Differentiated physical training of female football players at the general preparatory stage of the preparatory period

The purpose of the studywas to develop a program of differentiated physical training of female football players at the general preparatory stage of the preparatory period and to experimentally substantiate its effectiveness. Material and methods. The study involved 17 female football players of Glukhov National Pedagogical University named after Alexander Dovzhenko women's team aged 18-22 years, with a qualification of I-II category. Research methods: analysis of data from literary and Internet sources on the problem of research, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. According to theresults of the initial pedagogical testing, high rates of variation (over 7-8 %) were found in the studied tests of physical fitness, which indicates a significant difference in the level of physical qualities of female athletes of one team and the need for a differentiated approach to physical training. Three groups of female athletes were formed, for which appropriate programs for the development of speed and agility, speed and strength abilities and various manifestations of endurance were developed andimplemented during the general preparatory phase. Conclusions. The indicators of general and speed endurance, special speed in relation to agility, special speed and strength abilities of female football players statistically significantly improved rangedfrom 4.1 to 4.9 % (p<0.05) during the pedagogical experiment. Reducing the coefficient of variation in the tests of physical fitness of female football players to 4.0-5.9 % confirms the feasibility of applying a differentiated approach to the physical training of female athletes during the general preparatory stage of the preparatory period.
