передзмагальна підготовка (БПП), за допомогою якої легкоатлети повинні привести себе в стан високої або найвищої
працездатності. Встановлено, що помилки в побудові етапу БПП часто служать причиною не тільки невдалого виступу
в головному змаганні, але й уповільненого зростання досягнень і навіть погіршення їх. Всю підготовку спортсмена

If the goal of competition is only of training or control nature and athlete is not eager to achieve a high result, then DPT is not necessary before the starts. Such a combination of the process of training and participation in competitions may occur in the first competitions at the beginning of the competitive period. However, when there is a participating in high-level competitions or even more in the culminating competitions, in such an event, DPT is essential.
Mistakes in the building of the phase of the DPT are often the reason not only for an unsuccessful speech in the main competition, but it is also the reason for a slowed down growth of achievements and even deterioration of them. All training of an athlete can be considered successful if he shows the best result in the crucial competition with a significant progress in his accomplishments.
