Optimizing the training of 16-17 year old athletes, taking into account individual characteristics in game sports

the article describes the improvement of the effectiveness of the training process of representatives of game sports such as hockey, volleyball and football. An athlete's strengths make him a leader and help influence the outcome of competitive activities. Weaknesses can make it difficult to prove themselves in responsible games, and reduce the player's authority in front of teammates. The purpose of the study is to optimize the training process and increase the effectiveness of competitive activities, taking into account the individual characteristics of athletes and making training plans for them to work independently on their shortcomings and improve their performance. The study involved thirty people who have been involved in sports games for more than five years at the age of 16-17 and actively participating in competitions during 2024. Work was also actively carried out with the coaching staff of the studied teams. The initial testing showed low average results in terms of physical fitness among the tested hockey, volleyball, and soccer players. Based on the test data, individual training plans were drawn up for the subjects. Intermediate measurements in testing the qualities of physical fitness and assessing the psychological state of the subjects showed that about seventy percent of the athletes in the test groups faithfully carried out their own training plans. The test results after ten months showed positive changes in the physical fitness of the subjects, and improvements in their psychoemotional state. The competition results have also improved.
