The goal is to elaborate a methodology that promotes increasing competitive activity and efficiency of development of special endurance of football players. Methods: analysis of research and methodical papers on the issue of modernization of training football teams, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. We carried out analysis of performance of football teams in 2016-2018 and compared it with achievements of the strongest teams from various countries. In the course of research we have concluded that one of significant disadvantages and the weakest part of playing activity is a low level of special endurance and speed qualities of players. Insufficient endurance negatively affects the effectiveness of cooperation of players in defense and in the course of their transition to attacking actions, while the lack of development of high-speed qualities of football players does not give them a chance to outstrip an opponent in their fight for the ball. In our opinion, elaboration of the most effective methodology for developing special endurance and speed capabilities of athletes, as well as an informative assessment of the level of the mentioned qualities can be achieved by consideration of the specifics of methodology of sport training system for players of the strongest teams in Europe and worldwide. Conclusion. Methodology of increasing efficiency of development of special endurance in football playing activities has been elaborated on the basis of valid demand for improving physical fitness (endurance and speed capabilities) of an athlete focused on the level of aerobic capacity of elite football players. At the same time athletes should cultivate playing techniques and tactics.
