Background. New efficient training process design and management policies and practices are needed to respond to modern challenges in the national physical culture and sports sector with the relevant management standards. It is the sport-specific federal standards that presently form a basis for the long-term athletic training system design and management component in every sport discipline.

Objective of the study was to improve the efficiency of the education and training process design and management policies and practices at sport schools of Tyumen.

Methods and structure of the study. The Sports and Youth Policy Department of the Tyumen Municipality in close cooperation with Physical Culture Institute of Tyumen State University have developed an advanced specialist-training course for sport school specialists of Tyumen. The advanced training course gives a special priority to the training load management; body conditioning and special training tools, methods and models; and efficiency of the training process design with a special focus on rehabilitation, diet and daily regimen. Much attention in the training course is given to the education and training process design and management component with an emphasis on peak precompetitive training stages prior to the qualifying and final competitions of every level. Subject to the study were 342 sport school specialists from Tyumen.

For the purposes of the training process design quality improvement at the advanced specialisation and sport excellence stages based on the current and regular health and fitness tests, the Sports and Youth Policy Department of the Tyumen Municipality offered the municipal sport schools to establish task groups in cyclic and acyclic sport disciplines, team sports and martial arts.

One of the key provisions for the health monitoring data mining and analysing process was to ensure a benchmarking analysis of the lab test data generated by the Physical Culture Institute lab; regular medical examinations at the Tyumen-based Health Centre ‘Neptune’ (headed by Professor Dr. Med S.B. Tsiryatyeva); and the research teams serving the Russian national team reserves in the scheduled training cycles. This provision secured the athletes’ integrated test data being thoroughly analysed and benchmarked to profile their functional status, competitive fitness and rehabilitation capacities. The long-term training process design and management policy proposed by the Sports and Youth Policy Department of the Tyumen Municipality was developed with a great contribution from the cyclic sports task groups.

Study results and discussion. The advanced specialist-training course helped many sport coaches qualify for the top and first classes and acquire higher special education.

We used the ‘Firstbeat’ test system to mine objective functional status data including HR and oxygen consumption (VО2) rates to efficiently manage intensity levels in the training process and profile oxygen debt, integrated physical load intensity and training impulses (in cyclic sport disciplines) under leadership of Dr.Hab., Professor V.N. Potapov and PhD D.O. Maleyev. Subject to the study, among other athletes, were freestyle swimmers (400m, 800m and 1500m); freestyle and butterfly swimmers (50m, 100m and 200m); combined style and breaststroke swimmers (200m, 400m and 50m; and 100m and 200m, respectively). The test data gave the means to produce the following training process design and management recommendations: see Table 1.

We believe that the progress tests at the advanced specialisation and sport excellence stages are indispensable for the individual training process intensity management purposes (see Table 1). Please note that the swimmers’ test data give only a snapshot of the athletic functional status rating system.

The athletes were tested again in three months of the training following the above tests. The new tests were performed at the Tyumen-based Health Centre ‘Neptune” to mine the following data:

{C}

· {C}

Volumetric compression oscillometry data including blood pressure, cardiac function, vascular system functions, blood pressure as per the Korotkov test, and oscillograms;

{C}

· {C}

Body composition including cellular water, extracellular water, lean body mass, and fat mass with the relevant percentages for lean body mass, fat mass, total water, muscle mass, water distribution percentages, plus categorized body mass indices;

{C}

· {C}

Biochemical indices and analyses including interstitial ionogram, gas balance, intercellular oxygen stress, interstitial neuromediators, balance of hormones, and statistical biochemical rates.

The above data and analyses were also used to work out the liquid consumption recommendations; and we should note a great progress in rehabilitation after the sub-maximal training loads on a spin-bike.

A high priority in the detailed design of the training systems was given to the research data analyses versus the test data obtained in the regular education and training sessions under control of PhD S.V. Koygerov. The body composition rating studies (based on bio-impedance data) were designed to generate the key biochemical data to rate the qualitative aspects of physical fitness with functional and physical status rates. Given in Table 2 hereunder is the sample body composition analysis of the female Russian Master of Sports, winner and silver medallist of the VI Children of Asia 2016 International Sport Games.

In our initiative to design the training systems based on the recommendations generated by the study and customise them to the current functionality and physicality of the athletes, we developed individualized training systems and successfully trained the athletes for the Russian Championship, Cup and Finals. The proposed fitness monitoring model in application to Tyumen athletes was proved beneficial as it secured a new perspective for the training process design and management at every stage of the long-term training process. Benefits of the new training process design and management model were verified by the Tyumen sport school athletes’ progress in qualifying for the base-level and high sport ranks and titles: see Table 3.

Conclusion. Our training process research, design and management project made it possible to offer a new training system design and management component improvement model in application to the Tyumen-based sport schools, with cyclic sports taken for the case study. The model will be further applied to acyclic sports, team sports and martial arts. Practical efforts were taken to advance the relevant knowledge and apply a set of athletic fitness and functionality rating criteria to effectively individualise the training, rehabilitation and rest components in the training process design stage.

Abstract

The study considers priorities of the athletic training process design and management initiatives in the long-term training system design to improve the education and training process; and describes a newly proposed training efficiency improvement model applied at Tyumen sport schools. The new training models include: athletes’ physical health and fitness monitoring system; analyses of the health progress test data; and actions to update the education and training systems. New advanced training course for sport school managers, practitioners, senior coachers and instructors in every sport discipline may be described as one more step in the efforts to improve the long-term athletic training system design and management component. The study reports benefits of the new training process design and management model as verified by the athletes’ physical and functional progress tests supported by staged medical examinations at the advanced sport specialisation and sport excellence stages, with cyclic sport disciplines at Tyumen sport schools taken for the case study.
