Dynamics of psychophysiological state of young athletes as a criterion for the effectiveness of training loads in gymnastics

The relevance is due to the need to study the psychophysiological parameters of gymnasts aged 10-12 years to optimize the training process and achieve high results in competitions. The purpose of the study is to establish changes in the psychophysiological state of athletes of this age under the influence of training loads, as well as to establish the relationship between psychophysiological changes and competitive results. Objectives of the study: 1) determine the magnitude of psychophysiological changes in young gymnasts 10-12years old after training load; 2) establish the relationship between psychophysiological changes and competitive results. To achieve these goals, various methods were used, including analysis of literary sources, psychophysiological testing, analysis of competition protocols and methods of statistical data processing. The study involved 6 male gymnasts of equal qualifications, their psychophysiological parameters were recorded before and after training loads. Organization of the study: to assess the level of impact of training loads on the athlete's body, psychophysiological indicators were recorded using the "Sports Psychophysiolo-gist" hardware and software complex. Recorded parameters: light reaction time (hand (ms), sound reaction time (hand (ms), choice reaction time (ms), critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF), tapping test (number of clicks). Measurements were carried out at the beginning and end of the training session. The results of the study showed that the studied indicators recorded before and after training in most cases do not differ significantly. Only two of the studied indicators correlate with the results of athletes' performances in competitions: reaction time to sound and tapping test. The data obtained may be related to the characteristics of training loads and their adequacy to the gymnasts' capabilities. At the same time, the data obtained indicate the relevance of finding psychophysiological indicators that allow us to identify the reaction of gymnasts to training loads Conclusions. The results obtained indicate the need to make corrections in planning the training process of gymnasts aged 10-12 years. To substantiate these changes, it is necessary to accumulate data on changes in psychophysi-ological parameters depending on the volume and intensity of the load. It is also necessary to establish sensitive psycho-physiological indicators of athletes' response to training loads. The proposed long-term, at least two-year study in the described direction will provide objective information on the regulation of the parameters of the training process for gymnasts of this age.
