Opportunities in the Explosive Power Development for Medicine Students in University Activities of Physical Education and Sports

Abstract

In the context of actual educational performance, we consider the explosive power development, for the medical students, a mean of achieving their future professional performance, conceived in this way within university activities of physical education and sports. Therefore, development of basic motor abilities and implicitly explosive power, has to start from the first year of study, and continue the following year. In our oppinion, by creating and developing a system based on specific means of sports games, we can successfully develop this motor ability, for medical students. The study has been developed during October 2014 – May 2015, on a number of 30 people (12 boys and 18 girls), representing 2 groups of students from Medical Faculty, 1st year of study. Data regarding the parameters of the explosive power development determined by the second test, support the hypothesis that by applying a special program based on using sports games within the University Activities of Physical Education and Sports, a visible progress is noticed, for this combined motor skill. The main conclusion drawn from this study was that the use of sports in the activities with medical students may represent an important milestone in the choice of teaching and training methods to achieve educational goals priority. At the same time, using sports games is also an extra motivation for medical students in relation to attending those teaching activities of physical education.
