Methodology for assessing the special strength training of qualified football players

The article presents the results obtained during the study of the power capabilities of qualified football players in the annual cycle. To develop the strength potential of the players, two main methods were chosen: the method of unsaturated repeated efforts and the circular method. The data obtained showed that with an increase in the power component, an increase in speed abilities follows, which has a positive effect on the playing activity of football players. It is noteworthy that players with relatively large displays of strength have low rates of explosive effort. After applying the methodology, this indicator gained the largest increase. The recommendations received will help to adjust the training process, which is aimed at developing the strength capabilities of qualified football players and for players’ more optimal preparation for the competitive season.
