Development Of Coordination Abilities Research Articles

The influence of sports games on the Physical Fitness of first-year students

The article examines the level of Physical Fitness of 18-year-old female students of the first year of study, who in terms of health belong to the main medical group. At the beginning of the study, the level of development of speed, coordination abilities, flexibility and leg muscle strength of the girls was determined and a low level of Physical Fitness of the participants was revealed. Female students were divided into three levels of groups: the first – in the process of Physical Education, they used volleyball equipment, the second – basketball, and the third – footballl. After three months of classes, the test was repeated, which revealed the selective effect of sports games on various indicators of Physical Fitness. Namely, when using volleyball in classes, the biggest changes were observed in the indicators of the "leaning forward from a sitting position" test. In the group that used football equipment, the best dynamics were observed in the "shuttle run 4*9 m" test. We obtained the best positive changes in leg strength indicators (long jump from a standing test) in the group that used basketball equipment during Physical Education classes. Such selectivity of the impact of sports games on various Physical Qualities can be successfully used when purposefully used to solve the problems of increasing the Physical Fitness of female students.

Use of exercises with increased coordination complexity in the training process of young female volleyball players aged 13-14 years

Background and Study Aim. In the context of training young female volleyball players, understanding the criteria, extent, and impact of exercises with heightened coordination complexity becomes crucial. This study aims to determine the evaluation criteria, scope, and effects of incorporating exercises with elevated coordination demands on the specific athletic readiness of young female volleyball players aged 13–14 years. Material and Methods. The study involved female volleyball players aged 13–14 years (n=24) with an average of 4 years of professional experience. Participants were divided into a control group (n=12) and an experimental group (n=12). Prior to the study, both children and their parents were thoroughly informed about the research procedures, and parental consent was obtained for participation. The coordination exercises were categorized into five groups, each assigned a complexity rating from 1 to 5. The assessment utilized a battery of tests. Results. The findings reveal that coordination training yielded a more pronounced advancement in the development of various coordination abilities among female volleyball players in the experimental group, as compared to those in the control group. A statistically significant enhancement (p<0.05) was evident across all indices of coordination readiness within the experimental group. In contrast, the control group demonstrated notable progress only in 3 out of 10 instances (p<0.05). In the control group, noteworthy increases (p<0.05) were observed in spatial orientation, motor activity restructuring, and response indicators. Female volleyball players in the experimental group exhibited substantial improvement (p<0.05–0.001) across all indicators of technical readiness, including reception, attack hit, serve, and ball pass. Conversely, the control group players showed comparatively less remarkable changes in this aspect of readiness, with significant enhancement (p<0.05) identified in three parameters. Conclusions. The strategic incorporation of exercises with progressively heightened coordination demands emerges as a valuable approach in substantially enhancing the range of coordination abilities among young female volleyball players. Recognizing this factor provides the means to expedite and optimize the mastery of motor skills more effectively.

Определение эффективности комплексного теста для оценки координационных способностей у курсантов

The article addresses the problem of assessing the development of coordination abilities of cadets of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Undoubtedly, a great role is assigned to coordination abilities in the activities of a police officer. On a daily basis he has to perform a complex of various physical actions and their consentaneity determines the effectiveness of police service performance. Currently, a number of test tasks initiated by departmental orders and work program of the discipline «Physical Training» are used to analyze physical fitness of cadets. And only shuttle running is used to assess coordination abilities. The need to use other informative test tasks to assess coordination abilities is determined by the service performance requirements. To test the proposed method of assessment, 300 students of the Belgorod Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after I.D. Putilin were engaged. Basically, 5th year students took part in the study. In this regard, the aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a comprehensive test to assess the coordination abilities of cadets. As a result of the conducted research, a comprehensive way of assessing the coordination abilities of cadets was found. Validity assessment of the Gorelov Test showed a high correlation with a number of motor and computer tests for assessing cognitive abilities.

Study and Assessment of Motor Abilities of Older Children of Pre-school Age With Speech Disorders

Objectives: The urgency of the given study is in the lack of knowledge of various types of motor abilities of older pre-school children with speech disorders and the need to realize an individually differentiated approach to provide the environment for their development. In the current study, it was tried to identify and assess the level of development of motor abilities in older pre-school children with speech disorders. Methods: The study included 200 older pre-school children, 100 children with a healthy level of speech development, and 100 with a speech disorder in the Belgorod and Belgorod region (Russian Federation). The study looked at scientific sources using motor abilities testing (motor coordination, speed, strength, strength, plasticity, and stamina). Methods of mathematical statistics (student's t-test) using the SPSS software, version 26 were used to calculate the statistic problems. Results: The study and assessment of motor abilities of older pre-school children showed the predominance of an insufficient level of development of motor and coordination abilities in both neurotypical children and those with a language disorder. In both groups, children performed the worse left-hand task (the insufficient level was noted in children with speech disorders in 100% of boys and girls; in the group of children with a healthy level of speech development – in 84.1% of boys and 81.5 % of girls). When performing the right task hand, an insufficient level was noticed in children with speech disorders in 95.5% of boys and 96.4% of girls; in the group of children with a healthy level of speech development–in 77.3% of boys and 74.1% of girls. Diagnosis of other motor abilities states the dominance of the insufficient level only in children with speech disorders: strength abilities (70.5% of boys and 72.3% of girls), speed and strength abilities (68.2 % of boys and 67.9 % of girls), stamina (77.3% of boys and 75% of girls), and plasticity (65.9% of boys and 62.5% of girls). The veracity of the results was confirmed through the student's t-test. The observed differences were statistically significant. Discussion: The obtained findings and assessment of motor abilities confirm developmental lag in older pre-school children with speech disorders. In children, low indicators in the level of development of motor-coordination abilities and stamina prevailed.

Gender differences in the level and trainability of students' coordination abilities (САs) (review)

Background: Analysis and discussion of the studies of authors from different countries and their experimental data on the level and dynamics of development, gender differences, and trainability of different coordination abilities (CAs) in students aged from 18 to 24 years. Methods: The study involved freestyle wrestlers aged 10-13, 14-16, and 17-20 years (n = 127); male (n = 20) and female (n = 10) kickboxers, and male (n = 15) and female (n = 13) taekwondo fighters aged 18 to 27 years; Taekwondo students (n = 24); female (n = 95) and male (n = 65) first-year students of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Krakow aged 20.1 to 23.5 years. Results: It was found that compared to the somatic indicators and the level of development of abilities related to strength and conditioning (strength, speed, endurance), in which men aged 18-24 years showed significantly higher performance than women (by 10-20% or more), gender differences in the development of CAs are not manifested so obviously and unambiguously. Actually, the development of CAs at the age over 18–19 years without special targeted training and regular training sessions using coordination exercises stops in different sports; when using approximately the same targeted coordination training, approximately the same training potential of male and female students for the improvement of different CAs is observed. Conclusions: The level and rates of improvement of all CAs with age largely depend on the individual characteristics of the students, including their response to the same training load. With age, with an increase in the length of time spent in sports and an increase in performance, a decrease in sex differences in the level of most CAs is observed, which, most likely, can be explained by the similarity of neurophysiological and psychophysiological substrates and mechanisms underlying the optimal control and regulation of complex motor activities.

Effects of closed-skill bodyweight strength exercises on jumping skill in youth soccer players

Background: Participation in soccer training is beneficial for the development of energetic motor abilities and coordination abilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of closed-skill bodyweight resistance exercises which differ in their jumping movement structure, on jumping skills in youth soccer players. It was hypothesized that the examined exercises provide a better stimulus than soccer training for jumping development. Methods: Twenty-six young soccer players participated in the study. They were assigned to a strength training soccer group (SSG, n = 15) or a soccer group (SG, n = 11). The SSG realized a 9-week strength training in addition to soccer training. The following measurements were taken: countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJas), countermovement jump without arm swing (CMJ), an indicator of coordination of the upper limbs (CMJas – CMJ), and anaerobic power of CMJ (Pmax CMJ). Results: The obtained results showed similar improvements in jumping skills in both SSG and SG groups. Moreover, the results revealed a difference between both groups in pre- and post-training conditions for correlation coefficients observed between jumping variables. Conclusions: The strength exercises used in this study are not more beneficial for developing jumping skills than conventional soccer training among youth soccer players. Moreover, the strength training sessions should be based on a model of motor control in soccer players.

Integral development of coordination and cognitive abilities of young basketball players 6-7 years old

Purpose: to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the method of integral development of coordination and cognitive abilities of young basketball players 6-7 years old.Material and methods. The following research methods were used in the work: theoretical analysis of scientific special literature, methods of movement tests, methods of psychophysiological testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The developed method of integral development of coordination and cognitive abilities can be used during training in groups of initial basketball training.Results. In the experimental group, the increase in indicators was significant (p<0.05) according to the results of four tests out of five. Only in the test "sense of time (5 seconds), deviation s" the difference between the results before the experiment and after the experiment was not reliable (p>0.05). The difference between the test results of the control and experimental groups after the experiment turned out to be significant (p<0.05) in three out of five tests.Conclusions. The positive influence of the experimental method on the results of psychophysiological testing was revealed. In the experimental group, the time of PZMR decreased by 7.56% from 426.83 ± 38.55 ms to 394.58 ± 37.06 ms (р<0.05), the time of PZMR in the test "Choosing two elements from three" - by 8.42% from 529.33 ± 45.17 ms to 484.75 ± 47.86 ms (p<0.05). The result in the "Selection of a point in space" test improved by 8.02% from 21.83 ± 1.95 to 23.58 ± 1.93 (р<0.05). The number of errors during tests has decreased. If these changes were found to be unreliable when performing the test for PMSMR (p>0.05), then the number of errors during the performance of the test "Choosing two elements out of three" decreased by 18.2% from 5.5 ± 1 to 4.5 ± 0 .9 errors (p<0.05). In the control group, the increase in all indicators was found to be unreliable (p>0.05).

The influence of sports on student's motoric coordination and concentration

This study aimed to examine the effect of sports activity on motor coordination and focus in university students. A cohort of 120 students representing diverse study programs was divided into two groups: a sports group of students engaged in regular sports activities and a non-sports group of students who did not participate. Motor coordination tests were administered to evaluate the participants' proficiency in synchronizing hand and foot movements, and the results showed that the sports group exhibited significantly superior motor coordination compared to the non-sports group. Concentration tests evaluated the participant's ability to focus and solve problems. The findings of this study emphasize the relevance of including sports in students' routines to support the development of motor coordination abilities and improve cognitive functioning. Further research is recommended to delve into the underlying mechanisms through which sports participation influences motor coordination and concentration and identify optimal types and durations of sports activities for maximizing the benefits of motor coordination and engagement in students. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that sports participation positively influences motor coordination and concentration among university students. The findings support the importance of promoting sports involvement in educational settings to enhance students' motor skills, cognitive abilities, and overall well-being.

DEVELOPMENT OF COORDINATION ABILITIES IN 6-10 YEARS OLD BOYS WITH POSTURAL DISORDERS.

The aim: To develop, substantiate and experimentally test the methodology for the development of coordination abilities in 6-10 years old boys with postural disorders during their physical education training sessions. Materials and methods: The experimental (EG) and the control groups (CG) were formed to organize the pedagogical experiment. The EG included 17 boys and the CG consisted of 19 boys. The EG was engaged in sports activities according the developed methodology and the CG followed the current school curricula on physical education. Results: The methodology for the development of coordination abilities in 6-10 years old boys with postural disorders in the process of their physical education has been developed. Its peculiarity lies in the accentuated influence on the vestibular, motor and visual analyzers with the help of a system of exercises aimed at controlling movements in space in static positions and during movement. Conclusions: The obtained results testify to the effectiveness of the developed methodology. The EG boys had significantly higher indicators of static balance and coordination abilities at body position change, as well as general coordination of movements (p ≤ 0.05) at the end of the academic year than those of the CG. In addition, the number of 6-10 years old boys with various postural disorders decreased by 7.4 % (from 26.8 % to 19.4 %).

Development of coordination abilities of fencers aged 10-12 years living in the territory of martial law

Background and purpose. Success in sports activities is determined by various criteria, among which the level of development of coordination abilities stands out. The initial stage of training young athletes is important for the development of coordination abilities. At the same time, the martial law in the territory of residence of the athletes entails the need to ensure the safety conditions of life. Forced relocation of young athletes to safer places of residence presents coaches and parents with other training conditions. The purpose of the research is to identify opportunities for the development of special coordination abilities of young fencers aged 10-12 years in crisis situations caused by martial law. Material and methods. Young fencers (n=16, age – 10-12 years, Kharkiv, Ukraine) took part in the study. The participants were divided into 2 groups – the experimental group (EG, n=8) and the control group (CG, n=8). The selection of groups took place depending on the possibility of compact accommodation of at least 8 athletes in one place and the possibility of training. The groups studied three times a week for 3 hours. The control group studied according to the standard program of the fencing department of the sports school. The experimental group studied according to the author’s program. The study lasted 6 months. Parents gave their consent for their children to participate in the experiment. Results. The extremely difficult conditions of conducting the research had a significant impact on the result. The effectiveness of the developed program for improving the level of coordination abilities of 10-12-year-old fencers has been proven. At the end of the study, positive changes occurred in both groups. Conclusions. It is recommended to use video media of communication to correct plans for preparing and performing tests. The focus of the training program for athletes should be focused on increasing the amount of load that can be performed at home. Ensuring safety conditions for young athletes and coaches is a mandatory condition for training.

Physical fitness of young Greco-Roman athletes under the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic

Background and Study Aim. The physical training of young athletes is the basis for future success in competitions. Its effectiveness depends on many factors, among which safe conditions for life support stand out. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are significant restrictions on the training of young athletes. The aim of the study is the physical training of young Greco-Roman wrestlers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Material and Methods. The study involved young athletes (boys, n=20, age 5-7 years (Kharkiv, Ukraine). The experimental group of initial training (n=10) consisted of young athletes of the first year of study (children's sports school). The control group (n=10) consisted of children in the first year of primary school education. The study was conducted for 12 weeks. At the beginning and at the end of the study, a final testing of the level of physical fitness of boys was carried out. Tests were used to determine strength abilities, speed-strength abilities, coordination readiness and flexibility development. The study included all students whose parents agreed to participate in the study. This study was conducted by the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Ethics Committee of University.
 Results. Positive changes in the experimental group were observed in tests characterizing the level of development of coordination abilities. During repeated testing, the experimental group was much better oriented in space when performing three rolls. This was manifested in a reduction in the time of their implementation (t=4.091; р˂0.001) and a longer balance in static conditions (t=4.11; р˂0.01). In tests for the manifestation of strength and coordination abilities, there is a tendency to positive changes. However, there was no confirmation of a likely difference between pre-test and post-test (p>0.05). In tests for flexibility, the result remained almost unchanged and even deteriorated slightly. There were very slight positive changes in other studied indicators.
 Conclusions. For the formation of basic physical fitness, it is effective to provide a greater variety of training means and to maximize the focus on the game method of training. The process of training wrestlers of this age should be directed mainly to the development of coordination abilities.

Development of coordination abilities in children aged 10-11 years engaged in rowing

Currently, sports training is a pedagogical process of physical education by means specific to a particular sport, aimed at achieving the physical and spiritual perfection of an athlete and high sportsmanship. The training process in rowing is no exception. Sports training in rowing is aimed at developing the physical qualities of athletes and consists of general and special physical training of rowers during training sessions and competitions. One of the most important components of the physical training of rowing athletes is the level of development of coordination abilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to increase the level of development of coordination abilities in children aged 10-11 years engaged in rowing.

Age dynamics of development of coordination abilities of primary school students

The article analyzes the indicators of the development of coordination abilities of pupils in grades 2-3, which, on average, correspond to the "average" level. The comparison of data in the age and gender aspect shows, mainly, a significant increase in indicators with age and the dominance of boys' results over girls' data. The analysis of secondary indicators indicates a significant increase in the results at the end of the year, which resulted in the overall level of development of coordination abilities increased to "below average".
 Most of the data obtained during the experiment show a significant increase in the level of coordination abilities (P<0.05) in boys and girls of 2nd and 3rd grades. But we see that in some coordination exercises indicators are lower than average level of norms, so we can conclude that little attention is paid to development of these qualities. This suggests that in the process of education little attention is paid to the development of these qualities.
 It is necessary to develop more differentiated methods of physical education of primary school children to improve some of the results of tests of coordination abilities. Children with low scores should be offered to attend some sections with a physical inclination and be guided to improve their personal performance.

The purpose of the study was to determine the age-specific features of the motor fitness of girls aged 7 to 9.
 Materials and methods. The study participants were 27 girls aged 7, 40 girls aged 8, and 35 girls aged 9. The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. The study used such research methods as analysis of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observations, motor fitness testing, a probabilistic approach to the assessment of the learning process, and methods of mathematical statistics.
 Results. The level of proficiency in gymnastic exercises, the level of development of coordination abilities, endurance and speed strength are those indicators that can be used to assess the motor fitness of girls aged 7 to 9. Attention is drawn to the fact that the level of proficiency in exercises is a key element in the motor fitness of girls. The obtained discriminant functions have statistical significance both in the classification of data and in the determination of the structural features of the motor fitness of girls aged 7 to 9.
 Conclusions. The standardized and structure coefficients of the discriminant function indicate that the most important indicators in the motor fitness of girls aged 7 to 9 are the level of general endurance, coordination of movements, relative arm strength and the level of proficiency in gymnastic exercises.

Material and methods. 8 taekwondo athletes aged 13-14 (4th year of training) participated in the study. To implement the tasks of our research, the following methods were used: to establish the relevance of the topic and select appropriate tests, an analysis of scientific and methodical literature was conducted; to determine balance indicators, Romberg's test was performed on the right and left leg, with eyes open and closed, and a test according to the Yarotskiy method; in order to check the effectiveness of exercises on an unstable support, a pedagogical study was organized and the obtained indicators were analyzed by methods of statistical information processing. Pedagogical testing was conducted remotely through the zoom virtual conference platform for each individual athlete in a separate conference session. Results: indicators of balance development of taekwondo players aged 13-14 have been established at a sufficient level. There was no difference between the performance of balance test exercises on the left and right leg in athletes (at p˃0,05). Performance indicators of the Romberg test while standing on one leg with eyes open are significantly higher than performance of this task with eyes closed (at p˂0,01). After the conducted pedagogical study, the balance indicators of young athletes in almost all test exercises underwent positive changes: the performance indicators of the Romberg test on the right and left leg with open eyes improved by 10,1 % and 7,6 %, respectively (at p˂0,05); with eyes closed improved by 11,6 % when performing the test on the right leg and by 14 % on the left leg (at p˂0,05). The results of the Yarotskiy test in our study had an improvement of 10,8 %, but did not have reliability (at p˃0,05) Conclusions. The suggested exercises of an imitative nature, which are performed on a non-sticky support, have a positive effect on the development of coordination abilities of taekwondo players, in particular, balance. Keywords: taekwondo player, coordination, balance, development, sports training, unstable support.

Methods of developing the ability to control temporal, spatial and force parameters of movements in children of older preschool age

In the process of physical education of preschool children, special attention should be paid to the purposeful development of coordination abilities. The level of development of coordination abilities, like any physical quality, largely depends on the manifestation of the properties of the nervous system and especially the sensory systems of a person. Preschool age is favorable for the development of a wide range of coordination abilities, so their purposeful development should begin precisely at preschool age. Only in this case, it is possible to ensure the necessary and general physical fitness of children. The article is devoted to the issue of improving the level of development of the abilities of older preschool children to manage temporal, spatial and force parameters of movements. The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of experimental methods of physical tasks on the performance of older preschool children. During the pedagogical experiment, experimental and control groups were created. Boys and girls aged 5 and 6 were involved in the study, respectively 20 children in each group. The control group was engaged in physical education classes according to the educational program of the preschool educational institution, and the children who were included in the experimental group were engaged in the method of the program, which is based on the use of exercises to increase the level of coordination abilities. In the course of the study, the level of coordination, namely the children's ability to control the temporal, spatial and force parameters of movements, to the experiment, and the increase in the indicators of the experimental and control groups was determined. The experimental technique of special physical training of children of older preschool age for the development of abilities to manage temporal, spatial and force parameters of movements had a positive effect on the general level of physical condition of children and on the improvement of children's coordination abilities.
