Petrenko O. Technical training of 13-15-year-old female athletes considering individual characteristics of competitive activity in beach volleyball.

Object – technical training in beach volleyball; Methods – theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature; sociological research methods; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics; Scientific Novelty – for the first time, the content of individualized technical training programs in beach volleyball has been substantiated, taking into account the structure of technical actions performed by female athletes aged 13-15 years; for the first time, an algorithm for the technical training of female beach volleyball athletes aged 13-15 years has been substantiated, taking into account individual characteristics of competitive activity; for the first time, the nomenclature of technical actions performed by female beach volleyball athletes has been established according to age, playing position, court zone based on a six-zone scheme, and the effectiveness of competitive activity; the system for assessing the technical preparedness of female beach volleyball athletes has been improved; scientific data on the content of technical preparedness of female beach volleyball athletes have been further developed; results – the nomenclature and characteristics of technical actions performed by female beach volleyball athletes have been determined. The relative contribution of serving, serve reception, setting, attacking hits, blocking, and defensive ball reception in the structure of competitive activity of female athletes aged 13-15 years has been established, depending on playing position, court zone, and match outcome. An algorithm for the technical training of female beach volleyball athletes aged 13-15 years has been developed and implemented as a sequential system for transitioning from indicators of competitive activity to the specific content of the training process through the formation of individualized programs using the computer application “VolTech”. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirm that individualized technical training programs developed on the basis of the characteristics of athletes’ competitive activity ensure a significantly greater improvement in technical preparedness indicators compared with traditional forms of training; Field of Study – 01 Education/Pedagogy, specialty 017 Physical Culture and Sports.
