Checking the effectiveness of the method of conducting physical education classes with 17-19-year-old female students of special medical group

Abstract

The article is aimed at investigating the influence of the method of conducting physical education classes on the development of motor abilities and morphofunctional abilities of 17-19-year-old female students with health disorders who are referred to special medical groups. Participants: 34 female students of the Khmelnytskyi humanitarian-pedagogical academy, who belong by their health status to the special medical group. Methods: analysis of normative documents, training programs, scientific and methodical sources; pedagogical experiment; pedagogical observation; methods of mathematical statistics. To determine the initial level of physical abilities of female students, the testing method was used. Evaluation of the morphofunctional condition of female students used the technique that provided results in the following indices: vital; Robinson index; Ruffier-Dickson test; Stange test; BMI body mass index. Results. It has been proved that the proposed method of conducting classes promotes gradual development of the female students' respiratory system. The analysis of the dynamics of the Stange test shows improvement of indicators from 23.4±2.6 to 36.5+2.9, which corresponds to the development of the respiratory system from poor to normal levels of an adult. The dynamics of indicators of Ruffier-Dickson test from 13.8=1.5 to 9.2±1.5 indicated improvement in the physical performance of heart from poor to satisfactory levels. The recovery time after physical exercises increased significantly from 127.0+4.2 to 112.0+3.6, confirming the positive changes in the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of female students with disabilities. Body mass index and indicators of life index showed the presence of excess weight of the subjects. During the experiment, these indicators gradually improved, but it was possible to reach the norm only in the first subgroup. The developed method of carrying out of physical-fitness classes has helped to improve the quantitative assessment of female students' energy potential. The change in the Robinson index from 97.7±2.04 to 90.4 ±1.93 in the first subgroup and from 101.312.12 to 94.6±2.1 in the second subgroup indicates the transition from poor functioning of the cardiovascular system to satisfactory level of its functioning. Conclusions: The analysis of indicators of physical condition of 17-19-year-old female students of special medical group at the beginning and at the end of the experiment shows that the use of the author's method of conducting physical education classes had a positive impact on the development of their physical abilities. The most significant changes occurred in the development of endurance +25.8 =0.73, coordination ability +11.8=0.43, force endurance +9.9 =0.32. The indicators of speed development and force significantly improved +5.7±0.19, +4.5±0.17. The slightest changes were recorded in the development of flexibility +1.4±0.1. The analysis of the dynamics of changes in physical state of 17-19-year-old female students in the first and second subsroups shows positive tendencv in the development of physical qualities of female students of both sroups.
