Abstract
Objective of the study was to offer a set of efficient precompetitive fitness rating criteria for junior bandy sport.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled 14 young hockey players born in 2006 for the precompetitive fitness rating study run at the regional Children and Youth Olympic Reserve Sport School bandy group in Ulyanovsk. Motor skills, physicality and functionality of the sample were tested by the standard tests as provided by the valid Federal Standard for bandy sport. In addition, we mined for analysis the technical and tactical skills test data of Volga Children and Youth Olympic Reserve Sport School bandy team that competed in the regional 2019 Bandy Tournament in memory of V.S. Dorofeev, Master of Sports of the USSR.
Results and discussion. Having analyzed the actual test data of the sample, we found its overall physical fitness mostly matching with the valid standards. The special physical fitness test rates were the following: speed rating 30m ice skating sprint test was 69% successful; and coordination rating 6x9 shuttle skating test 2 was 84% successful. The technical and tactical skills of the sample were tested in practical qualification competitions of December 2019. A comparative technical and tactical skills data analysis found certain variability in the technical and tactical skills efficiency and effectiveness on every technical and tactical skills test scale. The technical and tactical skills match statistics classified by the game roles (defenders, midfielders, forwards) with the error rates (%), plus the individual overall physical fitness, special physical fitness and team fitness rates made it possible to rank the players by the precompetitive fitness prior to qualification matches for the Russian Bandy Championship.
Keywords: bandy, precompetitive training, training and competitive progress, overall physical fitness, special physical fitness, technical and tactical skills of junior bandy players.
Background. It is traditional for the bandy theory and practice to give a special priority in an annual training cycle to precompetitive (special preparatory) training stage. Modern training systems require comprehensive performance databanks being formed and processes to keep track of every player's fitness and performance so that the coach could manage and individualize the training cycles on an informative basis and, as a result, help the team reach the peak competitive fitness for success in the top-ranking bandy tournaments [1]. Functionality test rates are ranked high among the key criteria of the individual precompetitive fitness [2].
Objective of the study was to offer a set of efficient precompetitive fitness rating criteria for youth bandy sport.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled 14 young hockey players born in 2006 for the precompetitive fitness rating study run at the regional Children and Youth Olympic Reserve Sport School (CYORSS) bandy group in Ulyanovsk. Motor skills, physicality and functionality of the sample were tested by the standard tests as provided by the valid Federal Standard for bandy sport. In addition, we mined for analysis the technical and tactical skills test data of Volga CYORSS bandy team that competed in the
regional 2019 Bandy Tournament in memory of V.S. Dorofeev, Master of Sports of the USSR. Analyses of the modern bandy sport show that fitness in youth bandy may be rated by: (1) overall physical fitness tests; (2) special physical fitness tests; (3) technical and tactical skills tests; and (4) team's pre-sea-sonal fitness tests. The overall physical fitness of the 2-year sample was tested in September 2019 by the scheduled progress tests.
Results and discussion. Having analyzed the actual test data of the sample, we found its overall physical fitness mostly matching with the valid standards [3]. The following overall physical fitness tests classified by tested physical qualities generated the following data: (1) Speed rating 60m sprint test 1 was 78% successful; (2) Speed endurance rating 200m running test 2 was 85% successful; (3) Coordination qualities rating 5x6m shuttle sprint test 3 was 92% successful; 4) Strength rating prone push-ups test 4 was 100% successful; and (5) speed-strength rating standing long jump test 5 was 92% successful.
Furthermore, we analyzed the special physical fitness test data of the 2-year sample as of November 2019 generated by practical tests on the ice rink. The special physical fitness test success rates were the following: (1) Speed rating 30m ice skating sprint test 1 was 69% successful; and (2) Coordination rating 6x9 shuttle skating test 2 was 84% successful.
The technical and tactical skills of the sample were tested in practical qualification competitions of December 2019. A comparative technical and tactical skills test data analysis found certain variability in the
technical and tactical skills efficiency and effectiveness on every technical and tactical skills test scale. The technical and tactical skills statistics for one of the matches classified by the game roles (defenders, midfielders, forwards) with the error rates (%) of 3 couples are given in Table 1 hereunder
As demonstrated by Table 1, records of the individual performances classified by successful and unsuccessful technical and tactical skills with the error rates are rather informative as they make it possible to rank players by every technical and tactical skills and competitive performances on the whole based on the technical and tactical skills totals. For example, forward A demonstrated technical and tactical skills = 64 (47 and 17 successful and unsuccessful ones, respectively) per match with the 26.5% error rate; versus forward B with his technical and tactical skills =66 (40 successes and 26 failures) with the 39.4% error rate.
The test data and analyses made it possible to rank the players' fitness for the upcoming qualifications for the Russian Bandy Championship, the first official tournament of the 2019/2020 season. The tests were found rather beneficial as the individual competitive technical and tactical skills totals and error rates in a few prior matches gave the coaches a sound analytical basis to form a starting line for the top-ranking event.
The study was finalized by the bandy team tests and analyses to rate the team fitness for the competitive season. Benefits of the performance testing and analyzing model were proved by the actual team's

performance in the precompetitive stage when it won the regional tournament in memory of V.S. Dorofeev, plus won 4 out of 6 fitness test friendly matches with the peer teams. The precompetitive trainings with the new performance test system were crowned by the Volga CYORSS bandy team success in qualifications for the Russian Bandy Championship of the 14 year-olds in January 2020 in Kazan with the following success record: 5 matches, 4 wins, first place and a successful qualification for the Russian Junior (14 year-olds') Bandy Championship in Moscow. Therefore, the new precompetitive performance and fitness testing and analyzing model was found beneficial in practical tests of the Volga CYORSS bandy team players born in 2006.
Conclusion. The study data and analyses found the new precompetitive performance and fitness testing and analyzing model with its set of technical
and tactical skills test criteria beneficial for the precompetitive fitness ranking in youth bandy sport and precompetitive training system customization purposes.
