Abstract

Introduction. One of the factors of highly effective competitive activity of athletes is their achievement of a high level of special ability to work. The latter (ability to work) is determined by the results of testing in sports activities ("field conditions"), which involve the use of specific loads in the selected sport. There is a large arsenal of samples (tests) conducted in these conditions. One of such tests is our proposed method of power-ergometry (submaximal power-ergometry test PWC170) in determining anaerobic-aerobic performance of a forceful nature. The results of multi-year-research by author are considered in the article. Recommendations are given on the possibilities of using power-ergometry test in the practice of sports medicine, sports, "invasport", strength fitness, etc. Aim is to analyze and summarize the research data of the author of the article, which relate to the application of the method of power-ergometry in determining the physical performance of athletes. Material and methods: 1) analysis of scientific and scientific-methodical literature on the problems of physical performance research, 2) pedagogical experiment: functional research (determination of physical performance by submaximal test PWC170), 3) pedagogical observation of pupils and students, 4) statistical methods. Results: the patented method of power-ergometry on determination of PWC170 has no analogues in the countries of near and far abroad; no such studies have been conducted in Ukraine; instrumental (hardware) and non-apparatus methods of ergometric research have been considered. Conclusions: the perspectives of using the mentioned method in the practice of sports, sports medicine, as well as in the educational process of students of the faculties of health, physical education and sports of medical and pedagogical universities of Ukraine have been shown.
