The main approaches to solving the issues of technical training of weightlifters of training groups (based on the results of a questionnaire of trainers)

Relevance. In weightlifting, the constant growth of sports results in competitive exercises is ensured not only by the physical strength of athletes, but also by improving the technique of movements. In the process of long-term training of weightlifters, the tasks and content of technical training change. If at the initial stages the main task is related to mastering the basics of sports equipment, then at the next stages technical training is reduced to improving the technique of competitive exercises to the level of a solid skill, and then – specialized training, which is based on taking into account the individual characteristics of athletes. Hence, based on the tasks of a particular stage of training, the selection of training tools and methods of their application is carried out. At the same time, the training stage is highlighted, when the technique of competitive exercises is mastered, but needs improvement. The questions that arise in this case are solved in different ways by trainers and many of them have not yet found their scientific justification. This indicates the relevance of this study. The purpose of the study: to identify problematic issues of technical training of weightlifters based on the results of a questionnaire of trainers. Research methods – analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature and practical experience of trainers, questionnaires, methods of mathematical statistics. 25 coaches with work experience from 7 to 35 years took part in the survey. The results of the study. The survey made it possible to deduce the use by trainers of a predominantly visual method of controlling the technique of weightlifters’ movements. The coaches’ opinions on the sequence and expediency of exercises to improve the technique of movements depend on the length of service. The unified point of view of the trainers about the optimal training weight of the barbell for improving the technique of the classic jerk, which is 70% of the best result and the optimal number of repetitions – 2-3 times, was revealed. Conclusion. The conducted questionnaire of trainers revealed both common views and different approaches to solving issues of technical training of weightlifters of training groups from coaches with different work experience. It is advisable to use the results of the questionnaire of weightlifting coaches in assessing the biomechanical structure of classical exercises and determining the prospects for further pedagogical research.
