Rimar Y. Improvement of physical and functional preparedness of athletes in academic rowing at the stage of initial training

The thesis is devoted to development and evaluation of the efficiency of the authorial program of training sessions for young 12-13 year-old athletes, who specialize in academic rowing, on the initial stage of sporting preparation. The paper analyses the initial level of physical capacity, physical and functional preparedness of young rowers aged 12-13 years, as well as the features of dynamics of these parameters influenced by traditional and experimental training program on the preparatory period of the initial stage of athletic training. The aim of the research is to study and justify the content of experimental program of planning training sessions for young 12-13 year-old rowers on the preparatory period of the initial stage of training, aimed at improving their physical and functional preparedness by identifying individual energy cost. The proposed program has got such features: a redistribution of the volume training loads with a focus on increasing the amount of special training on water and aerobic exercise, and a method of individual dosage of physical activity by calculating the optimal values of energy consumption for certain types of physical activity, corresponding to the content of individual training sessions. It is proved that using of the experimental program of training sessions for 12-13 year-old rowers at the initial stage of sporting preparation promotes optimizing their physical and functional preparedness. The paper has extended the theoretical data on the physical and functional preparedness of 12-13 year-old rowers at the stage of initial training through the use of modern computer software "OBERIG".
