The thesis is devoted to experimental validation of efficiency of construction of training process of skilled football players on the basis of programming of structural formations of annual macrocycle. In the process of pedagogical research at the stage of the ascertaining experiment, we substantiated the two-cycle system for constructing the training process of skilled football players, determined the content of training of student football teams within the framework of the annual macrocycle on the ratio of multidirectional loads, the structure of competitive activity of players, body composition indicators, physical and functional preparation. The peculiarity of the training of skilled football players at the formative stage of the experiment was the use of programming methods for the construction of structural units of the training process (training tasks, which formed the structure of programs of training sessions, microcycles, stages of the annual cycle of training) within the framework of the annual macrocycle. It was assumed that on the basis of the structure and programs' content of training assignments, taking into account the principles and consistent patterns of the formation of training effects, a more focused impact will be made on the adaptation of football players to the training and competitive loads, as well as increase their technical and tactical expertise. Comparative analysis of the preparation indicators and competitive activity of skilled football players at the stages of the ascertaining and educational experiment has shown the prediction that the construction of the training process of athletes on the basis of programming is effective both in terms of theoretical substantiation and practical implementation. The implementation of programming in the training process of skilled football players in this study was carried out on the basis of the structural-system approach. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment the structure and content of the training process of skilled football players within the framework of the annual macrocycle was developed. At this stage, the indicators of preparation and competitive activity of skilled football players are determined, the correlation of training loads of different orientations in each period of a macrocycle in the two-cycle system of annual preparation of athletes is established. At the educational stage of the experiment, the conceptual approaches to building the training process of skilled football players in the annual macrocycles based on the theory of periodization are substantiated. The programs of individual training tasks, the structure of which consisted of general-preparatory, special-preparatory, subordinate (auxiliary) and competitive exercises, are developed and implemented in the training process. On the basis of programs of training tasks, programs of training sessions that were included into the structure of training microcycles were developed. The programs of training microcycles have become the basis for the development of programs of each cycle of annual preparation of skilled players. The programs of each cycle consisted of four blocks, in which the terms of preparatory, competitive and transition periods, the proportion of types of training work in these periods, indicators of training sessions and games, the ratio of the means of training process and training loads of different orientations, criteria of players preparation in the preparatory, competitive, transition periods of the training process were presented.
