The use of autogenic training in the preparation of qualified atletes in rhythmic gymnastics

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of the use of non-traditional comprehensive psychoregulation techniques in the training and adventure process in artistic gymnastics. Material and methods. The study involved 20 gymnasts - masters of sports. The effectiveness of the developed system of application of non-traditional practice of autogenous training was determined by indicators of competitive performance, special physical and technical preparedness. The groups were virtually identical to the experiment. Each group consisted of 10 gymnasts. Experts' assessments of gymnasts in the main competitions of the year were used as indicators of competitive performance in programs with hoops, clubbikes, ribbons. As an experimental one, the developed method of autogenous training, based on representations of abstract natural images, was transferred to ideomotor training. The digital information obtained during the study was processed using traditional methods of mathematical statistics. Results The application of the developed method of autogenous training contributed to improving the competitive performance of athletes in the experimental group. Athletes of the experimental group with each subsequent competitions of the year showed a significant increase in the results (p 0.05), and after the experiment, there were significant differences in the test scores of athletes in the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). In the indicators of special endurance, the greatest differences were detected (jump rope test, min., р<0,001). Athletes of the experimental group revealed a significant increase in the test indicators as a result of the experiment. Conclusions. The significance and effectiveness of the use of psychoregulation techniques, the basis of which is autogenous training for the improvement of competitive performance, special physical and technical preparedness and functional state of gymnasts of high qualification, is revealed and scientifically substantiated.
