ВЛИЯНИЕ ЗАНЯТИЙ ОЗДОРОВИТЕЛЬНЫМ УШУ НА УРОВЕНЬ АГРЕССИВНОСТИ ПОДРОСТКОВ

Abstract

Psychological and pedagogical practice increasingly frequently deals with the problem of educating aggressive adolescents. A teenager experiences many stresses and, as a result of changes in the central nervous system, changes occur in mental processes, which, in combination with factors affecting the social environment, contributes to the emergence of aggressive behavior. Teenagers who play sports are more restrained and disciplined. The survey sample involved young men aged 13 to 15 years who had not previously engaged in wushu. To measure the average aggression indicators of survivors, the authors carried out tests using the questionnaire of L.G. Pochebut and the Bas-Perry aggressiveness questionnaire at the beginning and the end of the experiment. The selected adolescents practiced wushu three times a week for one hour a day for eight months. Within the experimental wushu complex, the instructors used cyclic exercises, basic stream energetic exercises, jumps, sparring, breathing, and recreational Chinese gymnastics affecting the harmonization of psycho-emotional processes. Exercises helped to relieve muscle tonus and develop self-control skills. The authors used both contact combat techniques and non-contact techniques – individual and recovery. The study showed that regular classes in recreational wushu had a positive effect on the survivors and their average levels of aggression decreased. Exercising recreational wushu in a group of tested adolescents generally contributed to psycho-emotional tension removal through an energy splash with the help of physical activity and other meditative techniques.
