THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUALIZATION IN THE TRAINING OF QUALIFIED ATHLETES SPECIALIZING IN COMPLEX TYPES OF MILTIATHLON

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to study the main approaches of coaches to planning the educational and training process of qualified female athletes specializing in complex types of all-around (multiathlon), taking into account the biorhythmological characteristics of their body. The set of methods used to solve the assigned tasks included: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature data; questionnaire, pedagogical observation and methods of statistical processing of the obtained material. Results. It was determined that more than 50% of coaches working with athletes in all-around sports do not take into account, or partially take into account the peculiarities of the course of the OMC (ovarian-menstrual cycle). About 90% of specialists carry out training sessions in the menstrual phase of the OMC and dose the training loads intuitively or according to the direct desire of the athlete. The volume and intensity of the load is adjusted only in the menstrual phase, less often in the premenstrual phase. In the menstrual phase, specialists use cyclic exercises at the Anaerobic Exchange Threshold (AET) level, exercises that develop flexibility, exercises of a general physical orientation. In this phase of the OMC, there is a decrease in the results in speed-strength and complex coordination types of all-round events. Conclusions. The conducted questionnaire survey and our own pedagogical observations indicate that the individualized approach is not fully used in the training system of qualified female athletes specializing in the types of complex multi-events. Experts do not take into account the factors associated with the characteristics of health, performance and emotional state of athletes in different phases of the biorhythm of their bodies, which negatively affects sports results and health of athletes. Key words: optimization, training process, planning individualization, load, biological characteristics.
