What are ideal norms?
introduction
In addition to the structuring of sporting performances and the provision of authentic and meaningful diagnostic methods, the provision of comparative norms is an essential part of training science.
Using comparative norms (TARGET values), the individual athletic performance can be classified.
Norms of exercise science
- Ideal norms
- Statistical Norms
- Functional norms
Ideal standards - it couldn't be better!
Ideal norms are athletic performance values that are obtained from the world's best athletes in a sport.
Another possibility is to create ideal standards based on physical, rational, mechanical considerations.
In addition, ideal standards can also be tied to rules.
The ideal standards are explained below using examples.
Determination of ideal standards based on physical considerations
Example shot put:
At a push-off speed of 13.9m / s and a kick height of 2.20m the ideal departure angle of the ball is 7.26 kg 42°.
The maximum further can be physically calculated with this angle.
Determination of ideal standards based on the set of rules
Example reaction time for a 100 meter start:
The ideal reaction time at the start is 100ms. Response times below this value are considered a false start.
Determination of ideal norms based on top athletes
It is assumed that sporting performance, measured against top athletes, contains the standard for the highest performance.
Using the example of hurdling, a technique index of 1 second was determined for the world's best athletes.
The only problem is the transferability to weaker athletes.
Notice
Athletes can never achieve the ideal norm in all partial qualifications. (E.g. stride length and step frequency when sprinting result in an unattainable fabulous record).
