This article presents a modern pedagogical methodology for preparing 15–17-year-old hurdle runners (competing in 100m, 110m, and 400m events) within the training groups of sports schools and Olympic reserve centers. The study focuses on athletes in their second or third year of training. Mechanisms were developed to optimize the balance between general physical preparation (GPP), special physical preparation (SPP), and technical-tactical elements throughout the four stages of the annual training macrocycle: general preparation, special preparation, pre-competition (including the main competition phase), and the transition phase. In the pedagogical experiment, the efficiency coefficient of hurdling technique (Δt = t_hurdle − t_flat), the stability of the three-stride rhythm between hurdles, and the growth dynamics of speed-strength indicators were evaluated using the Brody formula and Student’s t-test. In the experimental group, the technical index improved from 1.82 ± 0.09 seconds to 1.44 ± 0.07 seconds (p < 0.01), while performance in the 110m hurdles improved by an average of 6.04%.
