Development of endurance in cross-country skiers aged 13-14

Abstract

Relevance. The age period of 13-14 years is characterized by the fact that there are prerequisites for the development of both aerobic and anaerobic energy supply pathways. At the same time, active restructuring of the central nervous system makes it possible to effectively correct the development of coordination abilities. The special endurance of ski racers is determined by the ability to maintain a high rate of movement and the ability to rebuild high-speed movement parameters.

Purpose. Increasing the level of special endurance among ski racers aged 13-14.

Methodology and organization of the research. The content of the pedagogical experiment is the use in the experimental group of a specially selected set of exercises aimed at developing coordination, strength endurance, psychological stability, improving techniques and tactics of movement on skis. The pedagogical experiment was conducted directly during the training sessions.

The results of the research. We have developed a methodology for developing endurance among ski racers at the stage of sports specialization, based on the inclusion of exercises for the development of speed and power endurance in the training program.

Conclusions. An increase in the results of the athletes of the experimental group was observed in all tests compared with the control group. Thus, it can be argued that the methodology we have developed for the development of special endurance is effective for use in the training process of ski racers at the stage of sports specialization.
