METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF ENDURANCE DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES OF MIDDLE-DISTANCE RUNNERS

Abstract

Athletics is the oldest sport on our planet. Running is a type of physical activity that originated in the depths of human civilization thousands of years ago and helped preserve the biological identification of the species of higher primates Homo sapiens. According to famous philosophers such as Johann Huizinga, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, Jean Baudrillard, Valery Kosyak, running was a key factor in the transformation of Homo sapiens to the status of Homo sпорticus. Therefore, modern sports scientists explore the problematic issues of the dialectics of athletics in close integration with the evolution of modern man. Athletics gained its greatest prominence in the ancient Greek system of competitive practice, which was called agonistics. All the most famous competitions of that time - the Olympic, Isthmian, Pythian and Nemean agones – began with the confrontations of running masters. Running was also included in the program of multi-sport events such as the pentathlon. Greek women, although separately from men, also competed in running skills at games dedicated to the goddesses Hera, Demeter and Athena. The modern history of Olympic athletics begins with the revival of the international project in 1896. The results of athletes' performances in international sports arenas today demonstrate quite progressive trends, which indicate the optimal organization of training and education of athletes, which includes multifactorial elements of training. It is the last aspect that sports science is called upon to provide, which should form recommendations for coaches in athletics quite scrupulously and rationally due to the high competition in this sport.

Therefore, in this scientific publication, the authors present information on testing the effectiveness of the training system model for the development of endurance and its impact on the functional capabilities of track and field athletes specializing in middle-distance running, developed on the basis of an analysis of scientific and methodological literature. To solve prognostic tasks, the authors used adequate research methods and proved the prospects of their own scientific views.
