School physical education program variable component Sportization

Abstract

Research aim is to develop and test the variable school PE lesson technology sportization on order to improve children's aged 12-13 coordination and motor abilities level. Materials and methods. The pedagogical experiment was conducted on the basis of the secondary school in the All-Russian Children's Center «Orlyonok» (Krasnodar Territory, Russia). 40 children aged 12-13 participated in it. Control and experimental groups of 10 boys and 10 girls were formed. In both groups, PE classes were held 3 times a week for 45 minutes (102 hours per year). In the control group, classes were conducted according to the comprehensive school PE program in force in Russia. In the experimental group, two classes per week were conducted according to this program (68 hours per year). The third lesson (34 hours per year) was organized according to the variable PE lesson sportization technology developed by the authors. We used the game of table tennis in combination with a set of physical exercises performance on the Bosu Balance Pod (bosu) hemisphere to increase vestibular stability, balance function, coordination and motor abilities and agility. At the beginning and at the end of the pedagogical experiment, evaluation testing of coordination and motor qualities, static endurance and agility was carried out. Research results. Before the pedagogical experiment, the motor-coordination qualities and agility indicators' values of children in the control and experimental groups did not significantly differ. After the experiment, there was a significant increase in the indicators' values in the children of the experimental group in all motor coordination tests and in all tests for statokinetic stability and agility. The indicators' values increase in all tests in the children of the experimental group was significantly greater than in the children of the control one. At the end of the experiment, the children of the experimental group registered the greatest increase in the indicators' values in the tests for upper limb muscle strength and active flexibility, for coordination readiness and agility, the increase in static endurance time was greater than in the children of the control one. Conclusions. Table tennis equipment and the Bosu Balance Pod simulator use allowed us to expand the school PE program variable component sportization technology. In the children of the experimental group, the increase in the values of motor and coordination qualities, vestibular and static stability and agility is significantly higher than in the children of the control one, who were engaged in the traditional curriculum. We believe that school PE program variable component sportization technology testing was successful, this fact is confirmed by the positive results of children's of the experimental group survey.
