Aim. The purpose of the article is to develop a method of comprehensive diagnostics for assessing the functional status of weightlifters. Materials and methods. The study involved 14 highly skilled weightlifters at 2 pre-competitive stages of training. The parameters of cardiovascular (heart rate, blood pressure, Gench test), central nervous (differentiation of large and small muscular efforts, statokinetic stability of the body, the speed of sensorimotor reactions), neuromuscular (muscular response threshold) systems were determined. Power capabilities of athletes were investigated. On the 3rd minute of recovery after load blood sampling for lactate analysis was carried out. Results. The results obtained show that at 1 precompetitive stage of training when special exercises are primarily used athletes demonstrate the initial symptoms of fatigue (cardiovascular system and a number of indicators of the central and neuromuscular systems) along with the high level of development of power qualities and high anaerobic capacity. When re-testing athletes during their preparation for the most important competitions provided by a versatile training program, the functional status of the body systems was considered to be high. Conclusion. A comprehensive study allows assessing the fitness of weightlifters from a systemic perspective. The use of the developed method allowed to prove new approaches to training of highly skilled weightlifters.

Aim. The article aims at improving functional activity in children with cerebral palsy based on the features of adaptation to cyclic motions. Materials and methods. 23 children with cerebral palsy aged from 2 to 14 years participated in the study regardless of the form of disease. Functional shifts were assessed under the effect of cyclic load on the cardiovascular system. The following methods were used for the study: heart rate variability analysis based on the changes in total power spectrum (TPw, mc2), relative values of heart rate spectrum characteristics (HF%, LF%, VLF%), and the Stress Index (SI). Results. It was established that long-term hyponesia affected negatively hemodynamics in children with cerebral palsy and contributed to a decrease in adaptation mechanisms. The initial functional status of children with cerebral palsy was characterized by low values of adaptation reserves, aerobic power, and recovery potential. Adaptive capabilities in children when growing up from 3 to 12 years decrease to asthenization. Conclusion. Motor performance is the most effective factor influencing improvement of functional capabilities in children with cerebral capabilities. The movements of the cyclic type contribute to an increase in excitability and muscle lability, as well as to the development of general endurance.

Президент России В.В. Путин неоднократно подчеркивал необходимость воспитания здорового поколения, любящего физкультуру и спорт, стремящегося к победам, способного бороться за интересы страны. Журнал «Власть» продолжает публикацию статей видных специалистов в области спортивного карате. Этот вид спорта в августе 2016 г. был включен в программу летних Олимпийских игр 2020 г. в Токио. Учитывая возросшую конкуренцию в отечественном и международном спорте, необходимо совершенствовать подготовку спортсменов высокой квалификации, которая позволит им достичь высших результатов на крупнейших спортивных соревнованиях. Победы российских спортсменов, в т.ч. в Олимпийском движении, способствуют формированию имиджа страны на мировой арене. Авторы публикуемой статьи предлагают обратить особое внимание на технико-тактические аспекты в подготовке спортсменов, которые определяют дальнейшие направления и способы совершенствования соревновательных боев.
