Abstract

Abstract:The purpose of the research is to investigate the impact of athletes' leadership skills, determining effective performance and sports achievement; to theoretically prove and implement the authors' program, focusing on qualified athletes' leadership skills developing in university men's sports teams. Materials: the constative study involved a number of student-athletes -with different qualifying standards -147 athletes and 18-22-year-olds from 13 men's sports teams of Dnipropetrovsk universities. The researchers' focus resolves around the factors that influence athletes' performance and sports achievement, based on forming a holistic-interactional paradigm frame that encompassed the research of the dynamics of the relationship between hypothetical constructs. The experiment involved 92 athletes, ranged from 18-22-year-olds -amateurs; professional sportsmen, key players of 8 sports teams. The experimental group (EG) athletes' training was done under the propounded program; and control group's (CG) training was structured on a regular basis. Results. Have highlighted the leading skills efficiency of men's teams' work in basketball, volleyball, mini-football and handball games; singling out peculiarities of each team's cohesion on the whole, as well as athletes' individual and psychological characteristics of their higher nervous activity. It is important to stress out that the social-cognitive theory of a personality describing the interaction between a personality, his behaviour, and the environment bears the evidence that athletes, regardless their temperament and character dimensions, can achieve high athletic performance. The study of teams' socio-psychological environments shows that the emotional variable makes up 49 %, behavioral one is 43 %, and the cognitive variable equals to 8 %. Overall, socio-psychological climate is assessed as a contradictory one, which testifies to ambiguous and incompatible relations between players, and their interests, goals and values achievement might lead to conflicts in a number of ways. Conclusion. Thus, to effectively develop and implement the suggested program the authors outlined and grounded the complex of organizational and methodological conditions for the development and implementation of the program of forming qualified athletes' leadership competency in university men's sports teams. Content-centered and thoroughly carried out, the forming experiment laid the grounds for athletes' performance to be considerably improved according to the propounded program.

“…Over the past ten years in Ukraine, a lot of research has been conducted on the study of the issue of physical development, functional status, physical fitness and working capacity (Kashuba, 2010;Bolotin, 2016;Bolotin, 2017;Ivashchenko, 2017; of students. The urgency of this problem exists today, as many authors note a low level of physical performance (Serhiienko, 2014;Bolotin, 2015;Azhippo, 2016;, an increase in the number of students with overweight (Lazareva, 2017), and a low level of physical fitness (Kashuba, 2017;.…”

“…This perspective is supported by the relevant academic literature in the domain of neurodynamic and psychophysiological functions that are critical for human psycho-emotional reactions to vigorous muscle activity. Available research includes essential background information detailing in modern professional or Olympic sports as one of the varieties of human extreme activity that is characterized by vigorous-intensity physical activity, increased requirements for vegetative energy resource base, coordination abilities and psychoemotional state (Vysochin, 2001;Kovalenko, 2005;Korobeynikov, 2006;Lyzogub, 2007;Galan, 2016;Ivashchenko, 2017).…”

Effectiveness of normobaric hypoxia course use in combination with cervical muscle exercise as a means to improve statokinetic stability in alpine skiers

“…This incongruity, in its turn, resulted in the situation when excessive dynamic influences and speed of movement on the mountain slope expose the athlete's body to the forces which negatively impact his or her functional state and scores (Mao, 2014;Hopkins, et al, 2009;Hackett, & Rennie, 2016). This is because high-speed movement and manoeuvring in space is accompanied by exposure of the alpine skier's body to angular, linear and centripetal accelerations potentially leading to emergence of pronounced vestibulosomatic, vestibulovegetative and vestibulosensory reactions which, depending on the duration and degree of manifestation, adversely influence the well-being and quality of the athletes' competitive activity (Bakaev, Bolotin, & Vasil'eva, 2015;Ivashchenko, et al, 2017;Pieralisi, et al, 2017;Bolotin, & Bakayev, 2017c).…”
