Improvement of organizational and methodological support of the basic mesocycle of judo training

The strategy of searching for new approaches to improving the training process requires knowledge about the capabilities of the bodies of men and women. The purpose of the study is to improve the organization and content of the basic mesocycle of training for female judoists, taking into account the biological characteristics of the female body. Material and methods of research: achieving the goal involved solving the tasks set using a set of methods, in particular general scientific, practical, and methods of mathematical statistics. The analysis of special and scientific and methodological literature was aimed at identifying modern approaches to building the training process for female athletes specializing in judo. Special endurance was analyzed based on the SJFT test. Speed was assessed by performing the uchi-komi exercise without taking the partner’s legs off the tatami for 30 seconds. Coordination abilities were assessed based on the results of performing 10 rolls over a partner and 5 runs on a bridge around the head to the right and left. The processing of the obtained empirical data was carried out using adequate methods of mathematical statistics. The results: five options for constructing microcycles were identified, which differ in the parameters of training loads of different orientations. Using the program, it was established that the results of female athletes in most tests were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than at the beginning of the experiment. In particular, changes in special fitness indicators were recorded according to the results of the special SJFT test: the special endurance index improved by 3.67 % (p < 0.05). A significant improvement was also observed in the «uchi-komi speed test for 30 s», where the number of repetitions increased by 5.49 %. Conclusions: the conducted pedagogical experiment demonstrated that optimizing the organization and content of training loads, taking into account the biological characteristics of the female body, contributes to increasing the level of special fitness of female judokas.
