Theoretical bases for modeling sports training of stayers using digital technologies

Herzen Dmitry Alexandrovich

This article focuses on solving the following goal: strategies for integrating digital technologies in sports training for long-term athletes. The study was conducted based on the method of analysis of scientific literature, digital devices and applications (Training Peaks, Strava, Endomondo, Runkeeper, Google Fit, Nike + Run Club, etc.). The author defines sports smart training. The article establishes and describes three strategies for the implementation of sports smart training for marathon runners. The first strategy assumes that the athlete interacts with the coach in person, therefore, it is advisable to use digital technologies at the stages of implementation, monitoring and evaluation, indirectly at the planning stage, since, considering sports training on a cyclic scale, it is obvious that sports training is adapted at the stage of subsequent planning, taking into account the assessment carried out. The second strategy is focused on replacing the coach with a smart coach. In this case, the smart coach is delegated the authority to plan, control and evaluate training activities. The third strategy involves independent training by an athlete who uses digital technologies primarily at the stages of implementation, control (wearable sensors, sports watches), indirectly at the stages of planning and assessment (smart applications), but the athlete makes decisions independently.
