Study of the correlation between the indicators of psychophysiological functions and coordination preparedness of volleyball players (girls) at the age of 15-17

Abstract

Purpose: establish the peculiarities and degree of correlation between indicators of psychophysiological functions and coordination preparedness of volleyball players (girls) at the stage of specialized basic training. Material: the study involved 20 volleyball players (girls) at the age of 15-17. Results: the importance of improving the process of coordination preparation of volleyball players (girls) has been proved as a necessary condition for qualitative assimilation and effective use of the volleyball technique elements in the competitive activities. The significance of psychophysiological functions for the successful implementation of the process of coordinating the movements of players has been established. The relations of sensory-perceptual, mnemic, intellectual and sensomotor spheres with indicators of coordination abilities of of volleyball players (girls) at the age of 15-17 are presented. The average level of correlation between the integral index of coordination abilities of athletes and the ability to kinesthetic differentiations is revealed. Low and middle level correlations are recorded between the indicators of sensorimotor function of volleyball players (girls) and the ability to quickly manifest spatial orientation, coherence and rearrangement of motor activity, rhythm, and equilibrium. Reliable interrelation of the average level was found between the ability to coordinate movements and the integral index of psychophysiological functions. The indicator of intellectual abilities has a low and intermediate relationship with the ability to spatial orientation, balance, rhythm, consistency of movements. Significant relationship was found between the indicator of perceptual function and the ability to spatial orientation. Conclusions: high level of coordination abilities does not depend on one psychophysiological function. It is the result of a combination of all or most of them. A greater number of reliable interrelationships between coordination abilities and indicators of sensomotor and kinesthesia in comparison with other psychophysiological functions have been revealed. This testifies to their greater significance in the structure of coordination readiness of volleyball players (girls) at the stage of specialized basic training. Perceptual and intellectual indicators of psychophysiological functions are of greater significance in those motor tasks that are complex in terms of content and are manifested in unusual conditions for players.
