DETERMINING THE DEGREE OF STABILITY OF THE ATHLETE BODY USING MICROSOFT EXCEL

Abstract

The degree of stability of the athlete's body, which is in a position of equilibrium, is an important biomechanical characteristic that determines his ability to maintain and restore balance under the influence of external and internal factors. The ability to quickly and correctly determine the degree of stability of the athlete's body in a position of equilibrium is important for optimizing movement technique, increasing training efficiency and reducing the risk of injuries.

Most authors determine the degree of stability of the body in this way: they make photograms in the sagittal and frontal planes; determine the ZCM and its height on them; find the corresponding dimensions of the support areas, angles of stability and shoulders of force application; calculate the overturning moment and moments of stability and calculate the coefficient of stability of the body in the studied position.

The purpose of the article is to propose an algorithm for creating a tool for determining the degree of stability of an athlete's body in a position of equilibrium for students who are mastering the discipline of biomechanics, researchers and coaches, using the capabilities of the MS Excel 2019 software.

The methodology is based on the study of educational and methodological materials and analysis of the functionality of the software, a combination of biomechanics methods and mathematical approaches, the use of computer technologies and modeling.

Scientific novelty Using the functionality of the MS Excel 2019 software, a product was created that can be used in the study of biomechanics, scientific research on the degree of stability of an athlete's body and in operational control of the training process by coaches.

Conclusions. The template for calculating the degree of stability of an athlete's body in a position of equilibrium presented in the article makes it possible to relatively quickly calculate stability indicators. This allows students to reduce time spent, improve the quality and accuracy of construction when performing practical work in biomechanics classes. The widespread use of MS Excel software allows it to be used in distance learning for students, as well as by coaches and researchers in the field of physical culture and sports.
