Discriminitive technique of selecting sportsmen according to psychomotor potential for specialization in volleyball

Statement of the problem. The article analyzes the issue of the lack of modern methods and principles of sports selection for the specialization of “volleyball”, selection according to psychomotor abilities and their potential. If we consider the coincidence of the age periods of the primary selection and the formation of the psychomotor abilities of a person, the issue can be compensated by collecting accessible and effective methods into a single technique. The purpose of the article is to develop an effective technique for discriminative selection of sportsmen for Volleyball specialization. Research methodology. Having studied and compared the available methods for the development of human psychomotor abilities and methods for testing them by Russian and international authors, the most important development parameters for specialization were identified. The concept of the formation of teaching materials was determined by the availability of material and technical equipment, recognition by the scientific community. Research results. A teaching technique for testing and rapid development of special qualities based on the integration of exercises that have an affordable material and technical equipment, selected from scientific works and practices, has been developed. The test part of the technique consists of seven exercise tests, each of which determines the psychosensory reaction before and after the training cycle. The set of exercises has several options that should be applied in accordance with the age and preparation of the test. In addition to developing exercises, the teaching technique contains recommendations for tracking athletes' indicators in terms of heart rate during exercise, oxygen consumption and body growth parameters by anthropometric indicators. Conclusion. The test results reflect reliable positive changes associated with the development of the player's ability to control parameters, time, space, effort, and a complex reaction of choice. The use of the presented test technique aimed at developing special qualities by differentiating motor parameters complements the classical methods of sports selection. It is an effective method of selecting athletes according to their psychomotor abilities for the Volleyball specialization.
