The structure of training loads of high jumpers in the annual training cycle

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of improving the process of sports training of high jumpers at the age of 18–19 years by correcting and detailing individual sections of the state athletics training program for sports schools, and Higher Schools of Sportsmanship. The material presented in the article is based on the study and analysis of regulatory documents, publications and scientific literature and allows us to conclude that the regulatory programatic supply of the high jumpers training and training process needs to be updated and corrected. This statement is supported by the results of a statistical study on the qualification level of Ukrainian studentjumpers conducted by the authors. The results of the questioning of Ukrainian track and field coaches also show the lack of demand for the Program, the need for its revision and detailing. A significant drawback of the Program is the generalized nature of the recommended training loads, which are the approximate total annual volumes of training work, without detailing their distribution among training periods and mesocycles. Presented article contains the author's version of the distribution of the training loads of high-jumpers of junior age proposed by the Program among the structural elements of the annual macrocycle training. Further studies suggest practical testing of the effectiveness of the proposed load distribution with the help of a pedagogical experiment. Article material may be useful to coaches of sports schools, athletes, students and teachers of specialized educational institutions.
