Abstract

Introduction. One of the fundamental technical skills in alpine skiing is the transfer of body weight to the outer leg. Unfortunately, not enough attention is paid to the formation of the correct motor pattern at the initial stage of training. The purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of the introduction of special preparatory exercises aimed at the formation of the skill of transferring body weight to the outer leg, in alpine skiers 8-10 years old. Organization of the study. The study involved 22 skiers 8-10 years old. The experiment was conducted in the period from December to February. In the training process of the experimental group, special preparatory exercises were introduced, aimed at forming the skill of transferring body weight to the outer leg, in order to increase the speed of passing the giant slalom track. The results of the study and their discussion. The effectiveness of the application was evaluated through control training. The results of the study were mathematically and statistically processed. It showed that the time of the passage of the track in the athletes of the experimental group is significantly less (p < 0.05). Conclusion. We made the conclusion about the effectiveness of the introduction of the special preparatory exercises aimed at forming the skill of transferring body weight to the outer leg, in order to increase the speed of passing the giant slalom track by skiers 8-10 years old.
