Development of flexibility of young men of 22-35 years old who are engaged in capoeira

Abstract

Taking into account a wide arsenal of means of physical training which are used during training sessions of capoeira, it can be referred to the list of the brightest and the most various types of martial arts. This greatly influences the choice of capoeira exercises by young Ukrainians as a means of physical education. Traditionally, one of the defining physical qualities on the way to mastering complex coordination exercises in capoeira is flexibility. The insufficient level of its development leads to a lack of technique. This negatively affects the motivation to train and the final result. Therefore, today, it is important to develop and implement a system of classes that promote the development of flexibility in the training process of capoeirists.
 The purpose of the study: to experimentally substantiate the system of flexibility development of men of the first mature age engaged in capoeira. Methods of the research. To achieve this goal we used the following methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature and documentary materials; pedagogical observation; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The research was conducted on the basis of the capoeira school "RABO DE ARRAIA" (Dnipro) with men aged 22-35 years. The results of a preliminary study of the level of flexibility development showed an average level of its development, as well as a level below average. Scientific novelty of the study. The system of development of flexibility of capoeiristas of 25-35 years old, with the predominant use of exercises: without an object, with an object and in pairs, was experimentally substantiated. Conclusions. The experimental system involved the performance of exercises without an object, with an object and in pairs, which alternated each training session; in the experimental group; after twelve weeks of training according to the author's system of flexibility development, a significant increase in all test indicators is observed.
