Abstract
Training management of basketball players represents an actual and insufficiently developed problem in basketball, which is based on the creation of model characteristics of athletes for each preparation stage. This article explores the model indicators, which typical for the pre-contest period, the elucidation of which allows us to replenish the database about morphological capabilities and reserves of basketball players. The novelty of the research is that the scientific problem of the work was focused on the substantiation of the sports training content of basketball players, the choice of effective means and methods of training, in particular, taking into account the morphological models and their connection with physical preparation of basketball players. The development of model levels of morphological characteristics in the pre-contest period preparation allows us to optimize the training work and search for capable talented athletes who could show the high results. The article describes the application technology of fat and lean body mass evaluation, tests, intended for used to evaluate the effectiveness of basketball techniques and the development of motor education of female students. Absolute and relative components of the body weight of basketball players are established, which have high rate and can be a reliable criterion or determining the morphofunctional status of athletes.The features of constitutional models of female athletes for the pre-contest period are revealed, the knowledge of which helps the trainer to individualize the training process by reference to specific features of constitution.
