Objective of the study was to identification of modern trends in scientific research of sports training in freestyle.
Methods and structure of the study. The work used the methods of theoretical analysis of literary sources and systematization of data. To study and collect scientific material, the PubMed and Research Gate databases were used.
Results and conclusions. It was found that modern trends in research in freestyle acrobatics are associated with the development of innovative systems for monitoring the physical fitness of elite athletes, based on specific indicators of fitness, their factor weight and a scale of standard values. The use of this model made it possible to describe the champion model. Another important area is a study using computer modeling, which showed that the main limiting factor in the twisting technique of acrobats is the increased frontal moment of inertia of the body due to sports equipment. Sports biomechanics is focused on the study of the phase structure of the technique of a competitive exercise in acrobatics. The importance of including exercises to develop the core stabilizing muscles, which improve the kinetics of freestyle skiers landing, is shown. In moguls, the importance of developing explosive power in elite moguls is noted. In some freestyle disciplines with high jumps, it is important to take into account the landing force that affects the athletes' muscles. In general, the presented results can be useful for coaches and specialists in improving the training process of freestyle skiers.
