Speed-power training of highly qualified hammer throwers

Long-term training of highly qualified track and field athletes is impossible without paying attention to one of its constituent parts - training and training methods. The level of training of throwers in track and field is becoming very high, it is becoming more and more difficult to achieve victory. This caused certain efforts of trainers, scientists, and methodologists in preparing the educational and training process of track and field athletes-throwers. The study of the robots of specialists, as well as the analysis of existing programs for improving the speed and strength training of throwers in track and field, indicates that the training method lags behind modern requirements. We consider the reason for this to be the low level of methodical development. Unfortunately, most track and field coaches are not interested in the new guidelines, and the result is the training of inferior reserves. The purpose of the work is the development of speed and strength training of highly qualified hammer throwers. Research results. We recommend hammer throwers to perform exercises with a barbell during training (jerking, taking the barbell to the chest, pull-ups). Exercises with a barbell (jerk, chest pull-ups, pull-ups and push-ups) are recommended to be performed from the position "from above". The position of the barbell "from above" means that the barbell is raised from the platform with straight lowered arms, the athlete's torso and legs are straightened, and then basic exercises are performed from this position. Moreover, the exercises should be performed in the overcoming and advancing mode, which corresponds to the main technical movement - hammer throwing. Conclusions. The results of our research and thirty years of practical experience working with athletes of the highest level of sportsmanship show that in speed-power sports, the connection between the external form and the content of movements is most clearly manifested when interacting with the support and the projectile. This is a causal relationship. Only that athlete who has a sufficient level of development of speed and strength qualities across the entire range of their manifestations, from the fastest and most coordinated rotational movements to the instant manifestation of maximum muscle tension in projectile throwing, can count on serious success in the main exercise.
