Abstract

The objective is to identify the alternation of the best results (1980 – 2005) and 1500 m and 3000 m running records of Lithuanian females. During the research we analyzed the alteration of the running records of Lithuanian and world females in 1500 m and 3000 m distances from the date they were registered to 2005. We made the comparative analysis of these records. Evaluated the skills of Lithuanian female runners in different periods, analyzed the best results in 1980-2005 of the Lithuanian females in the running of 1500 m and 3000 m distance events. The records of the Lithuanian women 1500 m and 3000 m run have been improving from the date of their registry to 1988. Although the records of medium distance runs of juniors and youth of Lithuania have been improving in the recent years, the results of the adults haven’t been changing for 17 years. Using the method of comparative analysis we have established that the least difference between Lithuanian and world’s records in 1500 m and 3000 m runs were in 1990: 1500 – 7,8 sec., 3000 m – 17.00 sec. That shows that the results achieved by L. Baikauskaitė and R. Čistiakova were of a very high level at that time. The best average results of the top fives and top tens of Lithuanian women in 1500 m and 3000 m runs were in the ninth decade, when the best Lithuanian runners L. Baikauskaitė and R. Čistiakova were doing sports. Very high results in the 1500 m and 3000 m runs were achieved in 1984-1988. Not only individuals were able to achieve such results, but also all the generation of skillful sportswomen: L. Baikauskaitė, R. Čistiakova, B. Skurdelytė, S. Statkuvienė, R. Verbickienė.
