Ivchenko O. Comprehensive control of the readiness of basketball players at the stage of preliminary basic training

The theoretical analysis of special scientific-methodical literature and normative documentation shows that despite the development of the control system, the theory of tests in sports and basketball in particular, modern trends in children and youth basketball require a scientific substantiation of organizational and managerial measures for comprehensive control taking into account age-related characteristics and the tasks of the training process at the stage of preliminary basic training. In the thesis the algorithm of comprehensive control of the readiness of basketball players at the stage of preliminary basic training was scientifically grounded for the first time, which has the following characteristics: the four-step stage of the control algorithm "organizational stage", "stage of diagnostics", "stage of assessment", "phase of correction"; accounting: tasks of the stage of preliminary basic training; sensitive periods of development of physical qualities during selecting tests for physical preparedness; specific abilities ("feeling of time", "orientation in space", etc.) during selecting special physical fitness tests; the content of the program material of the Children's and Youth Sports School in the assessment of technical preparedness; rational time-consuming techniques for assessing the psycho-physiological state of players; the expansion of criteria for assessing competitive activities in children's and youth basketball, which are aimed at assessing varieties of mistakes; assimilation of the program material; combination of two or three technical elements during attack and defense. A set of tests and indicators for assessing the readiness of basketball players of 13-14 years was determined, based on the experts' opinions and factor analysis, taking into account the leading sides of preparedness, tasks and content of preparation at the stage of preliminary basic training. Integrated assessments and indicative standard scales were developed to determine the level of special physical and technical preparedness with the definition of ranges of preparedness levels - low, lower than average, average, higher than average and high for the stage control of basketball players of 13-14 years. An integrated control algorithm, which we propose, allows us to assess the readiness of basketball players comprehensively with the help of the tests that meet specific peculiarities of competitive activity, is used to correct training and competitive activities and to identify shortcomings and strengths in certain components of training in the due time. The calculation of the dynamics of indicators of fitness of basketball players of 13-14 years in the annual cycle allows to prepare training very rationally and accurately, to solve three groups of tasks: the first group - individual tasks for each individual player; the second group - differentiated or group tasks; the third group - tasks for the team as a whole. The proposed algorithm for comprehensive control of the readiness of basketball players at the stage of preliminary basic training increases the effectiveness of the management of training and competitive processes, which provides the basis for its introduction into the training process of the work of Children's and Youth Sports School, Specialized Children's and Youth School of Olympic Reserve and School of High Sports Excellence.
