Khokhlov G. Speed-power preparation of the qualified skiers - racers in the preparatory period in view of their participation in competitions on sprint

To devise and ground the methodics of development of speed-power qualities of skiers-racers of top qualification in preparatory period in view of their participation in sprint competitions. Theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific-methodical literature and statistic data, pedagogical research and experiment; medico-biological methods of research; mathematical statistics. Practical meaning of results achieved serves to their possibility of widely usage in process of development of physical skills necessary for skiers-racers participating in competitions on sprint distance. Determined are the main conditions and factors having impact on sports result in sprint racing; also analyzed complexly the indices of anthrometry, functional, physical, technique and specialized preparedness qualified skiers-racers, participating in competitions on sprint, established are the structure and contents correlative interconnections between the above indeses and outcomes in competitions on sprint of skiers-racers; at the first time established the difference of factoral structure of the skiers-racers preparedness successfully performing in traditional ski races and sprint; grounded are the optimal tactical variants of passing sprint racing depending on individual peculiarities of organism and level of the physical skills development; devised and grounded are the training programs of development of speed-power skills with qualified skiers-racers in preparatory period in view of their preparation for competitions on sprint. Practical significance of paper is proved by acts of instilment of research results at the different levels of the skiers-racers preparation. Achieved results are included also in programs of theoretical courses in theory and methodics of skiing at Kharkov State Academy of Physical Culture and training programs on ski races at Kharkov regional high school of physical culture. Application sphere is physical education and sport
