Abstract

The multiple aspects related to the importance of selection in the sports field are one of the fundamental requirements and, at the same time, the premises for successful results in the long term. The objectives of this study were to achieve a rigorous selection, adapted to the specifics of athletic events, considering a variety of parameters that, integrated, outline the general sports profile of the children included in the research.
The methods used included the initial and final testing of the students remaining in the study group, in order to obtain a more objective and precise assessment of the individual motor skills. Before deciding on the inclusion of children in the specialized training process, it is recommended that they follow a unitary basic training program, lasting between 1 and 3 months, to balance the initial level of motor development.
The results obtained highlight significant differences between the two analysed groups. The final mean values support the hypothesis that the students in group A (experimental), who benefited from an additional assisted sports training program, structured according to a SWOT analysis, obtained superior results compared to the control group. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed intervention and the relevance of a well-founded selection, followed by a period of preparation adapted to the specific needs of each child.
