The analysis of scientific and methodological literature showed that today the problem of improving the system of medical-biological control over the training of athletes of high qualification is one of the most topical in sport of higher achievements.
The inadequate effectiveness of the existing system of control over the level of functional readiness is associated with a set of causes, namely: the discrepancy in the list of indicators that most objectively reflect the current level of functional readiness; necessity of application in most cases significant on capacity of physical activity; the lack of a quantitative assessment of most of the parameters of functional preparedness, depending on age, gender and qualifications of athletes; the lack of an integral indicator for assessing the level of functional preparedness, which is a prerequisite for quality control of the development of other types of preparedness.
In general, this reduces the effectiveness of the training process of athletes and indicates the need to develop new scientific and methodological approaches to optimize the system of control on the level of functional preparedness of athletes of different specializations and qualifications. A promising approach to the practical solution of this problem may be the direction associated with the development of informative methods of integrated express assessment of functional readiness using the latest advances in IT technologies. In connection with the undoubted relevance and practical significance of this problem in our study, we studied the effectiveness of the use of the traditional approach to express assessment of the level of functional preparedness of athletes of different specializations in the system of control, developed its own innovative method for determining this indicator and defined the degree of coherence of the parameters of the functional preparedness, which was determined by direct (laboratory) and indirect (innovative) method study.
The results of the confirmatory experiment indicated that the traditional approach to express assessment of functional preparedness was inadequate, the use of which in the system of control did not allow to obtain objective information about the actual current level of functional readiness, which did not allow to make the appropriate correction of the program of training sessions for the improvement of other types preparedness of athletes, in particular, special physical. Taking into account the given data, an own innovative method of express assessment of the current level of fitness of athletes was developed, which involves the use of the traditional submaximal test PWC170 in conjunction with the developed computer program "Sport-express". The basis of this program is the well-known theoretical understanding of the nature of the change in the functional state of the body during the exercise of physical loads of different power, and its feature is that only on the basis of the said 10-minute submaximal test PWC170 calculated virtually all parameters of the functional preparedness of the organism, which are ranked on functional classes "low", "below average", "average", "above average" or "high" with the help of specially designed assessment scales.
The use of the method developed by the molding experiment helped to increase the efficiency of the system control and training process of athletes of high qualification of different specializations (volleyball, basketball, handball, track and field athletics) within the preparatory period of the annual macrocycle: relative changes of all parameters of special physical preparedness of athletes, regardless of sex and sport, which were registered to the completion of the molding experiment, significantly (p <0,05) exceeded the values in the bottom changes of these indicators to the completion of the recording experiment (among volleyball players - 2-14%, among volleyball players – by 2-20%, in basketball players - by 2-3%, handball players - by 2-4%, and among the runner for short distances - by 2-6%).
The results of the conducted research allow to recommend the developed innovative method of express evaluation of the level of functional preparedness and its separate components for practical use in the system of control of athletes of high qualification.
