Observational Study Regarding the Development Level of 11-12 Year-Old Track and Field Selected Children

Abstract

Children's development is a very important aspect in their selection for professional sports. Track and field is an outdoor or indoor popular and accessible sport that ensures the basic training for most sports, teaching the child to run correctly, to move fast, and to become more resistant. The children's body is growing, thus their training must be according to their age. The children can easily adapt and sustain a relatively large volume of effort under the condition that they would not consume all their energy reserves and they would have enough time left for play and homework. The young body, during its development period, demands to be multilaterally stimulated, because only this way one can ensure a basis for future elite athletic performances and an excellent health.
