Cognitive abilities as one of the criteria for the selection and orientation of athletes of various ages in game team sports (for example, football)

Selection in the system of long-term training of athletes is one of the most complex problems in the theory and practice of sports training and involves the development and implementation of scientific and methodological developments in several directions at once: forecasting, modeling and control. As a result, in game team sports and in particular in football, ensuring the effectiveness of the selection and orientation process is determined by a comprehensive assessment of the athlete's abilities, covering all aspects of his preparation. Nowadays, psychodiagnostics and the practical application of the obtained data in the process of selection, competitive activity and in the educational and training process of young football players of various ages are still a reserve that can significantly increase the effectiveness of the training of the sports reserve in football. Not an exception is the study of the cognitive sphere of players, the lack of attention to which leads to a decrease in the prognostic value of conclusions about the potential capabilities of football players, as well as a negative impact on the effectiveness of training in certain areas and, first of all, tactical and technical. In order to determine the level of formation of a number of cognitive abilities of young football players of various ages, appropriate diagnostic measures were carried out, which made it possible to establish the dynamic characteristics of changes in individual cognitive indicators at different stages of training. The two tests used during the diagnosis showed consistent results in determining the age limits, where there is a stabilization of the rate of growth of the studied indicators. The obtained data can be used as criteria for assessing the degree of suitability of a young football player for effective functioning within sports activities at a specific stage of multi-year training.

Education of moral and volitional qualities of adolescents in sports activities

Relevance. The article deals with the problem related to the education of moral and volitional qualities in the educational and training process of adolescents engaged in sports. The contradiction arising in the practice of sports reserve training is connected with the fact that achievement of high sports results requires the manifestation and thus the formation of personal qualities of young athletes, which are perceived by the society as negative. The methods and techniques of educational influence used by sports teachers often cause disharmony in the personal development of their students. There is a need to develop and implement in the practice of sports training proven methods of development of personal qualities of children and adolescents that meet the requirements of social order.The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of the methodology for the development of moral and volitional qualities of adolescents 12-13 years old engaged in track and field athletics.Methods and organization of research. To determine the level of development of moral and volitional qualities in adolescents, a specially designed system of five-point evaluation was used. The content of each personal quality was revealed in their main features, which were the main indicators of the level of manifestation of this quality. Each attribute is evaluated in one point. The total evaluation score of each attribute is within the scale from 1 to 5 points. Parents of adolescents, coaches, teachers and class teachers acted as experts. The participants of the forming experiment were adolescents 12-13 years old (boys and girls) engaged in track and field athletics. Two groups were created: control (n=20) and experimental (n=20). The control group was engaged in the standard programme of sports training. The work in the experimental group lasted for one year and provided for the implementation in the educational and training process of the methodology of education of moral and volitional qualities of adolescents.Conclusions. In the conditions of educational and training process, purposeful activity providing interaction of teachers of secondary school, coaches and parents of teenagers on realization of the offered technique allows to develop effectively moral and volitional qualities of teenagers engaged in track and field athletics.

PREPARATION OF THE SPORTS RESERVE IN BULLET SHOOTING FOR THE LIPETSK REGION NATIONAL TEAM

The relevance of research is due to the fact that preparations of athletes with high athletic results is impossible without an effectively built system of training young athletes – the preparation of a sports reserve for national teams in sports. The purpose of the study is to analyze the legislation on sports training of the sports reserve in modern conditions for the development of recommendations to sports schools of the Olympic reserve (SSHOR) on bullet shooting. The following research methods were used: - Theoretical research: theoretical analysis and synthesis of legislation and research literature on a selected topic, comparison and generalization. - Empirical research: content analysis of the activities of the Lipetsk region SSHOR for the training of the sports reserve in bullet shooting, observation, questioning, interviews and testing of school staff, athletes and their parents. - Statistical processing of data from annual forms of statistical observation No. 5-FC "Information on organizations engaged in sports training" (report). The research was conducted from August 2019 to October 2020 on the basis of the GBU LO SSHOR named after A.M. Nikulin and GBU LO SSHOR for shooting sports. The total duration of the study is 1 year and 3 months. At the 1st stage of the study, a theoretical analysis and synthesis of legislation and research literature were carried out. Based on the analysis, we clarified the main concepts and studied the history of the development of shooting sports. We studied Federal laws and other normative legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as laws and other normative legal acts of the Lipetsk region regulating legal relations in the field of physical culture and sports, including establishing the status of physical culture and sports organizations and educational institutions. The implemented additional general development programs and sports training programs were compared. An analysis of the calculation of the financing of sports training services showed an underestimated amount of funding for the SSHOR for the provision of sports training services in bullet shooting, due to the fact that the basic standards of material costs did not include the costs of small-caliber weapons, ammunition and part of the equipment. According to the norms of the FSSP on bullet shooting, schools have the right to spend funds on their purchase, while funds for their purchase are not received by the SSHOR.

Экономическая эффективность подготовки спортивного резерва в вузе физической культуры и спорта

The development of student sports is an important socially significant state task. In the current conditions, in the absence of direct return on investment in student sports, the preparation of a sports reserve on a state assignment can become the economic basis for the development of sports at universities. The first sports reserve training programs in Russian universities were opened in 2023. The purpose of the study was to assess the economic efficiency of training a sports reserve under an additional sports training program using the example of a university subordinate to the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation, in the interests of further directions for the development of student sports and its state support. A generalization of the preliminary results of training the sports reserve for additional educational programs of sports training was carried out. Data on basic cost standards established by the Ministry of Sports and the Committee on Economic Policy and Strategic Planning of St. Petersburg were used. The accepted standards of basic unit direct costs encourage the university to form sports training groups that match the number of students with the maximum allowed group size. Integration of educational activities and sports training makes it possible to reduce the cost of wages for coaches involved in sports training programs. The integration of educational activities and sports training also allows us to solve the problem of reducing the workload of coaches per one salary due to the harmonization of legislation in the field of physical culture and sports and education.

ON THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE SPORTS RESERVE TRAINING SYSTEM AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The article is devoted to the study of a topic that is of current importance for municipal sports schools that implement additional general educational programs in the field of physical culture and sports as their main activity. The harmonization of legislation on physical culture and sports and on education that has begun since 01/01/2023 is restructuring not only the form and content of the implemented sports reserve training programs, but also their financial support. In the absence of a unified point of view on the balance of changes in terms of harmonizing the legislation on physical culture and sports and education, a contradictory situation arose regarding the ratio of the stages of sports training with the powers of municipalities on local issues. The lack of a unified position on this issue gives rise to doubt and dissatisfaction among representatives of the leadership of local governments and the administrative and managerial apparatus of sports schools, turning into the formation of manic phobias. The authors, on the basis of study, come to the conclusion about the root causes of contradictions, possible options for the development of the current situation and ways for the further development of municipal physical culture and sports.

Нейронные сети в исследовании человеческого капитала как источника экономической безопасности Российской Федерации

According to the national goal of preserving the health and well-being of the population of the Russian Federation, neural network modeling of the dynamics of the current state of organizational and economic efficiency of acyclic sports certifying human capital, which is one of the significant foundations of innovative development and guarantees of national, including economic, security of the state, was carried out. The data of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation for the period 2014—2020 are considered and investigated. on the development of acyclic sports in order to improve the efficiency of organizational and economic activities in the sports field, increase the life expectancy of the Russian population, increase human capital and support the socio-economic growth of the Russian Federation. Cluster analysis was performed using a new promising methodological approach — neural networks, which make up one of the sections of artificial intelligence. Data clustering was carried out on the basis of neural networks — self-organizing Kohonen maps for 6 indicators certifying the evolution of acyclic sports, using information technology. The features of the development of acyclic sports as one of the components of the process of human capital formation, which were also influenced by the great challenges of the modern stage of civilization development, are determined. The different level of organizational and economic activity in the sphere of sports reserve training allowed us to obtain a ranking of acyclic sports in four clusters. The composition and characteristics of each cluster are presented. The conducted research using neural network technologies made it possible to assess the development of the sport under study in the Russian Federation. The results of the study contain practical significance in the implementation of a comparative analysis of the development of acyclic sports. They can be taken into account in the strategic planning of the development of the sports sphere in the context of an increase in the quality of human capital related to the dominant internal factors of the socio-economic potential of the Russian Federation.

ASPECTS OF TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL TRAINING OF YOUNG FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Training of sports reserve for professional football has always attracted much attention. This is evidenced by a significant number of studies devoted to this issue, within which experts in professional children's and youth football emphasize the lack of necessary engagement in elite sport young athletes, well-prepared in terms of technical and tactical skills. One of adequate responses in the considered aspect is further improvement of efficient training of a prospective competitive sports reserve based on intensified improvement of quality of scientific and methodical support during training process. The aim of the research work is to substantiate scientific approaches to formation of a step-by-step management system within the long-term process of developing football players’ technical and tactical skills. We have carried out the analysis of program documents, literature sources and practical activities of children's coaches in the process of implementing long-term training programs for young football players in leading European football academies and national federations. A number of fundamental and systemic differences between traditional and progressive approaches to arrangement of educational and training process have been shown. It has been determined that the existing “organized” football, the system of conducting children's and youth competitions, as well as pedagogical approaches to training young talents, are aimed at speeding up training process, achieving instant results, team-group form of conducting classes, which do not contribute to individual development and training of a smart player, capable of creatively approaching the solution of tactical and technical tasks. We have substantiated approaches to making changes in the practice of long-term training for young football players based on application of situational game method, which is a key point for effective training, development of individual capabilities and formation of game intelligence. A strategy for managing training process has been determined based on the introduction of a phased (gradual) system of tactical and technical training for young football players, which will further determine player's potential at professional level. We have indicated the necessity of making changes to pedagogical approaches of managing sports activities for young football players and evaluating the effectiveness of children's coaches’ work.

АНАЛІЗ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ СПОРТИВНИХ КЛУБІВ ЯК СКЛАДОВОЇ ЧАСТИНИ МОЛОДІЖНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ

The rapid growth of achievements in world sports encourages a constant search for new, more effective ways, methods and organizational forms of training a sports reserve. On the one hand, the activity of sports clubs is one of the most important reserves for increasing the effectiveness of sports training, and on the other hand, it is a tool for implementing youth policy in the country based on modern scientific data and world practice. Fundamental changes in the political, social and especially economic systems of society, characteristic of Ukraine, have led to significant changes in the activities of physical culture and sports organizations, in particular sports clubs. Materials and methods: in the course of the study, the analysis of scientific literature and documentary sources, system analysis, methods of mathematical statistics were used. Discussion. The authors considered the content of youth policy in Ukraine. The place of sports clubs in the implementation of the main tasks of developing a healthy lifestyle culture to improve the health status of Ukrainian youth and the general demographic situation in society is presented. The priority of the Strategy for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports by 2028 is the formation of an intersectoral approach in carrying out preventive measures to eliminate the negative impact of social determinants of health, create conditions for maintaining and strengthening the health of the population, and forming a responsible attitude of every young person to personal health. Sports clubs have been identified as the most effective organizational form of work with young people to promote a healthy lifestyle in the context of creating a favorable social and natural environment, developing personal skills and habits of a healthy lifestyle. An important task is to develop and implement such a model of the strategic development of sports clubs, which would increase the efficiency of their functioning in a market environment, take into account the level of growing needs of young people in high-quality physical culture and sports services and increase their competitiveness. Results. Since the system for providing strategic development for sports clubs is a new type of structure, the process of its creation will largely be accompanied by the correction of existing programs and plans for their current activities. Ensuring the strategic development of a sports club is based on solving a multifactorial managerial problem: how, with the available resources, to ensure maximum economic progress and improve the most significant indicators of the quality of life of young people. The tools for managing the development of sports clubs are tools of the control type. The strategic management of sports clubs is divided into static and dynamic, the latter being typical for these organizations. The model of strategic management of sports clubs should cover the stages of financial, economic, organizational and strategic analysis, study of the external environment of activity, strategic design, strategy building, strategy implementation, monitoring and control.

Research on the Path of Training Athletes in Chinese Universities Under the Background of Integration of Sports and Education

The purpose of this study was to realize the cognition and practice of sports education concepts from all walks of life in China, and eliminate the barriers of traditional systems and mechanisms, it will point out the direction for the training of Chinese competitive sports reserve talents to get out of the predicament and move towards high-quality development. The cultivation of reserve talents for competitive sports in China has gone through three stages: “combination of sports and education,” “combination of education and sports,” and “integration of sports and education.” Through analysis, it is concluded that the problems encountered by high-level sports teams in Chinese colleges and universities in the process of talent training. First, the sports department mainly cultivated reserve talents in the past, and the evaluation of athletes paid more attention to medals and honors. However, the main focus of the work of the education department is to enhance the physical fitness of the students and promote the physical and mental health of the students. Secondly, the lack of investment in training by universities leads to low coaching level and ability of coaches, which is the main factor restricting the training of athletes. Finally, in actual campus life, athletes spend most of their time in daily competitions and training, and their cultural performance is not good, which leads to their inability to truly master the cultural knowledge of their chosen major during their studies, it is challenging to choose a career as an elite in related industries after graduation. First, the main body of implementing the training of competitive sports talents in the new era in the sports department and the education department. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination, communication and cooperation between the two departments to realize the sharing and sharing of resources between them. Secondly, universities should provide athletes with diversified teaching projects and practice forms. The teachers’ team is divided into two categories: physical education teachers and physical education coaches. Teachers are responsible for daily classroom teaching work to achieve the goal of coordinated development of physical exercise and cultural learning. The coach is responsible for sports training, through scientific and systematic training to enable students to reach a specific level of competition. Finally, universities should adopt learning planning guidance for athletes to help them complete their learning tasks, improve their cultural literacy, and enable them to master sports skills without delaying their normal study life.

The ways of minimizing pedagogical errors and preventing the use of inadequate loads in the training process are shown based on the strategy of preparing a sports reserve for professional football and maintaining health of young football players.

The priority of sports results as the main destructive factor in the training system of young football players 6-13 years old

Achievement of high efficiency of functioning of children and youth sports schools is possible only in conditions of building a rational system of training young football players. The rational system of training the sports reserve in football, among other things, involves the maximum realization of the athlete's motor and mental potential in the optimal age intervals for this. The orientation of sports schools towards achieving a long-term goal and full disclosure of individual capabilities, starting from the first stages of many years of training, is the key to the emergence of qualified and competitive players.
 At the same time, one of the main features of the system of youth football in Ukraine is the excessive striving of the majority of coaches of children's teams for a result in a match and victories in tournaments. The purpose of the research was to study the specificity of the orientation of various components of training young football players of 6-13 years old in terms of priority of the competitive result. Research results. The article presents the results of the analysis of the negative influence of the priority of the current competitive result on the content and orientation of various types of training.

THE CURRENT STATE AND ISSUES OF PREPARATION OF AN ATHLETIC RESERVE (BASED ON THE SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH)

Aim. The article deals with the analysis of the current state and issues of training sports reserve in track and field. Materials and methods. A questionnaire consisting of 12 questions and 57 subquestions of open-ended, close-ended and multiple choice types was developed. The questionnaire-based survey was carried out among Russian and Chinese coaches (n = 161) aged 20–72 years including Honored coaches of the Russian Federation (n = 7) and elite coaches (n = 38). Results. The questionnaire-based survey for coaches demonstrated that they worried about: declining popularity of track-and-field compared to other sports; early specialization and related risks; low qualification of coaches working with children and teenagers. Respondents pay special attention to negative consequences of early specialization such as early retirement from sport, loss of promising athletes; short career in elite sports; growing number of sports-related injuries in young athletes. According to coaches, the main factors contributing to early specialization are the following: a) specialized training, which results in a rapid growth of sport results; b) achievements in sports are so high that a coach has to search for sports reserve among children. According to the respondents, young athletes should participate in competitions to learn how to overcome themselves and accumulate competitive experience. The majority of respondents think that integrated training in track-and-field is one of the important factors of successful career. Conclusion. A social survey of coaches has revealed peculiarities and issues typical for training sports reserve in track-and-field, which have to be considered and resolved.
