EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PHYSICAL TRAINING PROGRAM FOR ATHLETES IN STREET WORKOUT

Abstract

The article addresses the issue of physical training for athletes specializing in street workout amid the absence of a scientifically substantiated system for organizing the training process. An analysis of contemporary domestic and foreign scientific sources revealed that most studies in the field of street workout primarily focus on its health-promoting, social, and motivational aspects, while issues related to developing effective physical training programs for athletes who regularly participate in competitions of various levels remain underexplored. The article presents the results of implementing an experimental physical training program for street workout athletes.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the physical training program for athletes aged 19–25 years in street workout. To achieve this purpose, the following research methods were used: theoretical analysis and synthesis, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics.

Results and Conclusions. Over recent years, street workout has gained significant popularity and evolved from a mass physical culture movement into a distinct branch of sports activity with an established competition system, regulated rules, and high demands on athletes' physical fitness levels. Competitive activity in street workout involves performing complex dynamic, static, and statodynamic elements on pull-up bars, parallel bars, and other street sports equipment, which imposes elevated requirements on the development of physical qualities (strength, strength endurance, coordination abilities, and stabilization capabilities of the musculoskeletal system).

Despite the active development of this sport, an analysis of scientific and methodological literature indicates a substantial methodological gap in the preparation of street workout athletes. The majority of training programs rely on athletes' individual experience and intuitive approaches, disregarding fundamental principles of training process design, such as load periodization, progression, variability, and specialization.

The lack of a systematic approach to physical training adversely affects athletic performance, leads to uneven development of physical qualities, overloads specific muscle groups, and increases injury risk.

Thus, the research results confirm the effectiveness of systematized physical training for street workout athletes, based on periodization principles and oriented toward competitive demands.
