Objective of the present study was to assess the effects of the developed training complexes on the level of development of special physical fitness of highly-skilled short trackers in the preparatory period.
Methods and structure of the study. The experiment involved two groups of highly-skilled skaters specializing in short track – Control and Experimental Groups. The study included the ice-skating tests to determine the level of development of the athletes’ special speed endurance at a distance of 1,000 m.
Results of the study and discussion. Based on the results of the test aimed to determine the level of development of speed endurance in the highly-skilled short trackers (men and women), it was found that the introduction of a special set of training means to raise the level of the athletes’ speed endurance skills improved the technical result in the 1,000 m test. After the experiment, there were statistically significant differences in the test results between the Control and Experimental Groups (p<0.05). The highly-skilled athletes (women and men) of the Experimental Group began to maintain a higher speed in lap racing as opposed to the Control Group athletes.
Therefore, the exercises sequence to raise the level of special speed endurance skills in the highly-skilled short-trackers at the main stages of the one-year training cycle proved its effectiveness.

Keywords: special speed endurance, speed dynamics, short track.
