Analysis and optimization of training load to improve bench press performance in young powerlifters

Анотація

The study addresses the growing need for individualized training strategies in young powerlifters, particularly under conditions of early specialization and increasing competitive demands. Existing methods often neglect age-specific morphofunctional characteristics, resulting in suboptimal development. The research aims to substantiate scientifically grounded approaches for optimizing training loads to enhance bench press performance during the stage of preliminary basic training. It was established that special physical preparedness plays a decisive role in performance outcomes, while irrational load distribution leads to functional decline and technical instability. The study proposes a structured model incorporating variable resistance and speed-strength elements as a more adaptive approach. This model enables progressive strength gains while minimizing overload risks. The findings confirm the effectiveness of load variation and individualized training design. Further research will explore biomechanical profiling and real-time feedback technologies.
