PECULIARITIES OF PHYSICAL FITNESS OF YOUNG ATHLETES SPECIALISING IN HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF POSTURE

Abstract

In the structure of long-term training, the initial stage is of great importance, the main tasks of which are: strengthening children's health, comprehensive physical training, elimination of deficiencies in physical development, training in the technique of the chosen sport and the technique of various auxiliary and specially prepared exercises. The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of physical fitness of young athletes specialising in hand-to-hand combat. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalisation of special scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics were used in the study. Results. Taking into account age norms of these tests, it can be concluded that the majority of athletes aged 8-9 years and 9-10 years showed an average or satisfactory level of physical fitness. Only a few athletes were able to achieve excellent results. And these are usually athletes whose posture is normal and who have a high status according to the assessment of their biogeometric profile. The athletes with normal posture who were assessed as being at risk of postural disorders performed the tests mostly at a sufficient level. Only in some cases there were high results in the torso tilt and a proportion of them had low results in the other two tests. The majority of athletes with different types of posture disorders demonstrated a satisfactory level of physical fitness. Conclusions. It was established that sportsmen at the age of 9-10 years had a higher level of muscle strength and endurance, and at the age of 8-9 years were more flexible, but these tendencies correspond to the age norms of physical fitness of sportsmen who specialise in hand-to-hand combat. The differences between athletes with normal posture and those with a certain type of posture disorder have been determined, the essence of which is the significantly better physical fitness of the former compared to all others, regardless of the type of disorder in question. It has been established that physical fitness of sportsmen with high and average levels of biogeometrical posture profile is higher than that of those with low levels.
