Diagnostic Procedures in Sport Games

The increase in competition efficiency and high performance achievements has always been the ultimate goal in sports training. Because of that goal, it is important to gain an insight into the actual state of relevant abilities, characteristics and knowledge about athletes. That is why morphological, functional, biochemical, biomechanical, basic and specific motor, social and physiological indicators should be indentified and monitored. Those indicators are the basis for a diagnosis of the sport conditioning status. They provide programming and control of the traning process with adequate workloads, means and methods. Numerous competitors in most modern sports or events are subjected to the treatment of different diagnostics procedures: anthropometric measurements, functional diagnostics, biomechanical diagnostics, motor diagnostics and psychosocial diagnostics. Anthropometry is an integral part of contemporary diagnostics procedures for the sportsmen fitness evaluation. The data about specific physiological and biochemical responses to training or competing activity loads in a particular sports event are obtained in the context of functional diagnostics procedures. The goal of biomechanical diagnostics is not only the determination of certain kinematic, kinetic or electromyographic indices of the sport locomotion, but it is important because of its contribution to the complete analysis of the whole sports event or single technical-tactical element. Diagnostics of motor abilities provides information on the level of basic and specific condition abilities pertaining respectively to the group of quantitative (strength, speed, endurance, flexibility) or qualitative ones (co- - ordination, agility, accuracy, balance). The training process is precisely directed at developing and maintaining the motor component of the athlete's condition. The dosage and distribution of the training operators aimed at the development of sportsmen's fitness depend on the diagnosed initial status of the basic and specific motor abilities. Also, psychosocial diagnostics is becoming more important for the athlete's conditioning status evaluation. A diagnosis of an athlete's readiness or preparedness for the competition becomes undoubtedly one of the substantial activities in the process of sports promotion and sports performance improvement.
