METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS IN THE SELECTION AND SCREENING OF YOUNG RUNNERS
Abstract
This article examines the relevance, theoretical foundations, and practical methods of assessing psychomotor skills in the process of selecting and screening young runners. Psychomotor abilities—components such as speed, strength, agility, balance, and spatiotemporal perception—are key factors for success in running sports. The research explores modern methods for measuring and evaluating the psychomotor development of young athletes, as well as ways to improve the effectiveness of their selection. The article covers the adaptation of the psychomotor testing system to age categories, criteria for interpreting results, and methods for applying the obtained data in the selection process.
