Abstract. This article illustrates organizing and planning the training of sprinters in a yearly cycle. The principle of proportionality in the training of physical qualities of sprinters envisages the observance of the optimal ratio of the level of development of physical qualities at each stage of a person's age. In the performance of this or that exercise, the intensity, size and time of repetition of exercises in each direction are correctly selected, and their most successful ratio ensures the growth of results in special exercises. It is possible to achieve balance in the training of individual physical qualities of sprinters due to the correct selection of means and methods of their execution.
