this article analyzes the step-by-step approach of the process of preparing young athletes for middle-distance running competitions in a scientific-theoretical and practical way. The stage preparation model is planned in accordance with the biological development, functional capabilities of the athlete and the level of formation of energy systems. The article extensively covers the purpose, loading features and training methodology of each preparation phase based on the long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model. The benefits of using modern monitoring and functional testing technologies are also demonstrated in assessing the fitness of athletes. The results of the study prove the need for preparation to be carried out on an individual and periodic basis in order to effectively form the potential of young athletes.
