Customized track-and-field sports training and progress test toolkit for success in the gto complex tests

Abstract

Objective of the study was to find the most effective physical training tools for success in the GTO Complex track-and-field sports tests. Methods and structure of the study. We sampled the 1-4-year Russian State Social University students (n=126) for the study in April-May 2019. We tested the sample physical fitness to analyze correlations of the physical fitness test rates with successes in the GTO Complex track-and-field sports tests. The physical fitness test set included the 30m sprint, standing long jump, 3x10 shuttle sprint, pull-ups, deadlift dynamometry, front lean, 1000m race and endurance tests; and the track-and-field sports test set included the 100m sprint, long jump, grenade throwing, 3000m race, and 5km cross-country race tests. Results and conclusion. The 1-2-year student group success in the 100m sprint GTO test was found correlated with the 30m sprint (r = 0.720), standing long jump (r =-0.658), 3x10 shuttle sprint (r = 0.626), pull-ups (r =-0.615) and deadlift dynamometry (r =-0.595) test rates. In the 3-4-year group these correlations were higher for the 30m sprint (r = 0.792) and lower for the 3x10m shuttle sprint (r = 0.595), standing long jump (r = 0.542) and deadlift dynamometry (r =-0.515) tests, whilst the pull-ups test correlation stayed virtually unchanged (r=-0,520). This means that the 1-4-year physical fitness service should prioritize the speed and speed-strength intensive sprints in the trainings for success in the 100m sprint test. Progresses and successes of university students in the GTO Complex track-and-field sports tests are recommended being facilitated by prudently designed and managed versatile and customizable physical fitness service within the academic physical education and sports curriculum.
