Modern equipment based on computer technology can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of control procedures for physical fitness and technical performance of long jumpers. The study focuses on the development of control methods for technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers on the basis of «OptoJump Next» innovative measurement system.
The purpose – to test the efficiency of modern technologies for assessing technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers employing biomechanics control system.
Methods and organization of research. The main method of research is to assess the technical performance and physical fitness of athletes-jumpers using the "Optojump Next" measuring system, video recording and photodiode chronometry of the run-up speed (the "Brower" system). The survey took place at the track and field arena of the Novogorsk sport center (Moscow region), as well as at the stadium of ‘Iug-Sport’ sport center, Sochi in 2016-2018. The study involved 15 qualified long jumpers (Candidates Master of Sports – Masters of Sports of International Class).
Results of the study and their discussion. The obtained results of the study enable identification of the model characteristics of the Special physical training control tests of qualified long jumpers in the range of results from 7.25 to 8.25 m. We have also developed model characteristics of technical performance for male jumpers in the range of results from 6.60 to 7.80 m. We used the chart of technical performance for jumpers (Master of Sports E. A-va) to reveal the lagging indicators of special sprint fitness: speed on the 5th step away from the bar; speed on the 4th step away from the bar; speed on the 3rd step away from the bar; pace of running step on the 3rd step away from the bar; average speed on the 3rd – 4th steps away from the bar; average speed on the 1st – 2nd steps away from the bar; average tempo activity of running steps.
Conclusion. The results obtained enable identification of lagging and strong points of technical performance and physical fitness of qualified jumpers, and consequently, adjustment of training program for the upcoming training cycle.
