CREATIVE CAPABILITIES OF PILOTS IN MOTORCYCLE RACE

 

A role of personality of sportsman is one of leading factors providing steady progress of sporting skill. Taking into account that the creative capabilities of personality provide terms for non-standard decisions in a training and the competition process, a goal being set – to carry out research of creative capabilities of sportsmen specialized in motor race.

A research hypothesis consists in supposition, that research of creative capabilities of personality in motorcycling makes it possible more highly qualitative to organize the process of selection and sporting orientation, optimize a educational-training process on the basis of individual creative capabilities of personality of sportsman, and similarly will help in the selection of professional teachers-trainers and correct choice of the teaching orientation of children and teenagers.

Activity of motosportsman takes place within the framework of the difficult system, consisting of three associate and interactive links: “a racer – motorcycle – route (motorcycle course)”. Co-operations of links in such system, in our view, is one of main tasks of educational-training process in motorcycling [1].

As every multivariable complex, the system “a racer – motorcycle – route” can be subdivided into subsystems. Basic of them – “a racer – motorcycle" and “motorcycle – route”.

In a subsystem “a racer – motorcycle” in a theoretically a motorcycle is an object of influence, driving like (in the most general approaching) foil and sword in the hands of fencer, the ball under the leg of footballer, etc. Therefore driving a motor cycle in the extreme terms of competitions requires from a man not only physical efforts but also enormous analyzing and synthesizing activity of brain, that it is related to the special loading on the psyche of sportsman. Thus, in co-operation of links of subsystem "man - a motor cycle" qualificatory is human factor.

In a subsystem a “motorcycle – route” the result of co-operation of links is determined by the laws of mechanics, because forces, participating in co-operation (tractive force, force of friction, centrifugal forces, force of inertia, etc.), is possible to measure by devices, to confront with the known formulas and define equivalent force, holding motor cycle on the road or expulsion it from a route. Thus, in this subsystem qualificatory is an objective factor [1].

Examining all system “a racer – motorcycle – route” and comparing ponderability objective and subjective factors in achievement of sporting result, it is possible to draw conclusion about the qualificatory role of human factor. In other words, a sportive result as a result of racer’s activity of racing motorcycle-driver is determined, foremost, by the complex of knowledge, abilities and skills, related to the technical state of motor cycle and its design features, by knowledge of technique of steering and tactical of sporting contest perception of a race situation, and similarly by an acceptance, in this connection, certain decisions on the motor cycle steering.

Thus, reliability of actions of racer as an operator of the system is a basic factor, rendering crucial influence on a sporting result and based on ability to find decisions in a non-standard situation, and also it is an orientation in a novelty and ability to realize deeply own experience, that corresponds to the concept of creative skill of personality according to conception of E. Fromm.

As it applies to the driver, the concept of reliability and refuse have more wide meaning, than for the mechanical or radio electronic systems. They embrace not only actually a refuse from an overload but also change of the state of organism of sportsman-driver and his pcychophysiologic indexes under influence of racing competition conditions.

Carried out researches of creative capabilities of sportsmen, specialized in motorcycle race allowed to reveal some tendencies in development of creative capabilities in general and its separate descriptions in particular. The results of estimation of level of creative skill with the use of questionnaire of N. F. Vishnyakova are presented in a table 1.

As it is obvious from a table 1, sportsmen, specialized in a motor cycle cross-country race possess the high index of creative thought, originality and sense of humour, that, in our view, can substantially have influence on a sporting result.

If one should examine intercommunication of sporting result and level of creative capabilities of the investigated pilots, then it is necessary to mark circumstance that sportsmen, possessing the higher indexes of creative capabilities, win higher places in different competitions. These conclusions are confirmed by the official records of competitions. Group of pilots, taking part in research did not have reliable distinctions in the level of the special and functional preparedness.

On the basis of foregoing, it is possible to draw conclusion that at relatively equal level of preparedness of pilots in motorcycling racing, the more best sporting results are shown by sportsmen, having the best indexes of creative capabilities, that confirms their meaningfulness in the system of preparation of sportsmen specialized in motorcycling races. Obtained data confirm the results of the earlier carried out researches  in motor-car sport [1, 2].
