METHODOLOGY FOR INTEGRATING TRACK AND FIELD EXERCISES INTO THE EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING PROCESS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEED-STRENGTH QUALITIES

The article is devoted to the study of methodological approaches to integrating track and field exercises into the educational and training process of higher education students for the development of speed-strength qualities. The relevance of the work is determined by the declining level of physical fitness among students and the need to search for effective means to improve it. The work analyses the theoretical foundations of speed-strength training and presents classifications of track and field exercises based on their targeted impact. An experimental methodology is described, including running, jumping, and complex exercises of varying intensity. The results of the pedagogical experiment showed a significant improvement in speedstrength ability test indicators among students in the experimental group. The proposed methodology is based on the integrated application of running, jumping (plyometric), and combined exercises, with workload carefully regulated in terms of volume and intensity. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the developed methodology within physical education classes at universities of various profiles.
