Összefoglaló A magyar úszósportban, a gyermekek 7-8 éves kortól részt vesznek hivatalos versenyeken, ahol korosztályonként éremdíjazásban részesülnek. 2012-től már a 9-10 éves gyermekek is országos bajnokságon úsznak, és bajnokokat avatnak ebben a korosztályban. Havi rendszerességgel szerepelnek versenyeken és mérettetik meg magukat társaikkal szemben. Vizsgálatunkban arra kerestük a választ, hogy az utánpótlás korú úszók hogyan készülnek, milyen edzéseket végeznek a versenyeken való eredményes szereplés érdekében. Kíváncsiak voltunk, hogy a gyermekek által teljesített edzések összhangban vannak-e, a szakirodalom által ajánlott edzésekkel. A bajnoki ponttáblázat szerint, korosztályonként 5 legeredményesebb klub edzői által kitöltött kérdőíveken keresztül 17 úszószakosztály munkájába nyertünk betekintést. A felmérés eredményeit összehasonlítottuk a szakirodalom által optimálisnak tartott adatokkal. Azt tapasztaltuk, hogy az utánpótlás korú úszók 13 éves korig többször, nagyobb terjedelmű, hosszabb időtartalmú edzéseket végeznek, mint ahogy azt a szakirodalomban javasolják. A gyermek korosztályban a vizsgálati eredmények közelítenek a javasolthoz, de még mindig az értékek felső határán, vagy a fölött mozognak. A serdülőkortól kezdve nem tapasztaltunk eltérést az ajánlott értékek és a vizsgálati eredmények között. Következtetéseink szerint a magyarországi úszók 13 éves korig testi és szellemi érettségüknél nagyobb terhelésnek vannak kitéve, ami befolyásolhatja a felnőttkori maximális teljesítőképességet, terhelhetőséget, eredményességet. Kulcsszavak: úszás, utánpótláskor, edzésmódszer

Összefoglaló Írásunk a sportkörnyezet versenyszerűen, valamint szabadidős sporttevékenység során érzékelt motivációs környezetet igyekszik bemutatni és összehasonlítani úszás sportágban. A H-PMCSQ-2 kérdőívvel készített felmérésünket az utánpótlás, serdülő és ifjúsági versenyúszók, valamint szabadidős úszóedzéseken rendszeresen részt vevők között végeztük el. Eredményeink alapján megállapítható, hogy a versenyszerűen úszók értékei minden esetben magasabbak a szabadidős úszókénál. A különféle céllal végzett úszótevékenység során a környezeti hatások, melyek hatással vannak a személyiség fejlődésére, különböznek. Summary The aim of this research to present sport environment, compare competitive swimming and recreational swimming activities in the perceived motivational environment. The survey was the H-2 PMCSQ questionnaire for youth, adolescence and youth competitive swimmers and recreational swimming training sessions were carried out on a regular basis between participants. The results based on, that competitive swimmers values are always higher than those of the recreational swimmer. The environmental effects during different swimming activities that influence the development of personality, are various. Keywords: swimming, motivation, sporting environment, youth sport

It is widely known that motivation plays a critical role in getting athletes to achieve their full potential. However, little is known with regards to motivation as a function of relative age in junior competitive swimmers. The aim of the present research was to investigate associations between motivation, perceived motivational climate, and relative age among junior competitive swimmers (N = 235; 117 females; Mean age = 11.44, SD = 0.57 years). Although we expected relatively younger athletes to present lower motivation than their older peers, findings showed that swimmers in our study had similar motivation orientation, irrespective of their birth period (i.e., first, second, third, fourth quarter). Findings suggest professionals should aim to build intrinsic motivation regardless of birth period, as the shaping of a stabilized intrinsic motivation at junior age can increase the chances of success for the most talented swimmers.

Based on our empirical research, through the analysis of the birthdates of young competitive swimmers, the present paper aims to examine the system of talent selection and management in Hungarian competitive swimming complemented with a new element. The research population consisted of the registered junior competitive swimmers participating in the new talent management program of the Hungarian Swimming Association (N=235; average age: 11.44) due to the decision of the Coaches’ Committee. Our research was based on the analysis of documents and databases. Besides the descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests and the Kruskal-Wallis test were applied. The results show that swimmers born in the first three months of the year are still more likely to be recruited in the program than their relatively younger counterparts. Furthermore, as a potential effect of the new program, the dominance of the first quarter of the year is also characteristic among those eligible for the next level of talent management. The new selection system of Hungarian swimmers is still highly sensitive to the relative age. Thus, it is recommended to further investigate the functioning of the new talent management program in terms of selection and success.

In 2017, the 19th World Swimming Championship will be organized in Hungary. Up to now, many people have already been working with swimmers to achieve good results. However, in the next period they must work even harder to ensure that the national swimmers of a country as small as Hungary can achieve the outstanding results of their predecessors. Since high-level competitions in swimming have become more intense, innovations including scientific studies are needed during preparation for the event. The purpose of this paper is to present the major results of an independent study carried out by the authors about the relative age of the best Hungarian swimmers with the aim of contributing to their preparation. The research population consisted of selected age groups of swimmers registered by the Hungarian Swimming Association (N=400). The method for data collection was an analysis of documents. To evaluate the data, the Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. The results are presented according to the period of the competitor’s date of birth, gender, and age group. The results confirm only partly the hypothesis that people born in the first quarters of the year play a dominant role in Hungarian national swimming teams. In the conclusion, the authors recommend further research on relative age in swimming and in other sports.

... The first one is being task-oriented (task/mastery), the second one is being ego-oriented (ego/performance). As a result, in line with other authors (Trenz & Zusho, 2011), we differentiated between Task-oriented and Ego-oriented training environments during our previous research (Nagy, Sós, Ökrös, & Szájer, 2014) and the current one as well. ...

... In order to map participants' motivational orientation, we applied the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) questionnaire created by Pelletier and colleagues (1995). The Hungarian version was created by Tsang and colleagues (Tsang, Szabó, Soos, & Bute, 2005) and we used in our previous motivational research (Nagy, Ökrös, Sós, Földesi, & Egressy, 2016). ...

... In recent years, however, there has been progress in Hungary, with the youngest age group championships being divided into smaller regions [24]. This division helps to avoid the overload and pressure caused by the compulsion for results, fulfils the recommendations related to relative age in Hungarian youth training [25][26][27], and provides more children with the opportunity to experience success, thus easing their staying in the sport. ...

... Para a distribuição dos atletas para os diferentes sexos, os resultados encontrados também corroboram parcialmente os resultados de estudos que avaliaram as categorias competitivas inicias 21,22,25,27,28,30 , já que nesses estudos houve uma tendência de redução dos EIR ao longo das categorias competitivas, o que não foi verificado em nossos resultados. Porém não corroboram os achados de Ferreira et al. 23 para o sexo feminino e os achados de Costa et al. 31 que não identificaram assimetria na distribuição do nascimento de atletas que participaram do campeonato mundial em 2013. Assim como para a amostra geral, acreditamos que pelo fato de serem avaliados os oito melhores atletas de cada categoria, os EIR seriam potencializados pela influência da necessidade de resultados positivos, motivando a seleção de atletas nascidos nos primeiros meses do ano, o que refletiria na manutenção desses efeitos nas categorias mais avançadas 29 . ...
