Research On Competitive Characteristics Of Elite Male Team Athletes In China’s Student Orienteering Championship

The purpose of conducting research on the competitive characteristics of elite male team athletes in China’s student orienteering championships is to better promote the development of orienteering in China.The outstanding athletes of the elite men’s team in universities are members of the national team,and their overall level is close to the highest level of orienteering in China.However,at present,there is still a significant gap between the competitive level of elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships and that of international elite male orienteering athletes.This shows that there is still great room for development of the competitive level of elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships.Therefore,conducting a systematic study on the competitive characteristics of elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships is not only conducive to clarifying the current situation of competitive characteristics of elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships,but also provides scientific basis and guidance for the training and competition of Chinese male orienteering athletes,and can also provide assistance for the development of directional sports in China.Using the methods of literature review,field research,expert interviews,and mathematical statistics,this paper conducts a systematic study on the competitive characteristics of elite male team athletes in China’s student orienteering championships,and investigates the top eight athletes in the elite male team individual competitions(long distance,medium distance,and short distance)in China’s student orienteering championships,This article summarizes the competitive characteristics of elite male team athletes in China’s student orienteering championships,and on the basis of clarifying the insufficient competitive level of elite male team athletes in China’s student orienteering championships,puts forward countermeasures to improve the competitive skill level of elite male team athletes in China’s student orienteering championships.The research results show that:(1)The competition venue for short distance events is generally located in villages or schools,and the overall venue is relatively flat,with good runnability.The competition venue for medium distance events is generally located in mountain parks or areas with a large amount of forest cover outside the urban area,with complex and diverse terrain and landforms,rich vegetation,and poor runnability.The venue for long-distance events is the same as the venue for medium distance events,with the difference that checkpoints are more and more hidden.(2)The overall level of the elite male team in China’s student orienteering championships is gradually improving,and the competitive performance is showing an upward trend.The gap between athletes is gradually decreasing,and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.(3)The elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships have good endurance.In short distance events,athletes have the ability to quickly start,excellent explosive power,and flexible steering.Athletes in mid distance events exhibit excellent coordination,agility,and stable psychological qualities.In long-distance events,athletes demonstrate good off-road running rhythm,excellent checkpoint capture ability,and strong adaptability.When choosing a route,athletes will comprehensively consider their own advantages,technical control,obstacles,and terrain to choose the best route that can best exert their own advantages.(4)Compared with international excellent male orienteering athletes,the elite male athletes in the university elite group of China’s student orienteering championships lack aerobic endurance,map analysis ability,and psychological quality ability.(5)We can improve the competitive level of elite male athletes in China’s student orienteering championships by strengthening the training of athletes’ physical fitness and skills,cultivating athletes’ psychological quality,strengthening communication among orienteering teams in various universities,enriching athletes’ basic knowledge of orienteering,and increasing their competition experience.
