The study purpose. To study the peculiarities of the influence of different load regimes on the training level of MMA athletes. Materials and methods. 75 athletes aged 19-20 years participated in the study. The research lasted 12 weeks. The study participants were divided into 3 homogeneous groups. Each of the groups used training load regimes with different volume and intensity parameters. The integral method of quantitative estimation of load capacity and the method of testing the level of kicking techniques are used in the research. Results. The 3rd group athletes who used high-intensity load regime (Ra=0.72) had by 16.5% and 39.4% higher initial parameters of the projectile working mass compared to the results of the 1st and 2nd groups of bodybuilders. The load amount indicator in a set was on average by 49.9% higher in conditions of the low-intensity load regime, Ra=0.53 (group 1) compared to other groups. Despite a more pronounced increase in leg strength in group 3 athletes (by 1.5 times), there remained a similar difference between load indicators. During the study this group athletes had 3 times higher level of kicking technique (number of kicks with maximum force for 20 seconds). Conclusions. Anaerobic-alactate loads with the maximum muscle strength of 72-75% of 1RM are optimal for increasing the level of kicking technique in MMA athletes at the stage of specialized basic training.
