METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF ATHLETES

Abstract

During the training of athletes for different sports, distinct workloads are planned, corresponding to the training and the goals set by the coach and his team for achieving high sports results. The overall preparation of the athletes requires the use of different methods for the evaluation and analysis of the functional state of the main systems of their bodies. An important factor for ensuring the effectiveness in the management of the training process is the objective, complete and timely information that can be obtained using a package of established standardized indicators procured according to specific methodology with strict order and sequence. The examined methodology aims to present the necessary tools and techniques for conducting a functional analysis of the state of athletes. The stages, activities, and methods for performing the analysis are described in detail. Several pilot functional analyses are presented, through which the methodology and its application were tested.
