Abstract

The article reveals perspectives on sports games aimed at physical development and development of coordination skills of adolescents. Physical exercise has a positive effect on such psychological properties of students as memory, thinking, attention, speed and accuracy of reactions, logic, perception of motoric of one’s own body and the sense of external space. The basic statement of neuropsychology that the basic intelligence of a person being physical intelligence is revealed. Development of coordination skills is an important qualitative aspect of motor activity, reflecting the level of physical fitness. Purposeful formation of coordination abilities enables to solve a number of problems of physical, aesthetic and intellectual improvement of adolescent students. The use of sports games in the process of physical education promotes a favourable development of motor coordination, and thus helps increase the level of motor readiness of adolescents during sports activities, as well as provides the highest efficiency in the process of physical development.

Highlights

In modern conditions, there is a growing interest in such human qualities as the ability to quickly navigate in space, respond quickly to signals of external environment, finely differentiate one’s muscular sensations and regulate the degree of muscle tension
The results show that control over body size and body shape, coordination exercises and early development benefit children in performing tasks related to physical fitness and motor activity
The analysis of the problem shows that all the criteria for assessing coordination skills are complex and ambiguous

Summary

Introduction

There is a growing interest in such human qualities as the ability to quickly navigate in space, respond quickly to signals of external environment, finely differentiate one’s muscular sensations and regulate the degree of muscle tension. Neuropsychology believes that the basic intelligence of human is physical intelligence It begins to form in a child at its early motor development, its biorhythms, respiratory processes, the moment of birth and in the first year of life. For effective grip with the hand, one needs a sense of size, relief and grip angle This will further serve to develop the tone of fine motor skills, which affects the function of speech. Aerobic load during intense training contributes to further coordinated work of the processes of excitation and inhibition of brain cells This type of load stimulates and develops a relatively constant level of concentration, distribution and switching of attention, as well as stable memorization of information. Modern physical education is traditionally considered only as a means of optimizing the physical status of an individual, which, as a rule, is reduced only to formation of motor ability, normalisation of the younger generation through intellectual and socio-psychological development, which limits the possibility of holistic personality formation (Pasichnyk et al, 2015)
