Application of the complex of game exercises “G.A.M.E.S.” in the training process of young taekwondo players

Abstract

The use of the game method is considered one of the most natural and effective ways to involve young athletes in motor activity and the formation of physical abilities and emotional and volitional qualities. The purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of using a set of game exercises, formed according to the “G.A.M.E.S.” algorithm, in the training process for developing the physical abilities of young athletes involved in taekwondoMaterial and methodsParticipants of the study: 15 taekwondo athletes, aged 12-13, who are engaged in the sports complex of the Youth Sports School No. 13 in Kharkiv. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, methods of testing the physical qualities of athletes (push-up for 30 s, push-up on the crossbar, long jump from a place, high jump from a place, raising the torso to a sitting position for 30 s, jumping with a rope for 1 min, shuttle run 4x9 m, Romberg test, tilting the torso forward from a sitting position, tilting the torso while standing, 100 m sprint, 20 m sprint from a high start), methods of mathematical statisticsResultsAn experimental training methodology was developed and implemented, which included a set of game exercises formed according to the algorithm - "G.A.M.E.S." Goal - a specific goal (physical / technical-tactical / cognitive); Area - space (4 × 4 m; 6 × 6 m; 8 × 8 m) depending on the goal and age; Modifiers - restrictions / modifiers: format (1 × 1; 1 × 2), allowed techniques, distance; Effort - load mode: series of 20–30 s of active work with pauses of 40–60 s; Scoring - a scoring system (points for accuracy / speed / variability) to support motivation and quality control. The developed methodology was based on the use of different types of game exercises, which are structured in accordance with the target guidelines of physical and special training of young taekwondo players.ConclusionsIt is shown that the implementation of the experimental methodology according to the algorithm "G.A.M.E.S." can be recommended as an effective means of developing the physical abilities of young taekwondo players.
