Modern biathlon training systems give a special priority to the speed and strength building practices viewed as a basis for special physical fitness. However, forced high-intensity training of junior athletes may be detrimental in the short and long run. This is the reason why the sport science takes efforts to find the best load control options for every age group with the relevant most effective athletic training methods and tools. The study offers an experimental special endurance-building model for sport excellence groups in biathlon that is designed based on the individualised training load controls and prudently selected sets of the special endurance building tools at every stage of pre-season. The article offers the experimentally proven controlled special speed and strength endurance building process model for the training meso-cycles at the special pre-season training stages. The study data and analyses showed benefits of the proposed training model as verified by the significant differences in the progress of the Experimental Group versus Reference Group; and, therefore, the training model may be recommended for application in the training process of junior biathletes.
