The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the training process of hockey players aged 10-13 years based on the application of a comprehensive assessment of athletic fitness.
Methodology and organization of research. Scientific work on ice hockey was carried out during 2022-2025 on the basis of specialized sports schools in Moscow. It was attended by 40 young athletes aged 10-13 who are engaged in hockey at the stage of sports specialization. To test the effectiveness of the training process of young hockey players, two groups were formed as part of a formative pedagogical experiment: a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), with 20 people each. Both groups were involved in the IIHF's "Learning to Play Hockey" program. Step D [2]. However, when optimizing the training process of hockey players in the EG, comprehensive examinations of physical development, functional and motor fitness were applied, which made it possible to clarify the playing roles, determine the model characteristics and compliance of the individual capabilities of the player with the training stage based on a comparison of the results obtained with regulatory requirements.
The results of the study and their discussion. The use of a comprehensive assessment of the condition of young hockey players aged 10-13 years in various roles serves as a reliable basis for improving the effectiveness of the training process, as there are significant growth rates and a significant increase in the indicators of general and special fitness among EG athletes during the formative pedagogical experiment (p<0.05). According to a study conducted in the EG, physical indicators according to all standards increase by 10-20%, compared with the players in the control group. At the end of the experiment, positive dynamics were revealed in the results of 60 m running, shuttle running, long jump, pull-ups, 3000 m running, five-fold long jump, 36 m skating, 18x12 m shuttle running, 8-minute ice skating, and slalom ice skating with puck EG hockey players, which indicates the high efficiency of the activities carried out in the annual training cycle with young hockey players aged 10-13 years at the stage of sports specialization.
Conclusions. The effectiveness of organizing a multi-year training process in hockey at the stage of sports specialization is determined by the need to apply a comprehensive assessment of the athletic fitness of players in various roles (forwards, defenders, goalkeepers), which allows us to obtain objective information about the player's condition and capabilities during a specific training period, and also defines areas for improving the content of the daily training program in training microcycles.
