Sažetak
Although many ski instructors logically assume continuous integration of individual ski turns during skiing to be conditioned by a rhythmical movement there are no many published research investigating the influence of rhythm on ski knowledge acquisition. In order to assess the influence of rhythm and success of alpine ski learning we included 108 ski naive participants (74 male, 34 female ; age 22.8±1.33) and tested them on three different indoor tests: non- rhythmic drumming, drumming with hands and feet and Oreb’s rhythm test. Acquired alpine ski knowledge was assessed through grades obtained for demonstration of four elements of alpine ski technique: snowplough turn, basic turn, parallel turn and short turn. Statistically significant correlation was detected between results on non-rhythmic drumming and degree of acquired knowledge on elements snowplough turn, parallel turn and short turn (r=0.27, r=0.25, r=0.29 ; p<0.05 respectively), as well as with mean grade obtained for the mentioned elements (r=0.31 ; p<0.05). Moreover, statistically significant correlation was observed between success on Oreb’s test and knowledge of basic turn (r=-0.26 ; p<0.05). According to results, rhythmic coordination plays an important role in successful alpine ski learning. As expected, the importance of this ability grows during more demanding learning phases, which require enforcement of alpine ski in alternating cycles. In order to be more successful in teaching alpine ski beginners how to ski, it is desirable to use rhythmical coordination exercises.
