Features of physical training of athletes in triathlon

The article examines the features of physical training of triathlon athletes at different stages of sports training. Physical training is the basis of sports training of triathlon athletes. It was found that physical training is a process aimed at developing and improving physical qualities and developing functional capabilities, which create favorable conditions for improving all aspects of triathlon athletes' training. At all stages of sports improvement, physical training occupies a central place in the athletes' training system. This is due to the fact that the athlete ultimately realizes various aspects of preparedness (technical, tactical, mental, etc.) simultaneously with the manifestation of physical qualities - strength, speed, coordination, endurance and flexibility. It was found that this is most evident in the training of high-class athletes, but physical training occupies a central place in the structure of the training process and at other stages of long-term sports improvement. Purpose of the study. To determine the features of the physical training of athletes in triathlon at different stages of sports training. The research methods used are: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical analysis. Research results. It is shown that physical training is divided into general and special. General physical training is aimed at the versatile development of physical qualities, functional capabilities of the athlete’s body systems, the coherence of their manifestations in the process of muscular activity. Special physical training is characterized by the level of development of physical abilities, capabilities of the organs of functional systems, which directly determine achievements in the chosen sport. Conclusions. The features of the physical training of athletes in triathlon at different stages of sports training are determined.
