Research of the training of weightlifters aged 14-16

Lifting weights, namely, weights for the purpose of display of force or its development, has developed since the late 17th century. Today, there should be noted serious dynamics of kettlebell sport not only in Russia but also abroad. Significant is the fact that in 2014 thirty-two countries attended the competition of the European Championship. The rise in popularity of the sport among the youth of our country is due to its simplicity and accessibility. Kettlebells (primary equipment in the weight lifting sport) of different weights are used not only for the development of the physical quality of "power", but also for the formation of the muscle structure of the body. Of particular relevance is adolescence, the time of the young man's gender identity development. According to psychologists, there is a close connection between the appearance of a teenager and his classmates' assessment, which is reflected in the fact that adolescents with a mesomorphic body type (slender, muscular) receive the highest scores, teenagers with good physical strength come second. Teenagers associate the qualities of leadership, energy, sports, etc. with a slender, muscular body. All these factors contribute to the increase in the number of people engaged in the weight lifting sport and active competitive activity. In this regard, there is a need to find science-based methods of training athletes, weightlifters of different ages and at different stages of the training process. Analysis of scientific papers dealing with the questions of sports training of young weightlifters who began to engage in the weight lifting sport is relatively recent and suggests a small number of such studies. Thus, in order to determine the features of the training process for weightlifters aged 14-16, a study was conducted of the practical experience of coaches from different regions of Russia. The received information reflected the methods and tools specialists use at various stages of training in the year cycle of preparation, data on volumes of training work in the weekly microcycle, and ways to determine the load in the training session. The study was carried out on the basis of the Palace of Entertainment and Sport of Tomsk during the Russian National Weight-lifting Championship. Surveying of the practical experience of coaches from different regions of Russia was made. The total number of experts who participated in the survey was 40 people who worked with children aged 10 to 20. The results lead to the following conclusion. Lack of theoretical research in the field of kettlebell sport means that in practice there is no single, science-based approach to the organization of the training process of young weightlifters at various stages of preparation; and research is required with the aim of structuring the methods, means and the load in the year cycle of training.
