Medical and biological support as a factor in enhancing sports training effectiveness

The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the medical and biological support of the educational and training process and sports activities as a necessary condition for increasing the effectiveness of sports training, taking into account the modern achievements of sports science and practice. Research methods and organization. The research base is represented by a set of sources (current sports legislation, scientific and specialized literature) and methodological principles, among which two main ones can be distinguished: the normative-target approach to the study of legal sources regulating relations in the field of medical and biological support of sports training, as well as systemic analysis, which allows this type of support to be identified as one of the key aspects of improving an athlete's performance at all stages of the long-term process of their training. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that the medical and biological support of athletic training constitutes a set of activities that are diverse in direction and integrated with each other – ranging from the restoration of athletes' performance following maximal loads to the conduct of fundamental scientific research in the field of sports medicine, taking into account the resolution of both basic and applied tasks. The importance of medical and biological support in the holistic (long-term, directed, and managed) process of athlete training has been emphasized. The overarching conclusion of the study is the necessity for further research into the medical and biological aspects of athletic training, considering current trends in sports science and practice.
