Individualization in the system of training of elite weightlifters based on biochemical criteria of the body state assessment

Aim. To test method of assessment of the functional status in skilled athletes for individualization and optimization of the training process. Materials and Methods. Three-year study involved 25 weightlifters (n = 25). All the participants were young men, aged 17-23, qualified as Masters of Sport and Candidates for Master of Sport. Results. Individualization of pre-competitive conditioning in the experimental group revealed low content of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products in saliva. In the end of the experiment it was established that levels of heptane-soluble LPO in the experimental group was significantly decreased (p
