Monitoring of Sport Training and Regulation of Competitive State in Elite Athletes

One of the important segments in the field of sport science is how to implement a long-term,systematic and scientific monitoring in the process of elite athletes' training so that the athletes' competitive state will be successfully regulated before they participate in top-level competitions.1)Scientific training monitoring is very important in evaluating training workloads,assessing exercise-induced fatigue and preventing overtraining.A number of athletes and coaches have recognized the value of biological indexes and use them as guides to training.Monitoring in sports training involves diagnosis of physical functioning,assessment of psychological state,and analysis of movement techniques,to name a few.Both physiological and biochemical indexes,such as cardiovascular and respiratory ,blood,hormone indexes and immunological indexes, are mainly used in diagnosing elite athletes' physical functioning in order to avoid excessive training or overtraining which can impair performance.Combined with the process of training,features of physical function changes are analyzed both before and after training so as to accurately evaluate the scientific standard and validity of the training loads and training methods.By employing methods such as image measurement and analysis,mechanical theory analysis and power measurement and analysis,both qualitative and quantitative diagnosing is administered to athletes' event-specific skills with the purpose to optimize individual techniques and to constantly improve the effect of sports training.In conformity with the specific sport events that elite athletes perform,the indexes to diagnose and assess the psychological state of the athletes include the state of psychological and neural fatigue,concentration levels,cognitive levels of specific events,psychological skill level,and psychological excitement during competition,and team cohesiveness etc.By assessing these psychological indexes,the in-competition psychological state of the elite athletes can be learned,to which the athletes' systematic psychology training and in-competition psychological regulation can refer.2)Regulating elite athletes' competitive state can not only enhance athletes' sporting competence but also give full play to their acquired maximum sporting competence in competition.The regulation of elite athletes' competitive state is an important and difficult issue as well in the research of sports training.Currently,the regulation of elite athletes' competitive capacity is mainly concerned with the following two aspects:training experience and experimental test.The regulation of competitive capacity by means of experimental test is primarily based on the following methods:Establishing optimal model;Tapering for peak performance; Nutritional supplement ;Regulating mental competitive state,psychological state.3) Features of monitoring training and regulating competitive state in China:More efforts have been made on studies about the elite athletes in China;The researchers are of a multi-disciplinary group,they are experts of various disciplines;The research findings of Chinese scholars can be applied directly to sport training.
