DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXIBILITY IN 9-10 YEARS-OLD HARD-HEARING SCHOOLCHILDREN ENGAGED IN AIR STRETCHING

Abstract

The article discusses the eff ectiveness of using a set of exercises, including stretching in hammocks or aerostretching, as an innovative way to correct fl exibility in hearing-impaired schoolchildren aged 9–10 years. Relevance. According to the World Health Organization for 2022, there are about 10% of hearing-impaired people in Russia, which is 14.6 mil-lion people, of which 220 thousand people are hearing-impaired. According to forecasts, by 2050 the number of people with hearing impairments will reach 900 million. The lack of auditory information worsens the perception of space, af-fects the violation of regulation and coordination of movements, reduces the indicators of general physical development, activity and dexterity. According to N. A. Bernstein, the most important task of education is physical improvement. The decrease in the child’s motor capabilities, confi dence in the successful execution of movements, is primarily associated with the development of fl exibility. Moreover, fl exibility is a favorable prerequisite for improving other psychological and speed-strength qualities. Evseev S. P., summarizing the available research, noted that in hard-of-hearing children, compared with their peers, fl exibility indicators are lower, which justifi es the goal: to develop a set of exercises aimed at developing fl exibility in hard-of-hearing schoolchildren 9–10 years old. Research methods: In the process of research, methods of scientifi c literature analysis, logical modeling, pedagogical experiment and methods of mathematical statis-tics. Conclusion. The data obtained as a result of the study prove the eff ectiveness of the use of aero stretching for the development of fl exibility in hearing-impaired schoolchildren. The introduction of a set of exercises in extracurricular stretching classes in hammocks for hearing-impaired children, allows to increase fl exibility, improve mobility of the shoulder, hip, ankle joints and spine.
