Objective of the study was to offer and test benefits of a cycled bobsleigh basics training system for the 13-14 year-old first-year trainees with a special emphasis on physical fitness.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study two beginner groups (of pushers and pilots, with no intergroup transitions allowed) on the following grounds: health; functionality of the bodily systems (with medical examination certificates); physical qualities tested by a set of traditional power, speed, speed-strength, coordination and flexibility tests including the 30m start/ run sprint test, 30s abs test, push-ups and pull-ups test, standing long jump, front lean and eyes-closed one-leg standing pre-training tests. The group progresses were tested by the same post-training tests complemented by the wheelbarrow acceleration and weighted squats tests.
Results and conclusion. The study found that the beginner training service shall be structured in micro-cycles and meso-cycles and prudently managed to prevent execution errors, injuries and overtraining. Every first-year training practice shall priorities physical progress of the trainees. The pre- versus post-training tests showed the new cycled bobsleigh basics training system for the 13-14 year-old first-year trainees being beneficial for their physical fitness and qualifications for special competitive training service.

Keywords: bobsleigh, physical fitness excelling, athlete’s competitive fitness.
