THE INFLUENCE OF THE AUTHOR'S TRAINING PROGRAM ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ATHLETES WITH DISABILITIES IN POWERLIFTING

Abstract

The lack of scientifically based training programs in accordance with the nosological characteristics of athletes in powerlifting leads to the introduction into the practice of adaptive sports of not adapted approaches to the training of powerlifters, which has a negative impact on the health and quality of life of people with disabilities. The aim of the study is to identify the degree of impact of the author's training program on the quality of life of powerlifters with disabilities at the stage of initial training. Method and methodology of work. To solve this goal, the analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature was used; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The study was conducted with the involvement of 20 athletes with visual impairments and 20 people with musculoskeletal injuries. Results. Analysis of the results of the survey using SF-36 powerlifters of different nosological groups before and after the experiment confirms that after the implementation of the author's program at the stage of initial training there was an increase in their quality of life. Among the athletes of the experimental groups, reliable indicators of quality of life growth were found in all scales. In athletes with injuries of the musculoskeletal system of the control group, a significant improvement in quality of life is available on six scales out of ten, and among people with visual impairments in the control group, no reliable indicators of growth were found. The obtained results confirm that the effectiveness of the author's training program for powerlifters of different nosological groups is much higher than the effectiveness of the standard training program. Conclusions. A statistically significant increase in quality of life indicators may indicate the possibility of reducing the negative impact of lost functions and quality of life of athletes with disabilities through powerlifting and the effectiveness of the author's training program for powerlifters of different nosological groups at the initial stage.
