КОРРЕЛЯЦИОННАЯ ВЗАИМОСВЯЗЬ МЕЖДУ ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯМИ ОБЩЕЙ И СПЕЦИАЛЬНОЙ ФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ ПОДГОТОВЛЕННОСТИ КВАЛИФИЦИРОВАННЫХ ГРЕБЧИХ НА БАЙДАРКАХ

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the indicators of overall and special physical fitness of qualified female athletes subject to their competitive distances (200, 500, 200 and 500 m). The methods applied to obtain the goal were as follows: theoretical analysis and synthesis, pedagogical observation and statistical processing of the findings using Spearman's rank correlation. 30 female athletes (4 Masters of Sport of International grade, 21 Masters of Sport and 5 Candidates for Master of Sports) were the subjects of the experiment. The overall physical fitness indicators included: benchpress and deadlift, 50 meter run and social class dynamometry. The special fitness indicators: 50 m rowing from standstill, flying 50 m rowing, efficiency of starting acceleration, 300 m, 750 m, 4х250 m and 3х100 m rowing. The analysis of the findings revealed significant correlations between the fitness indicators, showing various aspects of the overall and special fitness, regardless the distances female athletes competed in. The ones competing in the 200 meter distance had 10 correlations, 500 m – 19 and in both of the distances – 14, proving that the result in the 200 meter distance is mostly related to the genotype. Most of the correlations indicate to the essential role of both special and overall physical training in the system of training qualified female kayakists. The ones specializing in 200 meter run had most of the correlations between maximum power and the indicators of special physical fitness. 500 meter run - between strength endurance (benchpress) and maximum power and special physical fitness. All-round athletes - between strength endurance (deadlift and benchpress) and special physical fitness.
