MODELING OF RUNNING TRAINING IN THE ANNUAL CYCLE FOR ELITE FEMALE TRIPLE JUMPERS

Abstract

ABSTRACT Triple jump is a discipline of the horizontal track and field jumps where one of the factors of the sports achievement is the acceleration speed. A number of authors have studied this indicator, however without taking into account the specifics of running training for women competing in this discipline. The objective of this study is to enrich the theory of running training in highly qualified female triple jump athletes in the annual training cycle. Study tasks: 1) Analysis of the structure and content of Tereza Marinova’s annual training cycle in the year of winning the Olympic title. 2) Analysis of the dynamics of running training tools, their inclusion and elimination in individual periods. 3) Creation of a running training model over the annual cycle. Methods: 1) Summary and analysis of the data from the training diary of the study athlete; 2) Mathematical data processing; 3) Sports and pedagogical analysis. Results: 1) The running training of the study athlete starts with an emphasis on developing the aerobic capabilities of the body; 2) The tools used to develop maximum speed reach their highest levels in the pre-competition period, the most used being sections with a length of 40 m.; 3) Various tools are used to develop strength endurance, but the scope of sections with 2.5-5 kg sled at maximum speed has a significant advantage. Conclusion: Taking into account the individuality and preferences of each individual athlete, we believe that the established highlights in Tereza Marinova’s training can be used as a guide for building the running training of elite female triple jumpers.
