USING THE PICO MODEL TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF TRAINING PERIODIZATION ON FEMALE POWERLIFTER PERFORMANCE

Abstract. There are conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of different periodization models, highlighting the need for additional research in this area. Using the PICO model to evaluate the effectiveness of periodization methods may facilitate the development of more individualized training programs that consider the physiological characteristics of women and allow achieving maximum results in powerlifting. The results of this study may have a significant impact on sports practice, helping coaches and athletes optimize the training process and achieve high results without an increased risk of injury and fatigue. This, in turn, contributes to improving the overall level of training and competitiveness of female powerlifters in the international arena.The purpose of the study. To evaluate the impact of different training periodization methods on strength and endurance performance in powerlifters using PICO model, identifying the most effective approaches for improving athletic performance. Research methods and materials. 1. The analysis of literary sources included the study of scientific works, articles and methodological recommendations concerning the periodization of training in powerlifting. 2. Pedagogical experience. 3. Control tests. 4. Methods of mathematical statistics. The study results. After 12 weeks of training, improvements in strength and endurance were seen in all three groups. However, the group using block periodization showed the greatest gains in all exercises tested, indicating that this approach is highly effective in improving strength and endurance in powerlifters. Conclusions. 1. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that block periodization is the most effective method for improving strength and endurance in powerlifters. 2. Non-linear periodization has also shown high efficiency, especially for maintaining constant progress in strength development and avoiding plateaus. 3. Although Linear periodization helps improve strength indicators, it is less effective than other methods, especially for high-level athletes. It can be useful for beginner and intermediate athletes, but to achieve maximum results, it is recommended to use more dynamic approaches. 4. The use of the PICO model makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of various periodization methods and develop scientifically based recommendations for optimizing the training process in powerlifting.
