THE VALUE OF FUNCTIONAL ASYMMETRY IN IMPROVING TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL TRAINING IN WOMEN’S BOXING

Abstract

The article deals with the importance of functional asymmetry and the level of its influence onthe construction of special movements, which will be needed during the training of complicated coordinationexercises and in the process of improving the technical and tactical training in boxing in female individuals.This will be especially true for the younger age groups of women’s boxing – girls and juniors. The purposeof the research is to study the effect of functional asymmetry in boxing. Material and methods of research:theoretical analysis of special and scientific literature, generalization of materials of the Internet. Researchresults. Identified: several types of functional asymmetry, lack of literary sources in boxing, which highlightsthe functional asymmetry in the training of women, influence of functional asymmetry to the developmentand dominance of certain physical qualities, special methodological approaches to eliminate asymmetry,changing functional asymmetry according to the age and sports experience, increasing variable actions duringstressful situations. The inexpediency of determining the asymmetry only by the dominant limb, and usingan integrated approach to the definition of the leading: limbs (arm, leg) and sensory systems (eye, ear), whichforms an individual profile of asymmetry. It is revealed the influence of individual asymmetry profile on the development and improvement of technical and tactical training exercises in different sports. It is giventhe examples of different sports and martial arts, which emphasize the importance of functional asymmetryand its psychological impact to the features of training. It has been defined the optimal tests to identify individualasymmetry profiles that are available for use in convenient conditions. It is established that the data of studieson functional asymmetry given by leading scientists can be used to improve technical and tactical training inwomen’s boxing. Conclusions. Before starting to improve the technical and tactical training, the individualprofile of the asymmetry of the female boxer should be determined. General tests for determining asymmetryshould be coupled with special boxing exercises. According to the results of the tests, it is important to developan individual training model for each individual based on her IPA, starting with the youngest age groupof women’s boxing – girls and juniors.
