PHYSICAL TRAINING OF A GOALKEEPER

The content of the goalkeeper training process differs significantly from the training of a field player and is determined by the specificity of his game activity. This is expressed in a large volume of individual training and self-training of goalkeepers, in the specialization of the training loads they perform, in the focus and content of physical, technical-tactical and psychological training. General physical training of goalkeepers is aimed at the comprehensive and harmonious development of all organs and systems and is carried out according to a single plan for all team players, mainly in ice-free conditions. Specialized training is also carried out off the ice and is aimed at developing those motor qualities and abilities that mainly limit the goalkeeper's activity. These include: speed qualities (speed of complex reactions, speed of performing individual movements and frequency of movements) speed-strength manifestations of various muscle groups (arms, legs, torso) static endurance of the leg and back muscles flexibility, expressed in mobility in the joints of the upper and lower extremities, as well as in the mobility of the spine coordination qualities Specialized training is carried out on the basis of special preparatory exercises. To develop speed qualities, means are used mainly aimed at the speed of performing special movements and the athlete's reaction. Speed-strength qualities are developed in specialized movements with light weights. Static endurance of the back and leg muscles is developed with the help of various isometric static exercises in poses corresponding to the basic goalkeeper stance. To develop flexibility, various stretching exercises are used, with an increase in the amplitude of movement (bends, splits, half-splits, turns, twists, various twists). Coordination skills are developed with the help of combined complex coordination exercises, including elements of acrobatic exercises. Special physical training is carried out on the ice of the hockey field in the structure of basic motor skills.
