Evaluation of the results of the study of individual indicators of physical development, special physical fitness and sports nutrition "Power Pro" of graduates of higher education with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers
In order to achieve and maintain a high level of functional and physical fitness, high sports results, and maintaining the health of those who practice, a number of pedagogical, methodical, psychological, and medical-biological aspects are necessary. Therefore, the introduction of specialized sports nutrition is expedient. With the rational development of nutrition schemes, it is possible to increase the performance of athletes, improve all necessary indicators and planned results. The purpose of the article is to develop a program and recommendations for optimizing sports nutrition "Power Pro" and research the impact of specialized nutrition on individual anthropometric, indicators of general and special physical fitness of graduates of higher education with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers. The experiment involved young men (average age 19.10±0.74), high school graduates with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers (Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs), who were divided into 2 groups – control (n= 15) and experimental (n=15). The purpose of using specialized sports nutrition was as follows: 1. Increasing both general and special fitness (training and competition). 2. Preventive action of possible injuries and disruption of adaptation. 3. Timely and correct recovery of the body of those who are engaged, after a state of overstrain. 4. Providing the body of those who are struggling with food substances, taking into account individual energy consumption. To test the developed program for the introduction of specialized sports nutrition, before and after the experiment, the following parameters were studied: height, weight, dynamometers, VL, impact force. We have developed and implemented schemes for the ratio and combination of food substances: whey protein, BCAA (branched chain amino acids), creatine, taurine, a complex of vitamins and minerals. When developing the program of specialized sports nutrition "Power Pro" for the experimental group, the main factors such as age characteristics and body weight, gender of the test subjects, as well as individual characteristics of their physical development, specifics of the sport were directly analyzed. The obtained results of the study showed a statistically significant improvement of individual anthropometric and indicators of special physical fitness in the experimental group (p<0.05). This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the positive dynamics of the implemented program of specialized sports nutrition on the monitored indicators, which are basic for athletes specializing in mixed martial arts.
