Efficiency of wrestling means use in physical education of students aged 15-16

Abstract

Physical education and physical preparation of high school students are implemented according to the education programs of secondary schools with using traditional methodological approaches and pedagogical conditions that are characterized by low efficiency in optimizing the physical condition. The targeted use of wrestling means among students aged 15-16 will not only promote this sport among the youth of Ukraine, but also contribute to the formation of a lasting interest in physical activity and physical development in general. The purpose is to determine the effectiveness of the wrestling means use in the physical education of students aged 15-16. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature data and empirical materials of scientific research (study of the development level of the physical education problem of students aged 15-16); pedagogical observation (clarification of anthropometry data, functional tests, physical and psychophysical preparedness of students aged 15-16); pedagogical experiment (determining the effectiveness of wrestling means in the program of physical culture students aged 15-16 years); methods of statistical processing (processing of empirical results at different stages of the study). Taking into account the basic principles of formation the program on physical culture of students aged 15-16 years, as well as the basic principles of physical education of this studied contingent, we have developed an author's program with an emphasis on the wrestling means use. Results. During the pedagogical experiment, students in the groups that participated in the study were able to improve their level of functionality, physical and psychophysiological preparedness. At the end of the school year, were engaged higher increases in functional capabilities at students who trained by the experimental program of physical culture. Nevertheless, statistically the intergroup advantage in favor of the experimental group was confirmed only in the Shtange test (p≤0.05). In students’ physical preparedness of experimental group there were pronounced changes in most indicators. Comparison of intergroup differences indicated the advantage of the experimental over the control group in all indicators of physical preparedness. These results were reliable in six out of ten tests (p≤0.05–0.001). At the end of the pedagogical experiment, a significant advantage was observed in favor of the experimental group for most psychophysiological indicators (p≤0.05–0.001), only in the results of the tapping test there was no statistical confirmation of intergroup differences.
