Positive training balance method in roller-ski training: influence on technique and motivation

the subject of the study is the positive training balance method as an innovative approach to the technical training of roller-skiers, based on a combination of work on technical deficiencies with the consolidation of successfully performed elements. The aim of the work was to experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of this method for improving the technical skill and motivation of young athletes. The research methodology included a pedagogical experiment with the participation of 24 roller-skiers aged 12-14, divided into control and experimental groups, using a comprehensive assessment of technical, psychological and physiological indicators. The results of the study showed the superiority of the experimental group in reducing the time to complete the test segment by 8.4%, reducing the number of technical errors by 2.2 times, improving the economy of movements by 12.3% and significantly increasing self-efficacy indicators. The scope of the results covers the system of training young roller skiers in children's and youth sports schools and specialized training centers. The novelty of the study lies in the development of a method that uses the athlete's strengths as a psychological resource to overcome technical difficulties through a cyclic return to successfully mastered elements. The findings confirm the high efficiency of the positive training balance method for the formation of sustainable motivation and the creation of optimal psychological conditions for mastering complex technical skills in roller ski training.
