INDIVIDUALIZATION OF PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS AGED 13–14

Aim. The article deals with the assessment of physical preparedness in football players aged 13–14 and making recommendations about the changes in athletes’ training based on a model (profile) of physical preparedness. Materials and methods. We assessed physical preparedness using the data obtained from hemodynamic monitoring, maximal ramp test, Wingate anaerobic test, method of a simple sensor-motor reaction and field tests (30 m running on the move, kicking the ball at a distance and throwing the ball with both hands from behind the head). Results. The formation of an individual model of athlete’s preparedness allowed us to present a large amount of the data obtained from in-depth testing in concise and comprehensible form, facilitating detection of the method for training optimization. Conclusion. The proposed technology of training optimization allowed us to improve athletes’ achievements and physical preparedness in each component providing performance enhancement for individual athletes and a whole team.
