Peculiarities of Energy Metabolism of Persons ofDifferent Ages in Volleyball Playing

Introduction.The study of individual features of the functional support of conscious motor activity is an important area of research in sport physiology. Such studies are especially important for detecting age-related changes in the energy supply of muscular activity. Purpose.The purpose of the study is to identify features of the functional state of volleyball players of different ages.Methods. Computer testing ofthe functional state of volleyball players of different ages.Results.We found that volleyball players of different ages showed a higher level of functional training compared to non-athletes. Originality.Age features of the functional state of volleyball players of different ages and non-athletes are revealed.Conclusion.As a result of studying the functional state of volleyball players of different ages, we found that the formation and potential of bioenergetic capabilities of the body increased with age in both athletes and non-athletes.It was proved that the process of formation and improvement of bioenergetic characteristics of volleyball players was more intensive and was characterized by the advanced nature of development compared to non-athletes.It was found that the improvement of energy capabilities of volleyball players in ontogenesis occurred due to changes in the power of energy systems of the athlete’s body and demonstrated their plasticity and ability to improve in the process of long-term volleyball.
