  • Cycling as a sport-recreational activity
    Tešanović, Gorana ; Jovanović, Saša
    Recreational activities with their resources, facilities and methods have a preventive effect on the occurrence of which reduce working capacity, distorts health and lead to the emergence of the loco ... motor system dysfunctions. According to the World Health Organization (Global recommendations on Physical activity for health, WHO, 2008/2013), physical activity in adults include activity during leisure time, transport (walking or cycling), activities at work, housework, play, sports, organized and individual exercise and all activities carried out within the family, school and community sports. Cycling grows in popularity in a recreational activity practice, it is preferred that is performed in nature, fresh air where the area is varied configuration, and the use of large muscle groups enhances and makes cycling one of the most widespread form of recreation in the world. The study was conducted with 12 subjects, aged 35 ± 6 months that during the investigation were not involved in any other sports and recreational activities. Prior to conducting the recreational program is determined initial state variables of the functional capacity and body composition of the patients (Institute of Sport Faculty physical education and sport, University of Banjaluka), and the value of the blood parameters (Konzilijum laboratories), and after the implementation of the program found is the final state. Recreational Training is programmed for a period of twelve weeks and is divided into three basic macro cycle, which consisted of four micro cycles - three micro cycle building, neighborhood regeneration. All macro cycle were programmed so that each contained three micro cycle training. The fourth week of the macro cycle represent all the weeks of regeneration, which consisted of leisurely ride on the flat for 60 to 90 minutes. Based on the obtained results, it can be said that the positive effect of changes in VO2max, fitness index and an increase in hemoglobin levels as parameters of functional abilities of respondents. Applied program for a period of 12 weeks was positively stimulate the heart and the body as a whole and led to an improvement in the work of the cardio vascular system. Loads that are realized in this period did not lead to significant changes in variables of morphological characteristics, i.e. body composition - FAT, FAT left leg, FAT right leg, TBW and the impedance of the whole body which is in accordance with a number of previous studies of this subject and creates space for similar research wherein they could change the parameters of the duration as well as the load during the planned program.
