TECHNOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT OF TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL READINESS OF ATHLETES IN MARTIAL ARTS (BASED ON HAND-HAND COMBAT MATERIAL)

Abstract

The article is devoted to solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of assessing the technical and tactical readiness of athletes in martial arts as an important element of the management and control system in the process of long-term training. The purpose of the study is to develop and substantiate the technology for assessing the technical and tactical readiness of athletes, to determine the requirements and patterns of performing individual elements and technical actions in general, the criteria and algorithm for assessing errors, classification of errors, etc. Materials and methods.  The study was attended by 7 experts (coaches with more than five years of experience), with higher coaching qualifications, from the bottom four – Honored Coaches of Ukraine and judges of the international category. The work used theoretical analysis and generalization of special scientific and methodological literature on assessing technical and tactical readiness in martial arts, pedagogical observations, interviews, questionnaires, generalization of the best practices of specialists. To achieve the set goal, the method of expert assessment was used. The degree of consistency of which was established by calculating the concordance coefficient. An assessment of the effectiveness of technology was carried out in the process of a transformative pedagogical experiment. Research results. The technology for assessing the technical and tactical preparedness of athletes has been developed and substantiated, the requirements and patterns of performance of individual elements and technical actions in general have been determined. The main link in the technology for assessing the technical and tactical preparedness of athletes in martial arts is the construction of its algorithm, which consists of the following operations: determining the effectiveness (quality of performance of the motor task); comparison with the parameters of the reference technique; determining the difference between the real result and the possible one; making a decision on the assessment.  An important result of the work is the determination of gradation and classification of errors. When assessing technical and tactical preparedness, the expert must determine the qualification of the error and, within the specified range, assess the performance of the technique, subtracting the number of penalty points scored from the maximum possible score, which is ten points. The general criterion for the objective of the assessment of technical skill in sports should be considered in its correspondence to the real level of the athlete’s skill itself. Conclusions. The proposed technology is an effective tool for improving the quality of assessing the technical and tactical preparedness of athletes in martial arts.
