The aim of our work was to analyze training peculiarities of Lithuanian youth skiers. Trying to achieve the aim, we analyzed adaptation with physical load during one year training period of young skiers. We analyzed sportsmen training documents, sportsmen diaries, tests that have been taken in VPU Sports science institute laboratory. Performed work loads of Lithuanian young ski racers compared with model of characteristic for the same year skiers (Čepulėnas, 2001). Six 15-16 years skiers of Lithuanian youth combined team – 3 girls, 3 boys – took part in our researches. Sportsmen have been training according to plans that have been made by their trainers. They were proposal trained for the main competitions of the season – European youth winter festival. Extended examinations were performed 4 times a year in Vilnius pedagogical Sport science institute's laboratory. Sportsmen took tests for sportsmen endurance according to test programs. Cyclist work loads performed during yearly training cycle shows that girls performed load accordingly to represent in model of characteristic. Load performed of skiers girls was too little intensity. Performed cyclist work load of skiers boys during yearly training cycle exceeded indicated in model of characteristic. Load performed of skiers boys was too little intensity. They performed too much load of I intensity zone and very little load of III-IV intensity zones. Laboratory tests showed that functional abilities varied during year... [to full text]
