Features of the training process for young snowboarders, taking into account the sensitive periods of physical development at the initial stage of training

the article substantiates the features of the training process construction for young snowboarders aged 8-11 years, considering sensitive periods of physical qualities development at the initial stage of preparation. It has been established that this age range is characterized by sensitive periods for the development of coordination abilities, flexibility, and speed qualities. Methodological approaches to the differentiated development of physical qualities depending on prospective specialization in specific competitive snowboard disciplines are presented. The optimal ratios of general and special physical training means at different stages of initial preparation are determined: 80:20 in the first year of training, 70:30 in the second and third years. Organizational and methodological features of developing coordination abilities, flexibility, speed and speed-strength qualities are substantiated, taking into account age-related patterns of motor function development. Special attention is paid to methods and means of physical training during the snow-free period, ensuring the formation and maintenance of the necessary level of special preparedness. The criteria for the effectiveness of the training process construction are identified: positive dynamics of physical fitness indicators, successful mastering of technical elements, maintaining a high level of motivation, absence of fatigue, and minimal injury rate. Practical recommendations are provided for individualizing training effects based on regular monitoring of physical development and physical fitness of young snowboarders.
