MONITORING FUNCTIONAL AND PHYSICAL FITNESS OF FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS OF THE UNIVERSITY TEAM

The control of physical load in the design of the training process plays a leading role in its successful implementation and the development of players' physical fitness levels. Student basketball does not have strictly regulated methods and means of controlling physical preparedness. One of the problems is the varying levels of physical fitness among players.
The purpose of the study is to determine the functional preparedness of the female basketball players of the university team.
Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used, along with pedagogical experiments and methods of mathematical statistics. The research was conducted at the women's basketball club of the Volga Region State University of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism.
Research results and conclusions. A close direct correlation has been established between the indicators of explosive strength and starting acceleration, and the indicators of the gluteal muscles, hamstrings, core, spinal extensors, and explosive strength of the lower limbs. Additionally, a moderate degree of correlation has been found between the increase in strength of the gluteal muscles and starting acceleration, as well as between the increase in the explosive strength indicators of the lower limbs and special (speed) endurance. Recommendations have been developed for planning the content, volume, and intensity of training loads to enhance the functional fitness of the university basketball team.
