This article examines the peculiarities of training martial artists (judo) in mountainous conditions. The reason for writing the article was information that the XXXII Summer Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo 2020. The decision was made on September 7, 2013 at the 125th IOC session in Buenos Aires. Mountain training, for today, is one of the modern technologies for training athletes. Analysis of literary data convincingly shows that the use of training in the mountains for athletes of high qualification, both in cyclical sports and in martial arts, where a sufficiently high level of all qualities is required, raises the level of special working capacity and improves sporting achievements in the usual flat conditions. But in modern ideas of training in mountainous terrain there are still contradictions. In short, the situation is paradoxical: some scientists write that training in the mountains does not give any advantages when performing at sea level competitions compared to training at sea level (Jensen and Fisher, 1979; McArdle et al., 1991; Wilmore and Costill, 1993; Brooks et al., 1996). Other researchers reported on the high efficiency of mining training as a means of enhancing functional capabilities and sports performance in all sports (Fuchs, Reib, 1990; Saltin, Kim et al., 1995); (Chung et al., 1995; Levine and Stray-Gunders-en, 1997; Platonov, 1997; Wilmore, Costill, 2004) and others. But, nevertheless, already at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, most gold medals were won by athletes using training in the middle mountains. Despite the contradictions in scientific ideas and theoretical disputes, mountain preparation has become a component of the training process of many successful national teams since the summer Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968. At present, the search for the optimal balance of different types of loads during training in the mountains continues. At the same time, in the issues of training athletes in mid-mountain conditions there is still a lot of unexplored. This is the reason for the relevance of the chosen topic.
У даній статті розглядаються особливості підготовки єдиноборців (дзюдо) в гірських умовах. Приводом для написання статті стала інформація про те, що XXXII Літні Олімпійські ігри пройдуть в Токіо 2020. Рішення було прийнято 7 вересня 2013 року на 125-й сесії МОК в Буенос-Айресі. Гірська підготовка, на сьогодні, є однією з сучасних технологій підготовки спортсменів. Світова практика гірських тренувань існує давно. Але тим не менш, в питаннях підготовки спортсменів в умовах середньогір'я залишається ще багато невивченою. Цим і зумовлена актуальність обраної теми.
