Objective of the study was to show by experiments the effectiveness of application of the circuit training method at the initial stage of training of young gymnasts.
Methods and structure of the study. The experimental base of the study was the Municipal Budgetary Institution of Supplementary Education "Children and Youth Sports School" in Votkinsk, the Udmurt Republic, department of artistic gymnastics. The study was conducted from 2017 through 2018 and involved the 7-8 year-old male gymnasts of the initial training group (n=30). The article presents the results of the educational experiment on testing the circuit training method, which was implemented in the process of training of the Experimental Group (EG) subjects for 36 weeks. A total of 74 training sessions were conducted using the circuit training method. The circular training was carried out using the method of interval work with the standard duration of rest breaks during exercises at the stations and when changing them, where a strict order was ensured.
Results of the study and conclusions. According to the results of the master drill, 14 young gymnasts of the EG (93.3%) were able to complete the mandatory technical program, only 1 student (6.7%) could not cope with it. In the CG, the performance rate was much lower: 11 young gymnasts (73.3%) demonstrated the results above 48 points, 4 students (26.7%) did not cope with this task.
The presented results indicate the effectiveness of training of young gymnasts at the initial training stage, based on the application of the circuit training method. The analysis of the study findings revealed that at the end of the experiment, the increase of indicators was significantly higher among the young gymnasts of the EG (p<0.05). The positive dynamics of the research results indicated that the use of the circuit method in the training process helps increase the level of physical fitness of young gymnasts at the initial training stage.
