Abstract

The changes in the current competitive system of athletics, with a tendency to increase competitive demands worldwide at younger ages, have caused the most accepted theories about the conception of the long-term sports preparation system to be outdated. This constitutes a limitation for the implementation of new methodological conceptions in said process, with its implications in reducing the effectiveness of the sports life of our athletes and the selection of the sports reserve to join the elite, for which it was necessary to resolve the scientific problem: How to determine the Cuban sports reserve in the athletic discipline of triple jump for both sex?, with the following objective: Apply a methodological procedure to determine the Cuban sports reserve in the athletic discipline of triple jump for both sex. Documentary analysis of official documents and statistical techniques for information processing were used as fundamental methods. The application of the procedure allowed to show changes in the age zones with respect to the reference criterion, as well as the determination of the few cases of sports reserve in the triple jump discipline, for its insertion into the world elite in the Olympic cycles 2020-2024 and 2024-2028.
