Charles University, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Prague The recording and analysis of sports training using a specialISED software APPLICATION, with multi-endurance SPORTS as an example Ji?í Suchy, Josef Dovalil SUMMARY Detailed records are an integral part of managing the training process. A number of theoretical and practical complications are encountered in the selection of appropriate parameters and the flawless processing of training data. The use of information technology to record and analyze training offers a significant simplification of this complicated process. In the text we define key general and special indicators for training for multi-endurance sports, which are summarized in a theoretical model. On the basis of that model we developed a specialized software application for the processing, recording and analysis of training for multi-endurance sports, which was then verified in a pilot test. The application allows the user to work with the data entered to structure training for multi-endurance sports. Key words: sports training, (computerised) training analysis, training planning and supervision, multi-endurance sports, triathlon. INTRODUCTION Appropriate training records (covering content, intensity, etc.) are regarded as an integral part of supervising the training process (figure 1). They facilitate routine training analysis, the evaluation of its effects, and the implementation of changes in training plans (Blahu?, 1996; Bompa, 1999; Dovalil, 2009). The selection of parameters for such records and the error-free processing of training data and its use have not been entirely resolved, and a number of problems have been encountered. Varying degrees of progress have been achieved in certain sports disciplines, but in some cases that progress has been insufficient. The use of information technology (IT) to record and analyze training data can greatly simplify that process, and make better use of a greater range of the data and infor
