Changes in the physical development and fitness of young basketball players during the first year of basic training in a children's youth sports school

According to the Basketball Program for children’s youth sports schools, specialized children’s youth sports schools of the Olympic reserve, schools of higher sports skills and specialized educational institutions of sports profile sports activity is carried out with students from 8 to 17 years. The purpose to determine the effectiveness of the content used in improving the physical development and fitness of young basketball players during the first year of basic training in a children’s youth sports school. Methods. Using the analysis of literary sources, their systematization and generalization, theoretically identified the age characteristics of young basketball players of basic training groups engaged in children’s youth sports school; Medical and biological methods of research (anthropometry, derivative dimensions of the chest, class dynamometry, wrist dynamometry of the leading hand) made it possible to determine the physical development of young basketball players; Pedagogical research methods (pedagogical testing, ascertaining pedagogical experiment) were used to determine the level of physical training of young basketball players; Methods of mathematical statistics were used to process empirical data. Results. The results of the study on the manifestation of the level of physical development of young basketball players indicate that from the five indicators under study significantly improved only one, namely – the class dynamometry. They tended to improve three indicators of physical development – the length and weight of the body, the deductive dimensions of the chest. One of the indicators (brush dynamometry of the leading hand) has improved by 4.76 %, but the results were reliably uneven (p˃0.05). Of the five indicators of physical fitness of young basketball players of the basic training groups of the first year of study, the results in the test «20 meter run» (characterizes the level of development of speed qualities) have significantly improved. They had some tendency to improve the results in the test tests «60 meter run» and «300 meter run», which accordingly characterize the level of development of speed and endurance. And two test tests «length from place» and «jump up from the place», although improved by 4.95 % and 3.59 %, however, were significantly poor (p˃0.05). Conclusion. The results show that in the course of training coaches it is necessary to pay special attention to the sensitive periods of development of a particular physical quality, to build a training process on taking into account the individual characteristics of growth and development of young basketball players. Use modern technical means of training, improvement and control of motor a
