Modern and methodic approaches to express-assessment of functional preparation of highly qualified athletes

The purpose of the study was to experimentally verify the informativity and objectivity of the innovative method for assessing the fitness of athletes to improve the effectiveness of the medical and biological control and training process. The object of the study is a system of medical and biological monitoring of the functional fitness of athletes. The subject of the study is the degree of coherence of the indicators of functional preparedness, determined by direct (laboratory) and indirect (innovative) research methods. Participants. To assess the validity and representativeness of the innovative method for determining the level of functional preparedness and its individual indicators, 15 athletes aged 19-20 years old attended the British Student Sports Clubs. Results. The analysis of the data allowed to establish the high informative and objective nature of the developed innovative method for assessing the current level of functional preparedness, which was reflected in the high degree of coherence between the parameters of functional preparedness of the surveyed athletes determined by two different methods. It was shown that the mean values of absolute and relative values of all studied indices were not significantly different (p
