A METHODOLOGY FOR OPTIMIZING THE SPECIALIZED PRE-COMPETITION PHYSICAL TRAINING OF SKILLED VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS
Abstract
This article provides a detailed analysis of methodological approaches aimed at improving the specialized physical conditioning of elite volleyball players during their pre-competition training period. It also examines the factors that ensure the effectiveness of these approaches, along with ways to plan and optimize the training process. Furthermore, scientifically-based load planning, the application of an individualized approach, the effective organization of recovery processes, and regular monitoring of athletes' functional state are considered as crucial factors. The research findings indicate that the developed optimized methodology significantly enhances athletes' physical fitness, reduces the risk of injury, and ensures consistently high results during competition. Furthermore, it was determined that using a set of exercises focused on specialized physical training during the pre-competition preparation phase markedly improves volleyball players' speed, jumping ability, and endurance.

The objective of the study is to develop and experimentally test an effective methodological system aimed at improving the special physical preparedness of elite volleyball players during the pre-competition period.
Research Methodology. Sixteen elite male volleyball players, aged 18–19, from the Uzbek State University of Physical Culture and Sports participated in the experiment. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=8) and a control group (n=8). The study was conducted on the basis of the "UzDJTSU" club at the Uzbek State University of Physical Culture and Sports.
Experimental group (n = 8): trained based on the new methodology.
Control group (n = 8): trained according to the traditional program.
The following complex exercises were utilized to conduct the study. Training sessions were carried out over a period of 8 weeks.
