Abstract

Objective of the study is a theoretical substantiation of a comprehensive methodology for the targeted development of speed-strength abilities, specialised endurance, strength and flexibility of qualified runners within the framework of an annual cycle. Methods and structure of the study. The methodology includes an analysis of the scientific and methodological literature, a systematisation of approaches to the periodisation of loads and the identification of optimal means for developing the leading qualities. Results and conclusions. The analysis of the sources showed that in highly qualified athletes the limiting factors are specialised endurance and running economy. The main approaches are based on the principles of wave-like periodisation. The methodology is built on the integration of means of running training, speed-strength exercises, plyometrics and gymnastic complexes. The theoretical generalisation has made it possible to determine the rational distribution of loads: the predominance of aerobic work in the preparatory period, with a gradual increase in the share of high-intensity means in the pre-competitive cycle. Attention is paid to the individualisation of impacts, taking into account the morphofunctional features of athletes, and to monitoring the body's recovery. The mechanisms of adaptation to combined loads and the influence of strength training on the power of repulsion are examined.
