The technology of selecting gifted children in combat sports based on comprehensive monitoring of conditions of athletes

Abstract

The problem of 12-14-year-old athletes’ selection that are engaged in combat sports is one of the most urgent problem of training the sports reserve. The search for gifted children and teenagers is in fact the most important factor for high achievements in the chosen sport. According to V. p. Guba [2], many experts understand sports selection as an assessment and recognition of children’s individual predisposition to achieve in a particular sport based on their inclinations, abilities, and gifts. However, the components of athletic giftedness used in sports-oriented selection differ significantly in the available research. [1,3,4,5,6,7]. Federal State Budget Establishment Professional Educational Organization “Smolensk State College of Olympic Reserve” (referred to as FSBE PEO “SSCOR”) and Smolensk Regional Fund “Social development” conduct the research for selecting sports gifted children that are engaged in martial arts. The research is held on the proposed technology and is based on comprehensive monitoring of the athletes condition. This technology allows to ensure the balance between high loads and maintaining health, increase the effectiveness of the training process, predict the achievement of the fitness form peak and maintain it throughout the competition period.
