To substantiate and develop a methodology for predicting success in kickboxing on the basis of analysis of morphofunctional, physiological, biomechanical and psychophysiological indicators. Material: it was examined athletes of kickboxing (n=185, age 18.58 ± 0.46 years). It was studied the features of physical development (n = 18). The main biomechanical parameters (n=45) were determined. Goniometric indices of limb joints (n=29) were studied. It was studied the features of psychophysiological reactions (n =76). The adaptive capabilities of the cardiovascular system were studied (n=17). The prognostication is carried out by means of a sequential Wald procedure. Prognostic coefficients and their informativity were calculated. Results: a prognostic table was developed containing the indicators of the functional state of kickboxing athletes. The table includes 31 criteria, the informativeness of which varied within 115,45-2,23. The content of the forecast consists in: an evaluation of the results; determination of the corresponding prognostic coefficient; summation of coefficients. The threshold was set at the level ± 13, which corresponds to a probability of 95% (p<0,05). Exceeding the positive threshold means a high level of success for the athlete. When the negative threshold is reached, the probability of success is low. Conclusions: The proposed methodology is based on a sequential analysis of Wald. The technique is a simple, informative and objective tool for monitoring and predicting the status of athletes.

Purpose:comparative analysis of limbs' joints goniometric indicators of martial arts athletes; study of sportsmanship level influence on kick boxers' movements' amplitude. Material:martial arts athletes -students and senior pupils (n=29) participated in the research. The participants were divided into two groups. 1 st group consisted of 18 kick boxers of age 17.44±0.34 years. 2 nd group included 11 wrestlers of age 18.45±0.39 years. The first group was divided into two sub-groups: sub group 1a -9 athletes of age 18.22±0.52 years and sportsmanship level: candidates and masters of sports. Sub group 1b consisted of 9 athletes, age (16.67±0.24) years and sportsmanship level from beginners to 1 st sport category. We registered movements' amplitude in wrist, shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints. Results:we confirmed the distinctions of goniometric indicators of martial arts athletes' limbs joints. It was found that sportsmanship level of kick-boxers influences to certain extent on movements' amplitude. The found distinctions reflect clearly specific of kind of sports. Wrestlers have higher amplitude of movements in wrist joints that determines reliable grip in a fight. Kick boxers have better amplitude of movements in elbow and shoulder joints. It permits to punch with higher strength. The closeness of goniometric indicators of different sportsmanship kick-boxers proves equal orientation of their training. Need in constant keeping combat stance conditions reduction of in-movement amplitude in right wrist joint and outside movement in left shoulder joint of experienced athletes. Conclusions:increase of abduction in hip joint and reduction of bending in left knee joint illustrate specificities of punching/ kicking, optimization of their technique in experienced athletes. The higher is training experience, the more working asymmetry of joints' movements is.

Analysis and assessment of athletes' adaptation potential are important components of effective selection and prediction of sports successfulness. Purpose: study and analysis of kick boxers' cardio-vascular system's adaptation potentials under standard physical load and in recreation. Material: in the research kick boxers (n=17, students) participated. The athletes were divided into 2 groups, depending on reaction to physical load: 1st group-athletes with normotonic type of reaction (n=9, age 17.56±0.80 years); 2nd group-athletes with reaction different from normotonic (n=8, age18.25±0.88 years). Indicators of cardio-vascular reaction type and tolerance to physical load were found with the help of PWC170 test. Results: we confirmed similarity of kick boxers' reaction to physical load. After 1st stage of physical load heart beats rate was noticeably lower in the 1st group. After 2nd stage of load systolic blood pressure was lower in the 1st group. After load, in the 1st group heart beats rate and systolic BP restored quicker. Reduction of heart beats rate under load in 1st group can serve as a proof of better adaptation mechanisms. Conclusions: training of athletes with periodic control of electric cardiogram under physical loads permits to assess functional state of cardio-vascular system; its adaptation and correspondence to definite physical loads. Such approach permits not to admit progressing of cardio-vascular system's pathological state.
