EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF FORMING THE TECHNIQUE OF MOVEMENT OF ATHLETES DURING PRACTICAL PISTOL SHOOTING IN MOTION WITH THE USE OF EXPERT ANALYSIS

Abstract

Relevance of the research topic. Currently, science in the field of physical culture and sports includes theoretical and empirical levels and aspects of knowledge and research that closely interact within the framework of most studies that simultaneously include the construction of theoretical models, conceptualization and operationalization of concepts and hypotheses, primary data collection and analysis. The purpose of the article is to determine the effectiveness of the author's technology for the formation of movement techniques during practical shooting of athletes with a pistol in motion. Participants of the study. The study involved 8 qualified athletes specialising in practical pistol shooting. The effectiveness of the author's technology was assessed by reducing the number of errors in the experimental and control groups during the implementation of the technology. Provided that the equivalence of the experimental and control groups is achieved at the initial stage of the experiment, the main hypothesis ‘the use of the author's technology will help to reduce the number of errors during movement among athletes specialising in practical pistol shooting in motion’ should be tested. Research methods. We conducted an experimental study in the laboratory using expert analysis. The results obtained in the course of the study were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Results and key conclusions. The research has a clearly expressed quasi-metric character, the evaluation of the movement technique of athletes during shooting is based on expert judgments, and not on accurate objective measurements. Athletes' errors are recorded by experts on the basis of observations, which is a classic example of using a semi-quantitative approach, where each expert assesses the presence or absence of specific errors, and the data is recorded in the form of binary scores (yes/no error). However, this approach allows subjective assessments to be structured for further analysis, even if they are not absolutely accurate. Reliability is ensured by a sufficient number of qualified experts and the consistency of their assessments of the study, namely the participation of five experts who assessed the technique of athletes before and after the experiment. The Kendall's coefficient W=0.357, at a significance level of p<0.05, indicates a moderate but statistically significant consistency of expert assessments. This means that the experts demonstrated a sufficient level of consistency in their judgements, which allows us to consider their assessments reliable for further analysis of the results of the experiment.
