A Research Into The Key Issues Of Youth's Basic Training For Archery In China

The competitive level of youth archers plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of archery. Theory is the basis of practice. The study aims at youth's training theory and practice of archery in China by the use of the following methodologies:literature review, surveys and researches, tests and experiments, comparative study and mathematical statistics. Based on that, the conclusions have been drawn as follows:1. Youth archers in China still follow the three-level training methods, compared with Korean youth archers relying on schools and society, the way that Chinese youth archers are trained is more unitary. Youth archers begin their training at the age of12-14and have missed quality training time in coordination and flexibility2. Coaches of Chinese youth archers have rich experience concerning this field, but constrained by their knowledge structure, cognition of the law, concept of traditional training and training systems, their comprehensive coaching ability is comparatively weak.3. The single-cycle training mode for Youth archers is adopted mainly throughout the year. During the preparative stage, with technical training dominant, physical and mental training is a serious shortage, lacking operable methods and means.4. The proportion of high-level Chinese Youth archers presents the downward trend with them growing up, while in South Korea the trend is rising, which indicates the poor training quality in China with a small proportion of "high level"5. Compared with powerful South Korea, Chinese youth archers participate in less official competitions for the whole year. The participating archers'age limit as well as the distance settings are too "simple", seriously affecting the precise positioning and initiative of youth archers.6. With the lack of modern scientific equipments involvement, the supervision on youth archers'training is still based on subjective experience, and cannot meet the needs of the scientific training.7. The essence of the internal structure of technical movements is less recognized, especially the "quick launch","back muscle force" and other key techniques which have not yet been mastered.8. The basic technical movements of Archery in South Korea is almost the same with China, however, the two aspects—the sustained force transferring to "stay to go" and load conversion, do not appear in China' s theory of archery training, which is worth our deep thinking and research9. Compared with the physical training theory of South Korean Youth Archers, the knowledge of special physical needs in China's Archery should be improved. Chinese Youth archers lack the specialized methods and means. An experimental study found that South Korean youth archers' physical training improved the competitive ability of youth archers, which proved the scientificity and validity of their methods.
