| The cultivation of prospective talents in track and field sports is a strategic problem. Only by paying attention to the elite echelon construction, can we keep the competitiveness in this area. With the transition of the economic system of our country and transition of the society, track and field sports will be developed in the pluralistic and market-based direction. The old system has operated for many years and now is facing new challenges and opportunities. Meanwhile, the athlete's cultivation must carry on the reform and innovation under the new situation in order to get motive force for the new sustainable development. Track and field sports are popular in Hebei province, and sports schools and school of the traditional sports items are important source channel for talents in this area. With the development of social economy, the already existing talents training system has been assaulted with the new problems. The source of students for sports school is insufficient; the outlet is difficult; and the level of training in general high schools and schools of special sports items is outstanding day by day. These problems greatly affect the improvement of track and field sports in Hebei province.This thesis investigates the present situation of prospective talents in track and field sports in Hebei province through literature review, questionnaire investigation, interview, statistic calculation and generalization method, finally arriving at the following conclusion: (1)The cultivation system of prospective talents in track and field sports in Hebei province is a holistic system, which obviously has closed and dependent characteristics, leading to the separation between physical training and education. This is unable to meet the needs of the society. The level of training in schools with traditional sports items is relatively low, leading to the unsatisfactory results. (2)The registered number of the prospective talents shows an obvious downward trend from2003 to 2006 in Hebei province, which is extremely unfavorable for selecting suitable talents. The registered athletes are mainly from 14 to 19 years old.(3) The number of successful prospective talents in track and field sports is relatively low.(4) Men's 400-meter race, triple jump, women's shot, men and women's discus, women's 400-meter hurdle race, woman's triple jump and man's javelin are the advantageous items among those talents in Hebei province. These items are distributed concentratively which needs further support.(5) The coaches for these prospective talents are mainly young and middle aged and have a two-dimensional structure, namely the academic credentials of the coaches in sports school are generally lower than the coaches in the middle school and the professional theory knowledge of the coaches in sports school is relatively low; the majority teachers also act as coaches in middle and primary schools, who are lacking in high-level sport experience. Coaches in sports school and in middle and primary schools have their respective advantages but they can not complement each other.(6) The degree of scientifically selecting and training prospective talents in Hebei province is relatively low. Thus we should strengthen the coach's training and the support of science research to training.(7) The contest purpose of the prospective talents mainly relies on the results and ranks. But the training and competition is not closely related. We should adjust the contest contents of 14-15 years old athletes, and increase the times of contest at various levels.(8) The source of funds is single, mainly relying on the allocation of government.According to the problems found during the process of investigation, this thesis proposes the following suggestions: perfection of training system of prospective talents; improvement in the scientific degree of training and selecting; rationalization of the contest system; pluralism of the source of funds; perfection of the incentive mechanism in the management of coaches and athletes. |
