Sports training is the systematic performance of physical exercises for some time in order to increase performance at a certain level, and on this basis, the achievement of results in a particular sport.

Sports training is based on the principles of comprehensiveness, gradualness, accessibility, repetition, systematicity, individualization and consciousness.

The principle of comprehensiveness provides for the growth of the intellectual level of the athlete, his psychological and physical qualities.

Each sport mainly develops certain motor qualities. To achieve high results in kettlebell lifting, it is necessary to have many physical qualities, although strength will be preferred.

Very much attention is paid to general physical training as the main means of achieving the desired results. General training plays the role of a foundation, a base for sports specialization. However, it must be carried out in a dosed manner so that there is no negative effect on the training in the main form. Classes in other sports are not only an effective means of versatile physical development, but also a means of active recreation.

The principle of gradualism. The development of physical qualities under the influence of systematic training occurs gradually. A sharp increase in load leads to overstrain and can cause a disorder in the body.

Sports training does not lead to positive changes immediately, but relatively slowly. Changes, as it were, accumulate in the body, and only then does a leap in development occur. The increase in load should occur from training to training, ahead of the increase in results. However, there are acceptable limits for increasing loads. The functional state of the body cannot improve evenly after each workout, moreover, the performance of an athlete can sharply decrease if even 4-5 workouts in a row with increasing load are carried out. Each weekly cycle should include high, medium, and low intensity workouts. Nevertheless, the training load should tend to increase. In other words, it is necessary to ensure the wavelike dynamics of training loads.

You can increase the load in several ways, for example, increase the training time while maintaining the same intensity, or increase the intensity by increasing the weight of kettlebells, the number of repetitions in one set, reducing the time between sets, etc. The overall increase in load should be slow. It is more expedient to do this after a slight decline or maintaining a certain load for some time.

The body cannot master the increased load and quickly develop the necessary qualities. This requires a certain amount of time. The load must first of all correspond to the functional capabilities of the athlete.

The growth of the functional capabilities of the athlete’s body occurs gradually, and sports results grow abruptly, after the gradual accumulation of positive changes in the body under the influence of many trainings and favorable living conditions.

The principle of accessibility means strict consideration of age and individual characteristics, health status, degree of physical development and fitness, level of knowledge, nature of work and leisure, living conditions, nutrition, etc. An analysis of all these factors allows one to correctly decide the issue of selecting exercises and the nature of training loads.

In order for the training material to be available, the coach must prepare the athletes to work on it. For example, knowing that this sports technique requires a certain level of development of physical qualities, one should first prepare students physically, and then teach. Accessibility in training can be observed only if the coach has created a coherent planning system.

The principle of repetition. Any physical qualities develop only with a sufficient number of repetitions of exercises. Improving bodily function also requires repeated muscle work. In the process of regular training and repeated repetitions, movements are worked out to automatism, which helps to reduce nervous and muscle tension when performing one or another classic exercise “to failure”.

The number of repetitions depends on the preparedness of the athlete, the weight of sports equipment, the complexity of the exercise performed, and the rest intervals between sets. The principle of repetition is preserved in weekly, monthly cycles, etc. It also determines the participation of an athlete in competitions.

The principle of systematic training means the correct sequence of individual training sessions, in which the subsequent session builds on the previous one and enhances the positive effect. Thus, systematicity reflects both the sequence and the continuity of the educational material.

The mechanism of succession is transfer, that is, the influence of one skill and quality on others.

The principle of individualization is very important in kettlebell lifting. The individual characteristics of beginner athletes determine the choice of movement technique. So, for some athletes, depending on the strength of individual muscle groups, it is better to push the kettlebells from the chest with the effort of the leg muscles, for others – with the springy movement of the chest and abdomen, etc.

In the training methodology, the principle of individualization is also of great importance.

The reaction of the athlete’s body to the load is also individual. Depending on the course of recovery processes, the entire training is built – its volume and intensity. Adhering to general provisions and principles, training at the same time should not have a template character.

The principle of consciousness is a conscious attitude to the development of technology, training methods and all activities related to the improvement of sportsmanship.

The content of sports training includes such aspects of training athletes as physical, technical, tactical, moral-volitional and theoretical. All aspects of an athlete’s training are closely interconnected.

Physical training is aimed at strengthening health, achieving a certain level of physical development, and educating physical qualities.

The goal of general physical training is to achieve high performance, athletic development of an athlete.

The means of physical training are exercises that have a general effect on the body. These include movement of varying intensity (running, swimming, skiing, cycling, rowing, etc.), sports games, gymnastics, weight training.

Basic kettlebell exercises can also be used, but under modified unusual conditions. General physical training in many ways expands the functionality of the athlete’s body, allows you to increase the load, provides a constant growth in results.

OFP should be carried out throughout the training year.

Special physical training is aimed at developing physical qualities in relation to the specifics of the chosen sport. It is connected with the process of direct preparation for the competition. The means of special training in kettlebell lifting are classical exercises, elements of these exercises, as well as special auxiliary exercises.

На данный вид физической подготовки оказывает существенное влияние участие в competitions. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically include competitive elements in training (control estimates in individual exercises, etc.), but their content must strictly correspond to the tasks of the training process at a given time. Such training allows you to better prepare the athlete psychologically, as well as improve moral and volitional qualities and gradually lead the athlete to the main competitions of the year.

However, sports training should not be turned into continuous competition, because this can deplete the spiritual and physical strength of the athlete.
