Abstract:
In this scientific article, the authors present the results of testing a strength training program for martial artists, the main means of which were various barbell and bodyweight exercises. An analysis of the training of martial artists showed that their strength training is divided into two stages: preparatory for competitions and a training camp. During the 6-week offseason, athletes focus on developing aerobic endurance, maximum aerobic capacity, and speed and strength qualities. The entire range of training consists of three consecutive mesocycles, each of which focuses on the eccentric, isometric and concentric phases of movement. The second phase is a training camp in which athletes work out for about 12 weeks (three mesocycles of 4 weeks each). During these training sessions, the athletes used specific plyometric and strength exercises. The use of an innovative training system for martial artists showed that there was a significant increase in performance in strength exercises (+18%) and maximum loads (+12%). In addition, the authors determined that there is a positive communication between the athlete's physical condition and the combat technique used by him, which led to an increase in the effectiveness of combat operations by 27.1% and an improvement in defensive maneuvers by 13.6%. Scientific novelty The research consists in the development and testing of a strength training program for martial artists. Practical significance It consists in developing a program for strength training of martial artists. Materials. The initial indicators of athletes' physical strength were studied, the level of athletes' training was studied, taking into account their sports experience, training experience and skill level in this sport. Research methods. The following methods were used in the course of the research: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, a survey of coaches of the Sambo-Peter professional club, a pedagogical experiment, and the method of mathematical statistics. Results. The athletes demonstrated an increase in the level of physical strength, endurance, speed, and reliability of defensive techniques. Increasing these parameters helps athletes develop a high ability to defend and resist attacks. In addition, athletes can maintain their concentration during the entire fight. The results were obtained: a 12% increase in physical strength, an 18% increase in endurance for EG, which indicates a high productivity of the program. Conclusion. The developed program can be used for training athletes in any type of martial arts, as it helps to develop not only muscle groups, but also to hone the ability to concentrate attention, build a more reliable defense system through a variety of strikes.
