To the issue of identification of effective ways to overcome obstacles in cross-country race

The article presents data of model experiment aimed at identifying of the most efficient elements of cross-country race namely ways to overcome the obstacles that are needed to use in the process of physical education of students. It is known that track and field athletics cross-country is one of the most important means of physical training as applied exercise. However during the analysis of special literature it was established that now practically there is no technique of training in ways of overcoming of obstacles in track and field athletics cross-country. In this regard the objective of this research was to identify the most perspective ways of training to overcome obstacles namely crosscountry elements. Research included carrying out model experiment which was used for identification of the most rational ways of obstacles overcoming from the point of view of probability and the performance speed. The obtained data allow to note that for overcoming of horizontal obstacles it is necessary to use walking ("overstep"), a jump "in a step" (for overcoming of obstacles, narrow and average in size), and also a jump "having bent legs" (when overcoming average and wide barriers); the most rational ways of overcoming of low vertical obstacles are " the running (barrier) step" and the way of "stepping"; when overcoming average vertical obstacles as the most rational ways it is necessary to consider "the barrier step", option "stepping" and the vault "sideways"; in the course of overcoming of high vertical obstacles it is necessary to give preference to two ways of getting over: "falling over" and "passing the legs over". The data obtained during the research allow to plan expediently the process of physical training according to the section "Cross Preparation".
