Basque Pelota Technical Preparation Program, according to the characteristics of the competitive activity of the Paleta Cuero fronton specialty

Abstract

In the practice of Basque Pelota and its different modalities in the Cuban national team, certain inconsistencies were observed as a trend; a diagnosis pointed out the limitation that the Comprehensive Athlete Preparation Program up to the time of the investigation only covers up to modalities of the Cuban fronton. The above motivated the authors to direct the research in this sense, with the purpose of designing a Basque Pelota Technical Preparation Program, according to the characteristics of the competitive activity of the Paleta Cuero fronton specialty. To do this, empirical methods were applied: documentary review, interview, specialist criteria, measurement, scientific observation and percentage calculation as a statistical procedure. The sample of the Cuban national team was used, this research explains the fundamental characteristics of the competitive actions of the Paleta Cuero frontón specialty according to several performance indicators. In this way, it contributes to the updating and completion of the Comprehensive Athlete Preparation Program in its international competition modalities. On the other hand, coaches and managers of this sport are provided with a technical preparation program based on scientific research, which in its application promotes the improvement of the pedagogical process of the preparation of pelota players.
