THE USE OF EXERCISE DEVICES IN SPECIAL TECHNICAL AND PHYSICAL TRAININGOF STUDENTS INVOLVED IN KICKBOXING
This paper presents the results of the study of the training process of kickboxing students using the developed author’s training device for practicing punches and kicks. The main attacking kicks in the duel were determined and a weekly microcycle of training in the preparatory period was developed. The purpose of the study is to improve the physical and technical readiness of university students involved in kickboxing.Material and methods. The study involved students of Vitebsk State University (n=24) aged 17-19, 12 athletes each. The performances of students at competitions of various levels in the period from 2013 to 2019 were analyzed.To confirm the effectiveness of the developed methodology for applying basic technical complexes of exercises on a training device, at the stage of initial training, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, observation, survey, conversations with leading kickboxing experts, pedagogical experiment. The processing of the obtained experimental data was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics.Findings and their discussion. The work presents the development of a training device and a methodology for training kickboxing students in a microcycle in the preparatory period.The developed simulator allows you to practice punches and kicks on the make-up. This simulator consists of a base on which vertically parallel one after another two spring-loaded racks are installed, at the ends of which the make-ups are fixed. On the closest to the trainee, the make-up is fixed at the waist level, on the second - at the head level. The make-ups can rotate to the sides depending on the hit being practiced. A center is marked on each make-up, to assess the impact of hits on accuracy.Conclusion. The directed development of students’ motor abilities, “explosive” strength, speed, with the use of training devices, allows to form more stable motor skills, to increase the effectiveness of technical training of kicks and to optimize the technical arsenal of kickboxers. The use of exercise complexes in a microcycle contributes to the increase of students’ physical working capacity at the stage of initial training. Conducting the educational and training process with a focus on further improving the basic techniques allows you to perform them more aesthetically and efficiently.Special physical training must be developed in conjunction with the technique of performing competitive exercises. This will allow more effective use of techniques, avoid injury and more reliably use tactics of attack and counterattack. The use of training devices in the training process is an effective means of developing motor abilities, helps to expand the technical capabilities of students, and increases the effectiveness of the training process.
