Морфофункциональные показатели сильнейших квалифицированных пловцов 11-18 лет

Abstract

In the contemporary conditions of elite sport allocation of the most gifted and perspective athletes is of special importance, since record achieve-ments are specific for athletes with the most optimal characteristics for the given sport. On the one hand, athletes differ by their morphological, functional and psychological character-istics, adapt differently to various work conditions and, on the other hand, targeted activity affects selection of the most gifted athletes and formation of their specific morphofunctional status. Body build characteristics take one of the main plac-es among the indices determining success of perfor-mance in swimming, that are taken into account at sport selection on different stages of the long-term training; the choice of the method and swimming distance. The purpose of the present study was to analyze mor-phofunctional characteristics of elite swimmers and work recommendations for correction of the training process. The carried out study provides for assessment of the level of morphofunctional development of junior male reserve in swimming and give practical recommenda-tion to trainers regarding individual correction of the training process. There were established the parameters of total, longitu-dinal and circumference body measures, indices of the components of the body mass composition and func-tional indices of the strongest qualified athletes aged 11-18.
