Gym machines for simulating training of technical movements in curling

Curling is a team sports game played on ice. The athletes slide stones one by one toward a marked target area. This is a sport in which the exactness of a throw is the base of technique and one of the main components of a successful play. In sport, technique means the way of making a physical action. Technical preparation is a process of education and improvement of movement skills, serving a mean of sports fighting. For making a throw of a curling stone an athlete has to push himself off a hack and slide in a deep lunge position holding a stone in his hand. In front of the hog line an athlete releases the stone. This paper describes the machines for training the technique of throwing a curling stone. Using empirical research methods we have created and used the machines which were used during the training process at the special preparation stage of the preparation period. A special training roller ground for throwing curling stones was developed. The useful model RU 192760 patent was published on September 30, 2019. The developed equipment allows to do imitative training of movements and technique of curling stones throwing. A training roller ground for a curling player’s boot was designed. The useful model RU 193702 patent was published on November 11, 2019. The conditions for simulating training of exactness of take-off force in curling were created
