Abstract

Engaging in powerlifting among middle-aged and early adult women is a pertinent subject due to its potential contributions to health, well-being, self-confidence, empowerment, and social interaction. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors influencing the impact of powerlifting on the physical and psychological well-being of middle-aged and early adult women. Additionally, it seeks to develop a proprietary training methodology to achieve high athletic performance and prevent injuries during powerlifting sessions. The research involved middle-aged and early adult women participating in powerlifting at the «Prometheus» sports club in Poltava, Ukraine. Data was collected on participants’ physical indicators, including strength, endurance, flexibility, and other parameters. Comparative analysis of results was conducted with a control group employing alternative training methods, and the effectiveness of the developed methodology was assessed based on the obtained results compared to the control group. Conclusions. The powerlifting training methodology, formulated on the basis of macrocycles and mesocycles, serves as an effective tool for preparing athletes for competitions and achieving optimal athletic results. Distributing training into mesocycles with varying durations and load characteristics facilitates gradual performance improvement and reaching peak physical condition. Implementation of this methodology aids in preventing overtraining and injuries, as it incorporates necessary recovery periods between training sessions. The methodology can be tailored to athletes’ needs and capabilities, offering them a rational preparation for competitions and enhancing physical fitness. Further research into this methodology can contribute to the ongoing refinement of the training process within the realm of powerlifting.
