Features of training student athletes in 800 and 1500 meter running at a university

the study is devoted to the specifics of training student athletes specializing in 800 and 1500 meter running within the framework of the university program. The aim of the work was to develop and test a training process methodology that takes into account the specifics of the distances, the level of physical fitness of students and their academic workload. The hypothesis of the study assumed that a differentiated approach to training based on the individual characteristics of athletes would improve their results at both distances. The study involved 30 student athletes, divided into two groups: specializing in middle distances (800, 1500 m). The research methods included analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, testing of physical fitness and experimental testing of training programs. The results showed that the use of specialized training complexes that take into account the physiological and psychological characteristics of students helps to improve their athletic performance. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, which allows us to recommend it for implementation in university programs for training athletes. The findings of the study highlight the importance of an individual approach and taking into account academic workload when planning the training process.
