Introduction. Functional training of high-performance athletes is aimed at forming a holistic structure of functional support for special abilities of athletes, taking into account the sport, type of competition, specialization. Long-term functional training consists of stages, where the implementation of each stage is a condition for achieving the end result of a high level of functional support for special performance of athletes. Functional training of high-performance athletes is the final integrated component of long-term functional training. The aim of the study is to substantiate normative parameters of functional support of special working capacity of high-performance athletes in academic rowing. Material and methods. Oxygen consumption (VO2), CO2 emission level (VCO2), minute ventilation (VE) were determined for the cutaneous respiratory cycle using an Oxycon gas analyzer (Jaeger). The concentration of lactate in the blood was determined with an automatic biochemical analyzer Biosen. Results. As a result, the normative parameters of the functional support of rowers’ special working capacity are substantiated. Quantitative characteristics are designed for differentiated assessment of fast kinetics, steady state, fatigue compensation, as well as evaluation of these characteristics in the process of modeling the 2000 m distance. Indicators of differentiated assessment of men / women, respectively. Evaluation of rapid reaction kinetics: Lamax, mmol-l-1-9.6-11.8 / 8.5-10,0; EqPaCO2 u. o.- 3.5-4.0 / 2.4-3.1; EqCO2 y. at. - 30.0-34.2 / 27.9-29.9. Steady state of functions: VO2max, ml · min-1 · kg-1 - 68.5-72.9 / 62.1-66.5; EqCO2, y. at. - 32.2-36.6, EqO2, y. at. - 32.5-34.1 / 30.0-33.6; LaVO2max, mmol·l-1 - 13.9-15.9 / 11.8-13.7. Fatigue compensation: EqCO2 steady state / EqCO2 fatigue compensation period,% -7.8-9.9% / 5.5-6.7%; EqО2 steady state / EqО2 period of fatigue compensation,% - 3,6-5,7% / 3,1-4,9%; VO2max mean value for 30 from the period of fatigue compensation, ± 2.0 ml • min – 1 • kg – 1 68.0–74.1 / 59.5–65.7; La, mmol • l-1 - 18.0-21.2 / 15.6-17.9. The indicators recorded in the process of simulating of the 2000 m distance did not differ significantly

Introduction. The reserve for increasing the functional support of the special working capacity of rowers is the search for new opportunities for the regulation and stimulation of functions that ensure the speed of deployment and the achievement of reaction limits, the stable development of functions in the process of increasing and compensating fatigue. Matherial and methods: gas analysis, measurement of blood lactate concentration, ergometry (Concept «ErgRowing»). Factor and correlational statistical analysis. Results: Three factors are singled out, which together form a specialized focus of special physical training. The share of the first factor in the total variance was 34.8%, the second – 18.0%, the third – 14.1%. The first factor includes the characteristics of the power of aerobic energy supply and the reaction of the cardiorespiratory system to the development of acidosis at the beginning of the distance and during the steady state period. The second factor is based on the assessment of the stimulation-influenced degree of lactic acidosis, at which the athlete reached the maximum consumption of O2. The third factor is based on the assessment of the anaerobic reserve in the second half of the distance, its role in the formation of excess (buffer) CO2, its compensation (EqVCO2) in the conditions of fatigue development. Conclusions. The necessity of using modes of training loads aimed at stimulation of neurodynamic functions of the body, implementation of "acute" hypoxia, simulation of physiological states associated with varying degrees of influence of hypoxia, hypercapnia, lactic acidosis is substantiated. Special modes can be used during warm-up, additional (to the main classes) training sessions during the daily training cycle.
