The influence of the program of the training process in the pre-competitive mesocycle on the indicators of special physical fitness of taekwondo players aged 15–17

The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of the proposed program of building the training process in the pre-competitive mesocycle on the indicators of special physical fitness of taekwondo players aged 15-17. The results. The analysis of the special physical fitness of taekwondo players at the end of the study showed that after applying the proposed training program, the average performance of the experimental group was better than that of the control group by 3.20 to 31.02%. Statistically significant differences were established according to the Student's test in the range of t=2.15–2.58 at p <0.05, except for: side kicks to the torso in 15 s without placing the foot on the floor, t=1.28; side kicks with the left leg to the torso in 15 s t=2.12; and side kicks with the right leg with a 360° rotation in 15 s t=2.02. Among the taekwondo players of the control group, 8 high correlation relationships were found in the range of 0.67–0.51 and 4 high inverse relationships – -0.68 to -0.54. In the experimental group, 17 high correlation relationships in the range of 0.74–0.53 were found. One of the reverse high correlation relationships was found -0.57.
