Programming of the training process of qualified football players in the competitive period of the macrocycle

The article deals with the methodical approach to the construction of the training process of qualified football players in the competitive period of the macrocycle on the basis of programming. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the effectiveness of training qualifiedfootball players in the competitive period of the macrocycle based on the programming of the training process. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical observation, chronometration, testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Qualified football players aged 18-26 have participated in the study. Sports qualification 1st degree, sub-master sportsman. Results and conclusions. According to the calendar of the competitions the competitive period of the first macrocycle within the three-cycle annual training process lasted 75 days. During this period 14 microcycles were conducted, two of them were competitive and three recovery-maintenance ones. It was established that non-specific (general preparatory) exercises in competitive microcycles comprised 28,1 to 38,6%, special preparatory exercises from 6,7 to 11,5%, preliminaryexercisesfrom 21,5 to 38,6 % and competitive exercises – from29,1 to 33,3%. In recovery-maintenance microcycles the largest share was received by the general preparatory exercises – 60,2%. 10,2% were allocated for special preparatory exercises, 29,6% of training hours for the preliminary exercises.Competitive exercises in these microcycles were not practised. It is determined that the average amount of load in the training sessions of the competitive macrocycles ranges from 482 to 1292 points and the intensity index of training sessions – from5,6 to 9,9 points·min-1. In recoverymaintenancemicrocycles these indicators are in the range from 264 to 505 points and from 3,9 to 5,6 points·min1. The training of qualifiedfootball players in the competitive periods of macrocycles should be heldaccording to the theory of periodization of sports training. An optimal methodical approach to the construction of the training process for qualifiedfootball players is programming.
