Effect of methods of teaching hurdling on changes in functional asymmetry of legs
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 63
Abstract
Aim of the study. Hurdling is a specific athletic discipline in which each limb (lower and upper) performs a different function. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of methods of teaching hurdling on spatial and temporal parameters (running time and the method of clearing hurdles, i.e., using either the left or the right leg).Material and methods. Study participants comprised 42 female university students of physical education, divided into three groups. The participants underwent a six-week hurdling training that involved the right lead leg (Group A) and both lead legs (Group B). The control group (Group C) underwent running exercises without hurdles. Before and after the experiment, all groups underwent three hurdling tests: one at a distance of 60 m and two at a distance of 150 m (with regularly and irregularly spaced hurdles). Running time, the number of steps taken between hurdles, and the choice of the lead leg were assessed.Results. An analysis of the obtained results shows that the choice of the hurdling teaching method affects trainees’ choice of the lead leg regardless of the race distance and hurdle spacing. In Group A, the percentage share of the right lead leg increased considerably (from 88.9% to 100%). In Group B, the change was unclear.Conclusions. Methods of teaching hurdling may find application in physical culture at school and in athletic training, primarily at the 400 m hurdling distance. The study showed that the process of teaching (training) may be a significant factor that contributes to the choice of the lead leg during 150-400 m hurdle races.
