Integral testing indicators individual features of various playing roles volleyball players at the specialized basic training stage

Abstract

Rationale and purpose: Volleyball has a unique feature of combining both tall attackers and small, fast liberos in one team. The purpose of the study was to develop individual programs of the educational and training process of volleyball players at the stage of specialized basic training based on factor models of their readiness. Material and Methods: The women's volleyball team of the Children's League of Ukraine of sports boarding school No. 1 in the city of Kharkiv took part in the study, in the number of 12 players aged 15-16 years. The testing was carried out on 10 tests of physical fitness. From the methods of statistical analysis, the method of descriptive statistics, factor analysis by the method of principal components with the determination of the individual manifestation of each factor in female athletes, and cluster analysis were used. Results: On the basis of the factor analysis, the structure of the preparedness of volleyball players at the stage of specialized basic training was determined, in which four pronounced factors were revealed. The model of the existing or possible belonging of the players to the role according to the determined factor structure is determined: in the forwards of the first tempo, the factors "speed-power readiness" and "power endurance" come to the fore, in the attackers of the second pace - "speed-power readiness" and "speed endurance", in "communication" - "speed endurance" and "special (aerobic-anaerobic) endurance", in libero - "power endurance" and "special (aerobic-anaerobic) endurance". Using this scheme, you can determine the individual potential opportunities of different players to play in different roles. Conclusions: As a result of the cluster analysis, the functions of volleyball players were clarified and the players most similar to each other in terms of their preparation structure were identified, which sometimes causes some difficulties for coaches when working with athletes with implicitly expressed game functions. Individual profiles of players were compiled and individual recommendations for training volleyball players were developed based on the individual values of readiness factors and the results of cluster analysis.
