Weight-height indicators of heavyweight boxers as the most important component of planning and implementation of the training process
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to justify the need for improvements in the methodology for training heavyweight boxers based on group individualization of the training process that takes into account the weight- height performance and the degree of influence of the body weight of boxers on the level of physical, technical and functional readiness. It seems appropriate to consider the facts found in the literature on the effect of body weight on the level of preparedness and training of athletes. Reflection of attitudes on the problem of individualization of training of athletes depending on their own weight necessitated a questionnaire survey. Analysis and synthesis of literature on the subject under study allows us to conclude that, along with very valuable facts regarding the identification of significant differences in the level of physical and functional fitness among athletes of different weight categories, the whole training method for boxers in heavyweight categories is still far from being resolved.
