Block technology of speed and strength training of technical university students in cross-country athletics

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of speed and power training of Omsk state technical University students in athletics classes during the academic year, taking into account their individual initial level of speed and power motor abilities development. The article describes the preparatory, forming and implementation blocks of the author’s developed block technology for building academic classes in cross-country athletics, shows the focus of classes on the development of specific modules. This study also involves testing the effectiveness of the developed block technology in the course of a pedagogical experiment. The author’s technology provides a two-cycle structure, that is, it covers academic classes of the first and second semesters. Significant differences in the planning of the experimental method classes consist in the development of lagging individual aspects of the student’s training, thereby selectively affecting and concentrating the development of speed-power, power and speed parameters of muscle work in running in separate classes. Moreover, the training tools in the forming and implementing blocks EG1, EG2 and CG do not differ, only the content of exercises changes by applying various pedagogical methods of regulating physical activity (changing the amount of burden, duration of work, rest, intensity, mode, character of muscle contraction). The results of research can be used in the educational process with schoolchildren, students of universities, colleges.
