The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a developed method for improving physical fitness and developing a rational biomechanical movement pattern in boys during the initial training stage.
Methods and study organization. The study was conduct at the N.N. Dobrikov Sports School No. 2, Krasnodar Municipal Budgetary Educational Institution of Additional Education, (experimental group) and the Fakel Sports School, Novorossiysk Municipal Budgetary Educational Institution of Additional Education, (control group). Ninety boys aged 9-10 participated in the experiment. To evaluate the effectiveness of the experimental methodology, two groups were form: the experimental group (EG, n=45) and the control group (CG, n=45). The experiment lasted from September 2024 to March 2026.
To assess the dynamics of physical and technical performance during the pedagogical experiment, a set of assessment and pedagogical tests was use, including measurements of physical fitness indicators and video analysis of biomechanical parameters of movement. Technical fitness analysis was conduct using Kinovea software, which allows for frame-by-frame analysis of video footage.
Study results and discussion. The developed methodology included targeted work on the key biomechanical parameters of the low start technique. The dynamics of the biomechanical parameters of the low start technique in 9-10-year-old boys during the experiment showed significant changes in the following parameters: knee joint angles at the "ready" command; knee joint angles at the "set" command; and first step length.
The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher gains in physical fitness indicators compared to the control group (p<0.001).
Conclusion. The application of the developed methodology allows coaches to more effectively address initial training challenges and create a foundation for further athletic development, based on systematic monitoring of biomechanical movement parameters for timely technique correction.
