Assessment of speed-strength abilities of ski-racers in the training process

Abstract

The purpose – perfection of the technology for controlling the speed-strength abilities of ski-racers based on the data received with the Myotest PRO accelerometer (Switzerland). Research methods and organization. The study involved 124 cross-country skiers at different stages of sport training. Assessment of the speed-strength abilities of lower extremity muscles of skiers was carried out using the Myotest PRO accelerometer (Switzerland). Research results. The dynamics of changes in the speed-strength abilities of the lower extremity muscles indi- cates a decrease in the speed component of the power of skiers at the beginning of the sport excellence stage. Conclusion. The study revealed the informative character of the jumping tests based on the data received with the "Myotest PRO" accelerometer (Switzerland), which aimed at the exploration of speed-strength abilities of lower extremity muscles of skiers. Differentiated assessment of speed-strength components of the exercise intensity helps to assess strong and weak points of physical fitness of skiers and to adjust the training process.
