BASES OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ATHLETES-THROWERS’ SPEED AND POWER QUALITIES DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROCESS OF TRAINING 

Long-term training of highly-qualified athletes-throwers is impossible without considering one of its main aspects – methods of teaching. The review of recent researches and curricula on the improvement of speed and power training of athletesthrowers shows that the methods of training do not meet the modern standards. The low level of methodical developments is considered to be the main reason of this phenomenon. One of the most important factors predicting the skills of a sportsman and improving his/her speed and power training is his/her ability to manifest great muscle efforts. Many scientists are sure that this quality improves the efficiency of sport activities, especially it concerns athletes-throwers. Training is a multi-sided process, where all factors providing the necessary level of sportsman’s readiness for good sport results is used. The most important physical qualities of athletes-throwers are speed and power. There has been conducted a special experiment involving two groups of students-athletes aged from 17 to 19 (control and experimental groups) at the beginning and at the end of the academic year. The experiment was aimed at studying the level of the development of their speed and power qualities. The experimental group was trained using specially developed program aiming to develop their speed and power qualities within a short period of time. It has been revealed that less than in a half a year students from the experimental group showed better results compared to the students from the control group, who performed traditional exercises.
