Features of the structure of training loads in the actual training microcycles of the competitive period in female handball players of the immediate reserve

improving the system of sports training of the nearest reserve in handball involves studying the features of planning the microstructure of training at different stages of the annual cycle. The aim of the study was to investigate the structure, volume, intensity, focus, specialization of training loads in the actual training microcycles of the competitive period of 15-16 year old female handball players. The features of planning training loads in the actual training microcycles were revealed. Using the timing of training sessions, the specialization of microcycles was studied, determined by the ratio of loads performed using general (22.2-53.0%) and special (34.4-60.7%) training. When analyzing the parameters of special training, a large variability was revealed in the volume of integral training (0-26.7%), while lesser variability was found in technical training (18.3-20.9%). The total volume of physical activity in microcycles varied from 7:29:19 to 13:29:01 h:min:sec. The ratio of training loads of varying intensity was used to determine the preferred focus, taking into account energy supply modes. Inconsistencies were identified in assessing the intensity of training loads based on heart rate using a cardiac monitoring system.
