IMPROVING THE SPEED-POWER CAPACITY OF FEMALE SPRINTERS IN THE PREPARATORY PERIOD OF THEANNUAL MACROCYCLE

Abstract

Summary. The relevance of the research topic. Improving the training process of short-distance runners is an urgent problem, due to the fierce competition on the world stage, which requires further study. The result in sprint athletics is provided by a whole complex of highly developed qualities and functions of the athlete's body, but the leading place in ensuring high motor capqualities is occupied by speed and power qualities. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the experimental program for improving the speed and strength training of female sprinters in the preparatory period of the annual training cycle. Research methods: analysis, generalization and systematization of scientific literature data, pedagogical research methods (pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment), mathematical methods of processing the obtained results. Research results. In the training process of female athletes of the experimental group, an experimental program for improving speed and strength qualities was used, which is based on the use of 2 sets of exercises that contribute to the improvement of actual strength qualities and explosive and speed strength of female sprinters, in accordance with the requirements of the specifics of the sport. Various exercises were included in the content of the complexes, the selection of which was primarily based on their focus on improving certain types of strength. At the end of the preparatory period, the athletes of the experimental group in the control exercises for the manifestation of speed and strength qualities increased their performance from 3,17 to 6,75%. Conclusions. The analysis of the data obtained during the experiment shows that the experimental program for improving the speed and strength qualities of female track and field athletes is effective and can be applied in the training process of short-distance runners in the preparatory periods of the annual macrocycle.
