ORGANIZATIONAL-METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTING THE PRE-COMPETITION TRAINING OF MANYOARED ROWING CREWS (BY THE EXAMPLE OF DRAGON BOAT CREWS)

Abstract

The research topicality is due to the fact that the theory and methodology of the rowing sport has insufficiently studied the issue of warm-up organization as a factor regulating the pre-start state of an athlete. The existing recommendations are rather specific and cannot offer a comprehensive approach to the problem solution. The lack of data referring to preparing the dragon boat crews for important competitions determines the topicality of such research, their novelty and significance. The rationally designed pre-start preparation provides the high efficiency of the crew, increases the probability of winning, while the mistakes made at this stage may, on the contrary, undo the preceding training. Thus, the paper is devoted to the issue of optimizing the pre-start preparation of dragon boat crews. The authors propose the methodological approach based on using the consequential complexes of training programs for rowers. The article presents the complexes implying specialized motion activities with regulated space-time and space-dynamic parameters. The efficiency of the pre-start preparation (PSP) program is confirmed by the reliable differences in indicators of rowing obtained during competitions of highly qualified athletes at 500- and 1000- meters races.
