Keywords:
young athletes, track and field athletics, weightlifting exercises, muscular strength, speed-strength abilities, explosive strength, physical fitness, training loadAbstract
This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of using weightlifting exercises to improve the physical fitness of young track and field athletes. It analyzes the importance of exercises performed with barbells, dumbbells, and other resistance equipment in developing muscular strength, speed-strength abilities, explosive strength, and movement coordination in young athletes. Particular attention is also paid to determining training loads according to age, physical development, and sports specialization, teaching proper exercise techniques, and preventing injuries. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, practical recommendations are provided for the gradual incorporation of weightlifting exercises into the training process of track and field athletes.References
