IMPROVING THE STRENGTH FITNESS OF YOUNG SLEDGE HOCKEY PLAYERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE TRAINING PROCESS

Sledge hockey is one of the types of adaptive sports, which is a kind of alternative to traditional ice hockey for people with health disorders, namely with damage to the musculoskeletal system. This sport is characterized by high speeds, tough power struggle, constant change of difficult game situations. All this requires a high level of motor fitness from the player, in particular speed and strength abilities. In our opinion, it is relevant to obtain information about the reaction of the body of sledge hockey players to the implementation of dynamic and statodynamic strength exercises with an emphasis on the eccentric mode of muscle activity in the training process. The article presents the results of the application of an experimental program to develop the strength abilities in young sledge hockey players. The experimental program was based on dynamic and statodynamic exercises performed with an emphasis on the eccentric mode of muscle work. The rules and pedagogical conditions for the implementation of the program are revealed, specific exercises are indicated, and a description of the results obtained is given. The practical application of strength exercises made it possible to obtain positive changes in the performance of young sledge hockey players, which was reflected in the effectiveness of training and competitive activities. Comparing the results of the control and experimental groups at the end of the pedagogical experiment, we found significant differences in most indicators in favor of the experimental group. The data obtained indicate a positive effect of the experimental program on the strength abilities of young sledge hockey players, an improvement in the differentiation of efforts when performing motor tasks, improved motor control during exercise.
