This study aims to develop an experimental training program to increase the physical preparedness of highly skilled football players in the preparatory period of the annual macrocycle by means of fitness training. Material and Methods Participants: 34 players of Football Club "Zorya" (Luhansk city) aged 25.5±1.6 years. Methods: pedagogical experiment; tests of general and special physical fitness, mathematical statistics. The object of research is the indicators of physical preparedness of highly skilled football players in the preparatory and competitive periods of the annual training cycle. Results Experimental program was developed to increase the efficiency of the training process of highly skilled football players. The main feature of this program was the use of innovative methods of modern fitness training: TRX/TRX-Rip, MAX®, Tabata, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Strenflex, 6D Sliding, myo-fascial release, in addition to the classic methods of exercises. Functional classes that based on the use of step platforms were offered instead of classical aerobics classes. The physical preparedness testing of FC “Zorya” football players at the end of the preparatory period of the 2019/2020 season indicated a significantly better level of athlete’s readiness for the next competitive period comparing to the corresponding periods of the previous season.
