Abstract - Methodology of practical sciences before training theory and competition theory

There is little attention paid to practical disciplines in methodological research. The authors –mainly prakseologists and methodologists-of the limited so far literature present concepts which focus on aiming at, describing, interpreting the specific character of those disciplines in context of other sciences.
There has not been a similar debate on training’s theory and competition’s theory although its social significance as well as the high status of physical education including the postulate to connect theory and practice creates satisfactory motives to carry out research in this particular field.
The author of the text concludes that the training’s theory and the competition’s theory do not reach their pure optimum status. The theories are influenced by reconstruction concepts characteristic of pure theoretical sciences. They are definitely more differentiated and mixed than any of the practical disciplines. Thus, some less optimum assumptions – like those with reconstruction and explaining character- of the described theories are adapted from theoretical sciences and are implemented by non-optimum assumptions of the practical disciplines. That is why the researcher’s task (training’s theoretician and competition’ theoretician) and the trainer’s task is to choose suitable non- optimum assumptions, to add optimum assumptions, finding solution for a model, specification of the assumption and then solving a more realistic model etc.
