Peculiarities of shock microcycles in the training process of athletes using the Concept-2 ergometer

Abstract

The events of recent years could not but affect the sports life of the country. The Covid-19 pandemic and the full-scale war in Ukraine had a significant impact on the progress and construction of the athletes' training process. For quite a long period of time, athletes were not able to participate in the training process and take part in competitions. During such restrictions, specialists and coaches in academic rowing were forced to search for new, experimental programs and methods that would allow maintaining the athletic form of the athlete and adequately approach decisive competitions. This was especially true of highly qualified athletes. Issues of building the training process always occupy a crucial place in planning, therefore the use of simulators, ergometers and devices have become more useful than ever and helped to solve the issues of planning and building the training process in a qualified manner. The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate and experimentally verify the methodology of building shock microcycles in the training process of rowers using the Concept-2 ergometer. Research methods. During the research, the method of analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical analysis and observation, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, ergometry method, method of assessing the special working capacity of rowers-academics based on the "Concept-2" ergometer, statistical analysis was used. Research results. According to the results of the study, the peculiarities of building training microcycles using the "Concept-2" ergometer were determined. Conclusions. It was established that the use of the experimental technique of building impact microcycles in the training process of rowers using the "Concept-2" ergometer improved the sports results of athletes.
