Objective of the study was to experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of the methodology of psychological adaptation of qualified football players to training and competitive loads.
Methods and structure of research. When developing the methodology of psychological adaptation to training and competitive loads, we considered the psychological factors. The effectiveness of the developed methodology was assessed in an educational experiment, which involved 36 qualified (Class II and I ) football players aged 15-17 years. They were divided into 2 groups: Control (CG) and Experimental (EG) Groups, 18 players of different positions each: forwards, defenders and midfielders, 6 players each, respectively. In the CG, the training sessions were conducted according to the generally accepted methodology. In the EG, the developed methodology of psychological adaptation to various training and competitive loads was used.
Results of the study. The analysis of the results of the educational experiment showed that under the influence of systematic training loads, the indicators improved in both groups with a pronounced advantage in the EG. A more significant improvement of the technical fitness level in the EG subjects was associated with the inclusion in the lesson plan of psychological training. This contributed to an increase in the athletes’ self-confidence, formation in them of skills of self-control of motor actions; psychoemotional self-control skills; motivation for additional independent classes aimed to improve the individual technique of execution of the elements of motor actions that make up the content of football.
Conclusions. Psychological adaptation to changing training and competitive loads is a significant factor in increasing the level of sport mastery of qualified football players of 15-17 years of age, which ensures improved stress resistance under the influence of adverse environmental factors; focusing on the technique of execution of motor actions, etc.
