Correlation Analysis of Readiness Indicators of Athletes and Their Competitive Results in Kettlebell Sport

The correlation between the indicators of physical, functional and technical readiness of athletes of different qualification and their competitive results in kettlebell sport is investigated in this article. Eighty six sportsmen (17–28 years old) participated in the research. They were divided into 3 groups according to their level of readiness. Group A included athletes with 3 and 2 grades (n = 34), group B – athletes with 1 grade and master of sport candidates (n = 27), group C – high-level athletes [masters of sport (MS), masters of sport of international class (MSIC), n=26]. Reliable correlation (P <0.05) was found between the competitive results of athletes with high qualifications and their indicators in: 3-km running, squatting with a barbell, class traction, bar with two 32-kg kettlebells in the initial position, bar with two 24-kg kettlebells in the position of fixation; heart rate at rest, vital capacity, duration of recovery process; duration of static phases, size of corners between the parts of the body in the main phases, rate of exercise performance.
