Training load management of highly qualified acrobatists in the competition period of the annual training cycle

Relevance. The goal of the educational and training process in high-performance sports is to prepare athletes for effective performances in specific competitions. In this regard, the rational planning of training and competitive loads in individual structural elements of the annual macrocycle becomes the fundamental basis for effective management of pre-competition preparation. The purpose of the study is to optimize the educational and training process of highly qualified athletes in acrobatic trios based on the implementation of effective ways to manage loads in the competitive period of the annual training cycle. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, timing. Research results. The conducted studies made it possible to calculate and distribute, in accordance with the small, medium, large and impact zones, quantitative indicators of the load in acrobatic trios. A promising technological scheme for managing pre-competition loads has been determined, which consists in its dynamics and sequential alternation of microcycles: preparatory, impact, stabilizing and competitive. It has been established that the volume indicators in the preparatory microcycle should be in the "average" load zone (1964-2553 elements), which helps to maintain a sufficient level of special performance. It is advisable to plan the shock microcycle to increase the level of special endurance and stimulate the adaptation processes of female athletes. In this case, the volume indicators should be increased to 3829 or more elements, with the main attention paid to the stability of serial performance of competitive compositions with a minimum rest interval and a heart rate of 180 beats per minute. The volume of training loads in the stabilizing microcycle is 2553 elements and corresponds to the "high"load zone, at which the state of athletic form is stabilized with a heart rate of 170 beats per minute. In the competitive microcycle, the load volume corresponds to the competition regulations at the level of 1309 elements.
