Purpose: to determine the most effective methods and means of training and their ratio in the process of strength and functional training of qualified skiers-racers during the preparatory period. Material: The study involved 16 qualified skiers-racers aged 18-22 years. Two groups of 8 athletes were formed, and there were no significant (p<0,05) differences in the level of preparedness indicators. In the following research methods were used: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological information, surveys and questionnaires of experts and athletes, pedagogical observation, testing, pedagogical experiment. Research methods: assessment of special strength qualities and functional fitness of athletes was carried out by specially selected control exercises: to overcome on the roller skaters the lifting of standard length and steepness (5-6° and 500 m) with a maximum intensity with a simultaneous, double pole technique and 1000 meters free style (free skating) "holding" a given tempo of movements during a shift work with the hands on the ski trainer for 30 s ; modified strength test (on a ski simulator) according to the method of V. L. Karpman. Conclusions: The use of dynamic and static exercises after aerobic stress in the training process of skilled athletes has made it possible to reliably increase the speed-strength and functional capabilities of skiers whose manifestation is necessary at the end of the competitive distance.
