Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of developing physical preparedness capacities of track and field athletes within the training process. The study examines the significance of both general and special physical training in enhancing athletes’ functional capabilities, endurance, speed, and strength. The research also describes effective methods for designing individualized training programs through special exercises tailored to athletes’ unique characteristics. The article presents practical recommendations for optimizing the training process, systematically selecting and performing exercises to improve physical qualities, and increasing overall athletic performance. The findings contribute to assessing athletes’ general preparedness levels, planning both individual and group training sessions, and enhancing competitive potential. Furthermore, the study highlights approaches to ensure effective physical training that considers the complexity and specificity of track and field disciplines.

The ratio between general and special physical training should be adapted to the athlete’s level of preparedness and individual characteristics.

The use of modern technologies such as biomechanical analysis, heart rate monitoring, and video analysis is recommended to monitor and control training loads.

Special exercises should be designed to resemble technical movements in athletics while engaging various muscle groups for balanced development.

Alongside physical qualities, attention should be paid to developing athletes’ moral and volitional traits, as they play an important role in achieving long-term success.

Recovery exercises and elements of psychological preparation should be integrated into the training process to maintain performance stability.

Coaches and trainers should be provided with scientifically grounded methodological guides to effectively apply these principles in practical training.
