PREPARATION OF BIATHLONISTS 16-18 YEARS OLD BASED ON FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTICS
General physical fitness is an integral part of the training of athletes. And taking into account the state of athletes according to the D&K TEST method can be used as a justification for planning and implementing the training process, and partial individualization of the training process. Planning by coaches, distribution of training types and loads for a one-year macrocycle with further distribution on mesocycles and microcycles can be carried out in accordance with the federal standard of sports training in a sport: biathlon. Since the training plan is drawn up for a one-year macrocycle and has a relatively general form, its distribution into mesocycles and microcycles often requires additional knowledge from coaches and proper monitoring of the functional state of athletes. In the article, the authors consider the methodology of general physical training of 16-18 year old biathletes on the basis of functional diagnostics. It was developed jointly with the coach of the national biathlon team of the Republic of Tatarstan and included 3 sets of exercises. The study was conducted from 20.07.2019 to 20.05.2021. The conducted pedagogical experiment showed an improvement in the average indicators of athletes, which allows us to speak about the effectiveness of the proposed methodology of general physical training of 16-18 year old biathletes on the basis of functional training. The results of statistical processing are statistically significant (р≤0, 05).
