Russian scientists have developed a model of individual training for weightlifters
Scientists of the South Ural State University developed an effective technology for the individualization of pre-season training of young weightlifters. The results were published in the journal Theory and Practice of Physical Culture, part of the Scopus database.
Accounting for individual characteristics for high results
Achievements in modern sports are closely related to scientific research. One of the main problems of modern theory and methods of sports is finding additional reserves to increase the effectiveness of training and competitive activities of athletes. We can achieve the growth of athletic performance through individualized training of an athlete. Every person has a unique genetic structure and has a unique way of responding to social and physical influences.
For many years, the combined team of the South Ural State University in weightlifting has successfully taken part in national and international competitions. Particular attention is paid to the individualization of pre-competitive training of highly qualified weightlifters during their studies at the university based on an assessment of the cardiovascular system.
"For several years, we conducted a study on the pre-competition training of weight-lifters based on indicators of the cardiovascular system and the body of athletes. Thanks to the received results, we created a model of individualization of the training process, taking into account heart rate variability and indicators of the cardiovascular system of a specific athlete," says the author of the method, associate professor of physical education and health at SUSU, Ruslan Khomenko.
As part of the pre-competitive training, individualization of high training effects, supporting loads and rehabilitation measures was carried out regarding the initial, current and model level of skill of weightlifters. The obtained data formed the basis of methodological recommendations for the training of athletes, weightlifters in the pre-competition period.
Medical control of training athletes
The technique developed by scientists of the South Ural State University created on the basis of medical indicators. Athletes, weightlifters estimated heart rate, stroke volume, the ejection fraction of blood, to see the reaction of their body to the load.
"These biological indicators provide an opportunity to see the athlete from the inside, and we understand what happens in the body with a particular load. The study involved weightlifters from 17 to 24 years old, having the qualifications of a candidate for a master of sports, master of sports. The evaluation was carried out before the start of the precompetitive stage, which makes the method unique, as the scientists had not considered this stage of preparation before. After that, we still had a few more weeks to adjust the load," explains Ruslan Khomenko.
Depending on the initial functional state of the athletes, at the pre-competitive stage, scientists of SUSU proposed various options for building loads. For athletes with fatigue caused by overtraining, we recommend smoothly reduce of the load, while for athletes with poor health as a result of the disease should increase the load. If an athlete approaches the precompetitive stage in an optimal condition, then his usual load is maintained. This algorithm of individualization of the preparation process for the season is designed to ensure the necessary adaptive progress to achieve competitive success in each individual training program.
The results of the study showed that the individualization of pre-competitive training of weight-lifters provided an improvement in the parameters of the functional state of the cardiovascular system.
