Training Process Programming of Qualified Football Players in Higher Education Establishments
Relevance. Modern trends in the athletes’ training need to find new ways to improve the structure and content of different structural units of the training process. One of the most effective theoretical and methodological approaches in the athletes’ training is programming. The purpose is to launch structural units program of the training process and, on this basis, to increase the efficiency of qualified football players training in the annual macrocycle in terms of higher educational establishments.
