Differentiated correction of attention abilities of students with chronic diseases during physical education

Abstract

Purpose: To study experimentally the specifics of developing attention abilities of students with chronic diseases as affected by differentiated correction during physical education classes at a university. Material: During three academic years, the same students with chronic diseases participated in research into their attention abilities and the way they change under the influence of physical education. Results: An integrated final evaluation of the attention abilities parameters at the end of the experiment showed a tendency for the test results to improve. The students from the experimental group (EG) reached an average level. All indicators of the effectiveness of the proposed differentiated correction of the students’ attention abilities due to physical education showed that the EG students demonstrated better results than the students from the control group (CG). Differentiated correction of the physical education program resulted in a significantly (p<0.05 to <0.001) higher result than that obtained after using a traditional approach of organization, formation and implementation of the physical education content. It has been established that the state of attention abilities of students with chronic diseases is affected by the nature of these diseases, and, therefore, has its essential specifics. Conclusions: The peculiarities of manifestation of attenuation abilities established in the students with certain chronic diseases should be taken into account during their physical education. The use of systematic control of the psychological and physiological functions of students during physical education is the reason for the appropriate correction of pedagogical actions and improvement of physical education (PE) programs, which will help ensure effectiveness of PE..
