On methods of assessing physical performance

Relevance. This article describes approaches to assessing physical performance in the context of optimizing the functional state of athletes. The analysis of physical working capacity in terms of its external (indicators of motor activity) and internal (biological determinants) manifestations is given. A methodology for assessing physical performance is proposed, which makes it possible to manage the functional state of an athlete. The purpose of the work is to optimize the physical performance of athletes. Methods and organization of research. In the proposed method, it is possible to determine the pulse of the aerobic threshold (AP), the threshold of anaerobic metabolism (APO), the power of the load to be overcome, and the efficiency of breathing. At different stages of athletic training, the athlete's condition changes, which, when repeated, is reflected in graphs characterizing physical performance, aerobic or anaerobic, as well as fatigue or fatigue. The data obtained makes it possible to evaluate the results of previous sports activities and plan subsequent activities. Conclusions. Physical performance is a dynamic potential state of a person, determined by the nature of energy supply of his motor activity. It is possible to objectively assess physical performance in relation to the integral determinants accompanying athletic activity, namely external respiration to the load capacity for a certain time.
