Studying the different sides of 400 m sports preparation is a key factor for the proper development of sports
results. Strength training is one of the most important parts of sprint running. The object of the study is
sports training of athletes in the 400 m sprint, and in particular strength training. The subject is the content
and volume of the annual preparation for girls under 18, specializing in 400 m sprint. We used the following
methods: sports-pedagogical and technical-tactical analysis of athletes; interview; Case-study analysis;
Mathematical and statistical methods. We analyzed: 16 macrocycles.
Girls under 18 years have a large set of auxiliary exercises for strength training-total of 52. Volumetric
characteristics must be precisely used according to age and individual qualities. We established minimum,
maximum, and average volume values of the various means in macro-, meso- and microcycles.
In conclusion, we can note the need for more scientific and methodological developments to help the
process of applying specific volumes for the different strength exercises, during the different periods of
annual preparation. With this study, we present relevant information for the volume and diversity of used
athletic means used in practice and can help other coaches
