FLOW Theory in sport means planning the training content according to the skill level of the athlete. Biological age (maturity level); refers to the physical EARLY-NORMAL-EARLY development periods of the athlete during the development period. It has been proven by scientific studies that the biological maturity levels of children and young people in the developmental age vary by +/- 2 years according to the calendar age. Athletic performance values in children and young people at each biological maturity stage; There are periods when flexibility, coordinative skills, strength, endurance, speed, agility and reaction motor skills are most efficient in development. Determination and evaluation of these periods for healthy and high-level athlete development contributes to the development of personal characteristics in training.
The flow theory in sports predicts that the training levels of athletes should be planned according to their skill levels in order to avoid boredom and anxiety and to be able to do sports for a long time, and when biological maturity is determined, it advocates that the person and the group should be able to plan training according to the skill level in training or to work according to the most efficient periods by using the grouping method in training. While flow theory evaluates the situation psychologically, biological maturation evaluates the situation as physical maturity. Therefore, both scientific studies advocated that children and young people should continue their sports life for a long time without falling into psychological anxiety and boredom during training and that they should work according to their maturity levels.
With this system we have established, it can be considered as a development tracking and training suggestion development platform that contributes to the development of personal skills without leaving the flow theory in sports.
