Some Methodological Issues In Developing Athletes' Performance Endurance Capacity

In Mongolia, the current high-performance athletics training system lacks the necessary structure to accurately account for variations in athletes' training levels, both in terms of organization and external assessment. The present state of Mongolian athletics and the performance of athletes in competitions highlight the need for enhanced long-term training planning across all disciplines, including sprinting, jumping, and throwing. Additionally, there is a pressing need to develop more effective training methodologies to prepare promising athletes for success at the international level. A comparative analysis indicates that the average time of the top eight Mongolian male sprinters in the 100- meter sprint (10.43 seconds, based on archival data from the National Championships) is 0.47 seconds slower than the average of the top eight sprinters at the World Championships (9.94 seconds) and 0.21 seconds slower than the average at the Asian Athletics Championships (10.22 seconds) (Asian Athletics Federation). Our study examined variations in running speeds at 150 m, 200 m, and 300 m, which serve as key indicators of sprint endurance. Notably, all athletes exhibited a faster running speed of over 200 m compared to 150 m, underscoring its significance as the primary distance in short-distance sprinting. However, a decline in speed was observed at 300 m, with athletes A1, A4, and A5 experiencing less reduction in speed than their counterparts. This suggests that structured speed-endurance training can be effectively implemented. For athletes A2, A3, A6, A7, and A8, it was deemed necessary to increase training load and intensity to enhance their speed endurance.
