world’s best sprinters speed differences in 40 metres distance; 2) to analyse speed differences while running 40 metres distance 5 times with 5 minutes brakes; 3) to analyse speed differences while running with weights; 4) to analyse speed differences while running with abatement; 5) to analyse speed differences after strength training; 6) to analyse the influence of different training micro cycles on sprinters’ speed. 6 researches have been accomplished. In the first research, the world’s and Lithuania’s best sprinters results of 40 metres distance every other 10 metres were compared. In the second, third, fifth research, subjects of investigation had to run 40 metres distance before and after the training, only conditions of training were different. Following training systems were applied: a) 5 times of 40 metres distance with 5... [to full text]

There are few scientific studies, that research the problems of the high skills in the average distance runners training in Lithuania. M. Norbutas is a Lithuanian record - breaker in 800m distance running. And he was the first Lithuanian, who entered a contest in World Championship and the Olympic Games. M. Norbutas annual training cycle in the run – up to the World Championship in San Denis (the season of years 2002 – 2003) are analyzed in herein work. Also the training technique, the strain alternation in the annual training cycle and the dynamics of the contest score in the Athens Olympics (the season of years 2003 – 2004) are analyzed. And similarly, the best world runners of the average distance: the world record – breaker in 1500m distance running, the champion of Athens Olympics in 1500m and 5000m distance, the Maroccan H. El. Geurroj (preparation for the World Championship in 1997), the champion of Athens Olympics in 800m distance, the Russian Y. Borzakovskiy (preparation for the World Championship in closed accommodation in 2001), the Olympic champion of 1500m distance running in Barcelona and the European record – breaker, the Spaniard F. Cacho (preparation for the World Championship in Barcelona in 1992). The training techniques and the structure of micro cycles of those sportsmen are compared to the techniques of M. Norbutas. The physical development, the physical qualification, the functional alternation of a fitness rate in the run – up to the Olympic Games in... [to full text]

The research project investigated the basic detective training courses presented in the two training institutions of the Western Cape Province namely Paarl Detective Academy and Philippi In-Service Training Centre. The two courses that were researched were the Detective Learning programme of Paarl and the Introduction to Crime Investigation of Philippi. The focus of the research was on the training techniques used in the facilitation of these programmes. The research was done with interviews of focus groups of learners that were attending the courses. Individual interviews were held with trainers of both the training institutions. Observation was done in the classes at the two training institutions during the facilitation of the courses. Although the training techniques could be more advanced, other aspects were identified that was of a bigger concern for the learners and trainers alike. The recommendations drawn from conclusions of the data obtained may offer some solutions to the identified problems. / Criminology / (M. Tech. (Policing))
