METHODOLOGY FOR TRAINING ENDURANCE IN MIDDLE-DISTANCE RUNNERS IN THE BEGINNING PREPARATION GROUP

Abstract

This article is devoted to the topic “Methodology of training endurance in middle-distance runners engaged in the initial training group” and is aimed at highlighting effective methods for the formation and development of endurance, one of the important components of the physical fitness of athletes. Middle-distance running is based on complex energy processes, which constantly puts a load on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Therefore, the need to gradually and scientifically build endurance at the initial training stage, taking into account the individual characteristics of athletes, is considered an urgent issue. The article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the composition, intensity, volume of middle-distance running training and their impact on the body of young athletes. It also covers pedagogical methods used in the formation of endurance, cyclic and interval forms of training, their physiological foundations and practical effectiveness. Using methods identified on the basis of practical observations, the ways of improving the physical fitness of athletes, especially gait, respiratory coordination, and energy efficiency, were analyzed. The results of the study showed a clear and stable increase in the level of endurance in athletes of the initial training group. This article is of theoretical and practical importance for coaches working with middle-distance runners, sports educators, and researchers conducting scientific research in the field of physical education, and is enriched with methodological proposals aimed at developing endurance in athletes.
