Safe in Sport

The SAFE IN SPORT project target 44 trainers and coaches from different sport clubs, athletic, judo, gymnastic, volleyball and basketball, from 3 countries Bulgaria, Turkey and Croatia. The topic of project was: Protect athletes, especially the youngest, from health and safety hazards by improving training and competition conditions.Increased requirements of the training process in order to achieve better results carry a risk of disorders of vital functions in the body. Ignorance of the basic principles of the training process - the frequency, intensity and duration, combined with inadequate preparedness of athletes and their objective possibilities cause greater number of pathophysiological changes in the body.The objective of the project was to point out the biological age as an important determinant of motor achievements of children in the age range 10-16 years. In addition, we want to contribute to a better understanding of the ways in which plyometric training changes jumping and sprinting performance in children of different biological age. The selection of children or young athletes based on biological age contributes to the overall sports development, within which the care about health and prevention of injury of young people plays an important role. For this reason, and the fact that at the present time young talented athletes face increasing demands not only for achieving top results, but also for the realization of this goal in the shortest possible time, constant education of sports and sports health professionals is crucial.
