Theoretical Aspects of the Athletic Training for High-Skilled Players Development as Exemplified by Table Tennis

Problems of the athletic training, particularly those that refer to the most important and complex ones in the modern sport, require further insightful decision. So far the general-purpose aspects of the athletic training have been largely developed. The basis for the theoretical generalization made the facts, results of observations and experimental studies, obtained mainly in sports with an objective evaluation of the results. General regularities of the Soviet system of athletic training have received a broad generalization in the research papers of Ozolin (1949), Matveev (2005), Vaitsekhovsky (1970), Nabatvikova (1982), Platonov (1987), and Filin (1980). At the same time, it remains unexplored, in particular, the extent to which the general aspects and patterns revealed in the sports theory are valid for the training of highly-skilled athletes in sports with a different evaluation of results, which include individual types of sports games. There are no experimental studies that reveal the fundamentals of construction of training of high-skilled athletes in individual sports, which makes it necessary to conduct them. When developing the concept of the fundamentals of construction of training of high-skilled athletes, the parameters of the competitive activity of the modern highly-skilled table tennis athletes will be determined on the example of table tennis; we shall introduce in the practice the idea of volume and structure of training and competitive loads of highly-skilled athletes; we shall explore functional changes caused by competitive loads of high-class tennis players and methodical approaches to the definition of the competition form, the models of the training facilities and load parameters in training spells, microcycles, mesocycles and macrocycles of training of high-skilled athletes taking into account the specifics of competitive activity on the basis of the general principles of athletic training
