Abstract

Taking into account the role that the selection of athletes has in the success of clubs as well as in the sports life of young people, this research aims to highlight the impact of the Relative Age Effects (RAE) in the selection of athletes for representative teams of Kosovo in collective sports and the difference between the respective groups. The study was designed as an observational cross-sectional study. The total sample of persons in this research was n=237 (118 male and 119 female) athletes of the Kosovo National Team of team sports. The athletes were divided into 4 main groups: Q1 (January-March), Q2 (April-June), Q3 (July-September) and Q4 (October-December) with a special emphasis on the Q1 and Q4 group (for all sports the birth dates of the age post-puberty were collected). The analysis of the data clearly indicates that young athletes born in Q1 and Q2 were significantly more selected for representative teams compared to those in the other two groups. The results demonstrate a significant relative age effect on athlete selection based on gender for the Kosovo National Team. Specifically, athletes from Q1 and Q2 were favored. Based on these findings, it is strongly recommended that the respective federations, sports trainers, and relevant sports authorities take proactive measures to prevent the “discrimination” experienced by young athletes.

科索沃手球、足球、篮球、排球国家队代表性运动员选拔的相对年龄效应——青春期后年龄

考虑到运动员的选择在俱乐部的成功以及年轻人的体育生活中的作用，本研究旨在突出相对年龄效应(RAE)在科索沃集体体育代表队运动员选择中的影响以及各自群体之间的差异。本研究设计为观察性横断面研究。本研究的总样本为n=237名(118男119女)科索沃国家队团体运动运动员。将运动员分为4个主要组:Q1(1 - 3月)、Q2(4 - 6月)、Q3(7 - 9月)和Q4(10 - 12月)，特别强调Q1和Q4组(所有项目均收集青春期后年龄的出生日期)。对数据的分析清楚地表明，Q1和Q2出生的年轻运动员比其他两组的运动员更容易入选代表队。结果表明，相对年龄对基于性别的科索沃国家队运动员选择有显著的影响。具体来说，来自Q1和Q2的运动员受到青睐。基于这些发现，强烈建议各联合会、体育教练和相关体育主管部门采取积极措施，防止年轻运动员遭受“歧视”。
