Keywords:
speed and strength abilities, students, passing fitness tests, additional exercises.Abstract
Objective of the study is to investigate the effect of incorporating additional exercises into students’ training programme on the development of speed-strength abilities.
Methods and structure of the study. The experiment involved 100 students from Don State Technical University aged between 17 and 22. The initial level of speed-strength exercises was assessed for the control and experimental groups of students. The following tests were used for this purpose: 100-metre sprint, long jump (from a standing start and from a running start), standing long jump, and shuttle run.
Results and conclusions. Based on the theoretical and methodological research of other authors, a programme has been developed to improve students’ speed-strength abilities, which includes hopping from foot to foot along a gymnastics bench, jumping over an obstacle on both feet, skipping, jumping on the spot whilst throwing a weight from the chest, and shuttle runs. The results of applying this programme showed positive progress in the experimental group across all test exercises: from 2.9% to 7.5% over three months.
