Olympic training of trampolinists in Ukraine: problems and prospects

Abstract

The article discusses the development trends of the trampoline as an Olympic sport, which are associated with an increase in the share of gold awards won by trampoline athletes from various countries of the world. The aggravation of competition in this sport at the Olympic Games between athletes of those countries of the world in which a centralized system of Olympic training for trampolines has been introduced is shown. A tendency to improve the results and their stability in trampoline players from those countries in which the training of athletes is based on the introduction of innovative technologies and integrated medical and biological support has been noted.
 The analysis of the performances of trampoline athletes from the XXVIIth to the XXXIIth Olympic Games was carried out. Conclusions are drawn and priority ways of solving modern problems of Olympic training of trampolines in Ukraine are substantiated.
 The following methods of scientific research were used in the work: analysis of data from special, scientific and scientific-methodical literature, questionnaire survey, analysis of Internet data, comparison, generalization, video analysis of athletes' performances at the last six Olympic Games. The list of problems that complicate the preparation of the Ukrainian national trampoline team is described. For example, unsatisfactory material and technical support of the Olympic training centers. There is no proper training base that meets international standards. It is emphasized that many coaches work in halls where the ceiling height meets the standards for trampolining (not lower than 8 meters, and preferably 10-12 m). Also, the authors emphasize that the quantitative and qualitative indicators of children's and youth sports schools do not meet the modern requirements of high performance sports. There are practically no scientific studies carried out in Ukraine and devoted to trampolining. Without qualitative monitoring of the current technique of the athlete and evaluation of the technique of performing the elements of exercises it is impossible to ensure a stable growth of his technical skills. Technical improvement should be not only the most diverse and such that does not allow the formation of rigid motor skills.
