Summary
An athlete is always trained with rigor of no end, day and night, with the purpose not only to better himself, challenge his own potentials and limits, but also to let the world admires the performance that the athlete works so hard to demonstrate on the playground by expressing a combination of dynamics and beauty. An athletic meeting is to focus on the contests with the athletes as the leading characters. Under the atmosphere of an open, fair and impartial competition, each athlete is engaged in each contest. Also with the help of the environment of the whole contest, he can fully develop and enhance all of his potentials, and create his own records. However, whether the time management of the contests in the athletic meeting is being prepared and planned completely and how well that the contests are held can also influence the performances of the athletes. So that is something that we as a coach, player, referee, sportsman and a competition-related personnel could not overlook with carelessness. Therefore, this study is to explore the time recording for each item related to the course of the swimming contest in 2001 National Athletic Meeting in order to understand the orientation of the time in the whole course of the contest. With SAS 8.2 FOR WIN, a software for statistics, to conduct descriptive statistics, t-test and single factor analysis of the variance, it is found that: First, during the course of the contest, in terms of the time for each stage and its percentage over all, the “examination stage” is of the most time (74.93%); then comes the “contest stage” (21.59%), the one of the little time is the “award-giving stage” (3.48%). Second, for items of the individual contest, there is not much difference between the “examination stage” and the “contest stage” in terms of the groups and runs. Third, as for the preliminary contests and the finals, some significant variances are found on the “time switching between runs”. Fourth, for the timetables that no items for each individual contest is listed, the time for “15 minutes before contest” is of significant differences in terms of groups and runs. According to the findings, it shows that should the timetable for each contest of the swimming contest course be not listed specifically, the players would have to go to the examination place in advance in order to wait for the results of the examination. Thus, a swimming contest is required of a timetable with each individual contest listed specifically, even which shall be applied to each group of the preliminary contest based on the competitive principles of being fair and impartial. The swimming contest of a national athletic meeting in the future can refer to each data provided by this study for a complete schedule of the whole course before the contest so that the competition can be conducted by the given time schedule. The final destination of this study is to make the swimming contestants be prepared before the contests in order to maximize their performances. Furthermore, it can then increase the standards of our ability to host a swimming contest and complete the quality of such competition.
