The effectiveness of sportsmen‟ training in the kettlebell long cycle at the present stage

Abstract

The effectiveness of sportsmen‟ training in the kettlebell long cycle is an urgent problem in kettlebell lifting. Trainers and scientists in many countries are looking for ways to improve the system of training in the kettlebell long cycle, as the system of training in kettlebell biathlon is quite effective, and there are still many unresolved issues in training system in kettlebell long cycle.
 The article is devoted to the study of the current state of system of training in the kettlebell long cycle. The dynamics of the implementation of the standards of Master of Sports (MS) and Master of Sports of International Class (MSIC) in the kettlebell long cycle for the period from 2016 to 2019 has been analyzed. The study involved male kettlebell lifters (aged 18-40) of national teams of regions of Ukraine of different weight categories: up to 63 kg, up to 68 kg, up to 73 kg, up to 78 kg, up to 85 kg, up to 95 kg, over 95 kg. The protocols of all-Ukrainian and International kettlebell lifting competitions in the long cycle were analyzed. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, documentary method (study of competition protocols), methods of mathematical statistics.
 It was found that the number of athletes who fulfilled the standards of MS and MSIC at first in 2019 (MS – 4 people, MSIC – 1 person) is significantly less than in 2016 (MS – 7 people, MSIC – 3 people) by 42.9% (MS) and 33.3% (MSIC). It testifies to the insufficient efficiency of the training system of athletes in the kettlebell long cycle at the present stage and the need for its improvement.
