| With the development of the times,orienteering has become an important sport that has been highly valued by the education and sports sectors.It is not only included in the whole process of compulsory education to higher education stage,but also included in the development plan of sports industry.As a unique sport,sprint orienteering occupies an important position in the development of the project.Its unique rules,norms,competition,organizational form and world ranking all reflect its special characteristics and occupy a dominant position in the competition and promotion of orienteering in China.From the existing research,there are few studies on the core competitive ability model of orienteering from an overall perspective.The lack of research on the core competitive ability of sprint orienteering has also limited the further development of athletes’ competitive ability to a certain extent.Therefore,treating sprint orienteering as an independent research area not only helps to better understand its development trend,but also is a necessary step to explore orienteering in depth.This study takes the construction of the core competitive ability model of sprint orienteering as the research object.Using the literature method,expert interview method,Delphi method,AHP-FCE method,mathematical statistics method and logical analysis method,the core competitive ability model of sprint orienteering is constructed based on the analysis of the characteristics of the project,and the model is initially corroborated through the form of competition practice.Based on the model constructed in this study,the training mechanism of core competitive ability in sprint orienteering is analyzed to guide the training practice.The main research findings are as follows.(1)Under the existing competition conditions of sprint orienteering,the map and the artificial difficulty of the event have put forward higher requirements for some of the athletes’ competitive abilities such as skills and physical abilities.(2)The core competitive ability model of sprint orienteering was constructed,including 4primary indicators,10 secondary indicators and 35 tertiary indicators.The primary indicators are physical ability,skills,mental ability and motor intelligence.The secondary indicators include 10 indicators of endurance quality,map reading technology,route selection technology,speed and agility quality,psychological quality,checkpoint capture technology,etc.The tertiary indicators include 35 indicators such as attack point technique,aerobic endurance,mixed oxygen ability,movement speed,anaerobic endurance,balance speed,attention,reaction speed,and map reading technique during exercise.(3)The weights and ranking of each subordinate index of the model were determined,and the first-level indexes were ranked according to their weights as skill(0.4465),physical ability(0.3592),mental ability(0.1190),and motor intelligence(0.0754).(4)Using the core competitive ability model of sprint orienteering,the athletic ability of some outstanding athletes was evaluated,which initially confirmed the feasibility of the model and the accuracy of the index evaluation,which can objectively reflect the differences in the athletes’ core competitive ability and can provide a theoretical basis for the athletes’ evaluation.(5)The core competitive ability model of sprint orienteering was analyzed and discussed,and the training mechanism of physical ability,skills,mental ability,and motor intelligence was clarified,and the overall training idea of "highlighting the superiority of technical and physical ability and respecting individual differences" was proposed. |
