The dissertation is dedicated to the construction of training for female athletes specializing in the discipline of cheer-dance-freestyle-duet, throughout the annual cycle and stages of direct preparation for the main competitions of the year, and to the system of monitoring the state of the athletes' bodies during competition preparation.
The aim of the research is to develop the structure and content of the annual cycle and the stage of direct preparation of high-qualified athletes for the main competitions of the year in cheerleading, in the discipline of cheer-dance-freestyle-duet, taking into account the regularities of the training process construction.
The object of the study is the preparation of athletes for cheerleading competitions.
The research employed various methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of specialized scientific-methodological literature, Internet data, analysis of competitive activity and preparation plans of the female athletes, pedagogical observation, stabilography, psychological and psychophysiological diagnostics, anthropometric methods, body composition determination, and methods of mathematical statistics.
The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time: a scientific analysis of the approaches and regularities in the construction and programming of the training process and competitive activities has been conducted, and an approach to the construction of the training process for high-qualification female athletes in cheerleading in the discipline of cheer-dance-freestyle-duet has been substantiated; a training plan and the content of the stage of direct preparation for the main competitions of the year for qualified female athletes in cheerleading in the discipline of cheer-dance-freestyle-duet have been substantiated and developed, taking into account the specifics of the competition calendar and the peculiarities of the sport; an algorithm for constructing the stage of direct preparation for competitions in cheerleading has been developed; a program for monitoring the condition of female athletes during the preparation for the main competitions of the year has been proposed, using instrumental methods for assessing the stability and balance of athletes, psychological characteristics, psychophysiological indicators, and body composition. The work supplements data on the regularities in the construction and programming of the training process, competitive activities in sports, complex coordination sports, and in cheerleading. It has been confirmed and supplemented with data regarding the effectiveness of the current control program for monitoring the condition of athletes in preparation for the main competitions, the use of stabilography, psychological and psychophysiological diagnostic methods, and the evaluation of body composition in the process of monitoring the athletes' level of preparedness.
A two-cycle annual training model for the Ukrainian national cheerleading team in the discipline of cheer dance freestyle duet was developed. The direct preparation phase for competition, lasting 6 weeks, included two mesocycles of 3 weeks each. A 7-week direct preparation phase contained two mesocycles: a control-preparation cycle of 4 weeks and a pre-competition mesocycle of 3 weeks. A monitoring program was developed to assess the athletes' condition during competition preparation based on biomechanical (stabilography), psychological, psychophysiological, and anthropometric indicators.
