Abstract

Aim. To justify using of breathing exercises during training of tennis players for professional tournaments aimed to increase speed endurance and to develop the method for enhancing speed endurance of tennis players via breathing techniques. Materials and Methods. The educational experiment involving 20 professional tennis players included the following stages: justification of using of breathing exercises during training for tournaments in order to increase speed endurance; development of method for improvement of speed endurance in tennis players during the period of training for tournaments; introduction of speed-endurance improving methods based on breathing techniques into the period of training for tournaments. Results. In contrast with common approach, the method for improving speed endurance of tennis players based on breathing exercises during training for tournament includes extended methods of special physical conditioning – breathing exercising on a daily basis. Using the method for improvement of speed endurance based on breathing techniques for three months during the period of training of professional tennis players for tournaments resulted in considerably increased indicators of lung capacity and speed endurance in athletes. The effectiveness of the developed method for enhancement of speed endurance during the period of training for professional tournaments was confirmed by the growth of indicators of speed endurance in tennis players from the control group. Conclusion. As court tests show the applied method for improvement of speed endurance during the period of training for professional tournaments contributes to enhancement of external respiration functions and of anaerobic and aerobic mechanisms, and, eventually, to better speed endurance of tennis players.
