Методические подходы к совершенствованию подвижности тазобедренных суставов у студенток высших учебных заведений

Abstract

Introduction. The statistics revealed during the literature analysis indicates the wide-spread of joint diseases worldwide, including hip diseases, and all human motor activity depends on the hip functioning. Limited mobility in the joint is caused by a sedentary lifestyle and the absence of movements with involved hip joint. The practice of conducting recreational aerobics classes with female students has shown the lack of girls’ proper attention to the mobility problem in the hip joints. Methods. 200 female students of 1–4 courses of Derzhavin Tambov State University, engaged in recreational aerobics, took part in the study of hip joint mobility. The study used tests to assess the degree of hip joint opening and to identify the presence of asymmetry when the legs are pulled to the sides. Results. There is a unidirectional tendency in the ability to perform motor action with the maximum amplitude of movement in the hip joints of female students of 1–4 courses. The thighs of the students open in the same way; there is no asymmetry between the right and left legs when opening. Conclusions. The study helped to draw up an overall balance and identify trends in the development of hip joint mobility in girls, to understand the causes leading to pelvic displacement and limited hip flexion amplitude, to expand the understanding of methods for assessing hip joint mobility and tests for detecting asymmetry when the legs are pulled to the sides.
