Study Of The Status Quo And Development Strategies Of Female Heptathlon In Zhejiang Province

The female heptathlon has always been the advantage for the Zhejiang team in China's track-and-field circle and has made great contributions to the all-round sports in China. The paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the status quo of the female all-round sports in Zhejiang province and makes corresponding suggestions on how to promote its development, by taking the tutors, athletes, and immediate leaders of Zhejiang's female team of all-round sports as the objects of study, and adopting such methods as literature review, questionnaire, expert interviews, mathematical statistics, and comparative analysis.The results indicate that although the position of Zhejiang's female team of all-round sports becomes less favorable than before, the top female athletes of all-round sports are still the best in China. The development strategy for Zhejiang's female all-round sports overemphasizes the orientation towards annual national games and thus the athletes distinguish themselves by their performance in those games. The tutors love their jobs ardently, dedicate a lot to their work and enjoy a strong spirit of respecting their work. They constitute a team of rich experience, good records of formal schooling and relatively young age. However, their professional job titles are not well distributed and the distribution structure is obviously ill-formed. The reserve strength in Zhejiang's female all-round sports is far from strong because the juvenile participants are seemingly many but actually not competitive enough. Many of them get themselves enrolled only for the sake of competition, and few of them can get the first eight places for they can hardly rival the older generation in competitive potentials. Thus, special emphasis needs to be placed on the grassroots training. There are still a big gap between the elite female athletes in Zhejiang province and those at the international level. The body heights, Quetelet index and legs heights of excellent heptathletes in Zhejiang Province accord with the model characteristics of outstanding heptathletes ,their even body heights slightly surpass the excellent heptathletes in the world ,and their Quetele index and heights of lower limbs are lower than those of the advanced heptathletes. The development strategies to overcome these shortcomings include: 1) it is necessary to hold firmly to the strategy of"winning glory in Olympic Games", think globally and implement a steady development of the competitive power of female athletes of all-round sports; 2) in order to emulate international counterparts, it is necessary to implement the strategy of"invigorating sports through science and technology"by strengthening relevant scientific research to promote scientific training, and tackling key problems in sports science and technology towards a breakthrough in competitive power for speed-oriented games; 3) it is necessary to strengthen scientific selection and planned training for reserve athletes by guaranteeing smooth pathways for athletes transfer from the grassroots units and encouraging a mode of paid transfer; 4) it is necessary to strengthen the facilitation function of various support systems.
