THE IMPACT OF USING SMART WATCHES ON STUDENTS’ EFFORT CAPACITY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

The increasing use of smartwatch technology among university students has raised questions about its potential impact on physical health and effort capacity. This study aims to evaluate the influence of smartwatch usage on the physical performance and effort capacity of students, focusing on those who utilize these devices for monitoring physical activity and health functions. In this comparative study, we employed a questionnaire to assess the adoption and usage patterns of smartwatches among students. The research sample was divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Both groups participated in weekly aerobic gymnastics classes. However, the experimental group, equipped with smartwatches, was tasked with achieving a daily goal of 13,000-15,000 steps or expending 600 kcal. At the conclusion of the experiment, we evaluated the exercise capacity of all students using the Ruffier and Harvard tests. The results revealed significant differences between the two groups, with the experimental group demonstrating notably higher effort capacity. This suggests that the regular use of smartwatches, combined with specific fitness targets, can enhance physical performance and overall health among students. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of integrating wearable technology into student lifestyles, particularly in promoting physical activity and improving exercise capacity. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the impact of smartwatches on health and fitness, highlighting their role as valuable tools for monitoring and enhancing physical performance in an academic setting. In conclusion, smartwatches can be useful tools for students, but they must be used with discernment. It is important to strike a balance between the benefits and distractions these devices bring. Students' effort capacity may be influenced by how they integrate smartwatches into their daily routine.

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECT OF TWO REHABILITATION PROGRAMS ON SPINAL MOBILITY AND PAIN INTENSITY IN PATIENTS WITH SPINAL DISCOPATHY

Introduction. Approximately 80% of people experience back pain throughout their lives. A common problem of patients with low back pain is a significant limitation of mobility. Rehabilitation programs are usually recommended. Programs should include exercises that build flexibility, endurance, and strength. Kinesiotherapy is complemented by physiotherapy procedures, which are mainly aimed at analgesic and relaxing effects.
 The aim of the study was to compare the effect of two rehabilitation programs that differ in the type of kinesiotherapy on the mobility of the lumbar spine and the level of pain intensity in people with L5-S1 segment discopathy.
 Materials and methods. The study involved 30 patients undergoing 14 days of rehabilitation treatment. The criterion for dividing the subjects into groups was the method of kinesitherapy. The first group (Gr1) consisted of 15 patients who did gymnastics in the pool twice a day, and the second group (Gr2) consisted of 15 patients who attended therapeutic gymnastics classes in the gym twice a day. The exercises were aimed at improving the range of motion of the spine, strength and endurance of postural muscles. A visual analog scale was used to assess the intensity of pain. The distance between standard anthropometric points in the resting position and in the extreme position of movement was measured to assess the range of spinal movements.
 Results. After rehabilitation, the amplitude of movements of the lumbar spine increased in most patients. In Gr1, an increase in the range of forward spinal flexion by 9.2 cm (p = 0.001), rotation to the right by 0.63 cm (p = 0.03), and to the left by 1.33 cm (p = 0.007) was detected. In Gr2, the range of forward flexion increased by 12.6 cm (p = 0.005), left rotation by 0.94 cm (p = 0.035), and right flexion by 1.41 cm (p = 0.002). In the case of other movements, no statistically significant changes were found.
 In Gr1, the average pain intensity according to the VAS was 4.9 ± 2.3 points before the start of the physiotherapy program and 3.6 ± 1.7 points after its completion (p = 0.04). In Gr2, the VAS values were 5.1 ± 2.5 points and 3.9 ± 1.8 points, respectively (p = 0.03). The magnitude of changes in pain intensity was similar (-1.3 points and -1.2 points) for both programs.
 Conclusions. 1. The applied rehabilitation programs increased the mobility of the lumbar spine and reduced pain in patients with L5-S1 segment discopathy. 2. Both the hydrokinesitherapy program and the gym program were equally effective in increasing the range of motion of the spine and reducing the intensity of pain.

Experience in the use of cryotherapy in patients after total replacement

BACKGROUND: All over the world, total joint replacement is one of the most popular surgical technologies due to the widespread prevalence of joint diseases, as well as injuries. There is no doubt that rehabilitation is a necessary component of the complex treatment of the patient and plays an important role in the postoperative period. Physiotherapeutic methods of treatment occupy a special place in rehabilitation programs. Cryotherapy has been used for many years in the pathology of the musculoskeletal system and has proven its clinical effectiveness due to analgesic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant effects, which gives grounds for its use after surgical interventions.
 AIM: Based on the above, the purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness and rationale for the use of cryotherapy in combination with therapeutic gymnastics procedures in patients after total knee replacement for the third the rehabilitation stage.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 patients after total knee replacement at the age of 57 to 79 years. All patients were admitted for outpatient treatment 3 months after surgery and were divided into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 30 patients who had therapeutic gymnastics classes with a physical therapy instructor (physical therapy), for a course of 10 daily procedures. The second group consisted of 30 patients who underwent a comprehensive rehabilitation program, including therapeutic gymnastics and air cryotherapy, for a course of 10 daily procedures.
 RESULTS: In all patients, before the start of the rehabilitation course, the intensity of the pain syndrome according to VAS averaged 4.5±0.6 points; according to the 10-meter walking test, a decrease in the level of mobility was detected, in most patients, the sum of the points on the two parts of the KSS scale averaged 62.8±4.5; according to the results of laser Doppler flowmetry, 44% of the subjects revealed spastic, and in 56% ― spastic-stagnant type of microcirculation. After a course of complex rehabilitation treatment, a significantly more significant reduction in pain syndrome (according to VAS) and microcirculatory disorders (according to laser Doppler flowmetry), improvement in the function of the operated joint (according to the KSS scale) was revealed, compared with the use of physical therapy as a monomethod, which contributed to an increase in the level of mobility of patients.
 CONCLUSION: The combined use of air cryotherapy and therapeutic gymnastics in patients after total knee replacement contributes to the formation of pronounced analgesic, anti-inflammatory and vasocorrecting effects, which allowed to increase the effectiveness of treatment at the 3rd stage of rehabilitation treatment.

Itinerários de Ludvig Kumlien e a divulgação da ginástica sueca na França (1895-1921)

ABSTRACT Swedish gymnastics was among the proposals for physical education present in Europe during the 19th century, which spread through different mediating agents. The Swede Ludvig Gideon Kumlien was one of the persons involved in this process. Kumlien’s activities for disseminating Swedish gymnastics in France, mainly in Paris between 1895 and 1921, were analyzed for this paper. The sources used include newspapers, magazines and manuals from physical and digital collections. The conclusion herein is that Kumlien assumed multiple roles in the popularization of Swedish gymnastics. He made his gymnastics known, in and outside of France, via print media and translated into manuals, taught and practiced in his gymnastic classes and exhibitions.

Motivating students to do athletic gymnastics

The article is devoted to the problem of motivating students to engage in physical education at the university. The article presents the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the organization of athletic gymnastics classes, which contribute to increasing the motivation of students. To assess the effectiveness of the means and methods of pedagogical influence, a student questionnaire was used. 45 students of the Ural Federal University took part in the study. The results of the study revealed that when motivating students, it is necessary to use not only techniques and methods aimed at strengthening external motivation, but to a greater extent internal motivation. The development of students' internal motivation for classes ensures an increase in academic performance, a steady and significant increase in strength indicators in test exercises with a barbell, as well as commitment to athletic gymnastics not only during their studies at the university, but also in the future.

Methodical Aspects of Composing Complexes of Recreational Gymnastics for Students of 5–9 Grades on the Basis of Differentiated Approach

The article deals with the necessity of a differentiated approach in the construction of recreational gymnastics classes with students of 5–9 grades with different types of constitution. On the basis of computer vision technology “CV-Trainer” and additional examination the very low number of children with muscular type of constitution among both boys and girls is revealed. Differences in the angles of flexion and extension in the hip joints of girls of asthenoid-thoracic and digestive types at maximum load on key points of the body were shown. It is also noted that the force of impact on these key points is higher in digestive type girls. Therefore, we do not consider the averaged approach to conducting recreational gymnastics appropriate. Theoretical and methodical bases of composing complexes of health-improving gymnastics taking into account age periods and type of constitution are also emphasized. The logic of construction of the system of health-improving gymnastics classes should proceed from general organizational provisions, selection of methods of work, exercises themselves, indication of dosage of their performance.

Unveiling cognitive aspects and accuracy of diagnostic judgments in physical education teachers assessing different tasks in gymnastics

IntroductionDiagnostics is an essential part of teachers’ profession. We investigated judgment accuracy and cognitive processes underlying judgment formation in physical education teachers who observed tasks in gymnastics, and compared teachers with gymnastics trainers as a reference group.MethodsTeachers and trainers judged performance of prepuberal students in gymnastics, namely students exercising squat vault, underswing, and handstand. To investigate cognitive processes of judgment formation, participants were asked to structure the movements via event segmentation as well as to explain their judgments. All teachers and trainers had experience in working with prepuberal children similar to those they observed in this experiment, and the teachers completed a gymnastics class during their studies.ResultsJudgment accuracy (with reference to judgments made by expert trainers) was found to be significantly lower in teachers compared to trainers (p < 0.001). Moreover, agreement on the ratings among teachers was lower than among trainers. Agreement about the temporal structuring of the tasks from event segmentation was lower among teachers than among trainers (p < 0.05). When explaining their ratings, trainers referred more often than teachers to kinematic features of the task that were relevant to the judgments.DiscussionWe discuss these findings in context of the teachers’ task to perform accurate judgments. For suggestions on teacher training, we particularly emphasize the relevance of implementing knowledge about kinematic features of the tasks and student errors into real-life scenarios resembling the complex skill of making accurate judgments in the physical education classroom.

Prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases among medical university students

An online survey of students of higher educational institutions was conducted to study the spread of smoking, obesity, physical inactivity. A comparison was made between students of medical and non-medical universities. It was revealed that 21% of physicians smoke, 47% of non– medical students. Among medical university students, 18% were overweight, and 75% were irrational eating with fast food consumption. Irrational nutrition (insufficient or excessive nutrition) was also common among students. The number of students engaged in sports sections or having a subscription to fitness clubs, respectively, was 11% and 23%. The percentage of students with low physical activity in medical and non-medical universities did not have a statistically significant difference and was less than 20%. The most popular classes that evoked positive emotions among students were sports games: volleyball, basketball, badminton. The girls positively assessed gymnastics classes. Among the factors influencing motivation to study in sports sections, the possibility of improving sports skills and participation in competitions was indicated. Students expressed satisfaction with classes in health groups, the program of which took into account the individual characteristics and capabilities of the individual. Physical inactivity and poor nutrition are related behaviors that affect health and well – being, as well as maintaining a healthy weight. The results of the study showed the need for comprehensive measures to increase the motivation of medical university students to a healthy lifestyle.

The collection technique used body image scales and exercise motivation. This study uses a simple linear regression test analysis technique. Based on the results of data analysis, there is an influence of exercise motivation on body image. The contribution value of exercise motivation with body image is 21.5%. There is still a 78.5% influence from other factors related to body image that is not involved in this study, so it can be concluded that there is a very significant influence between exercise motivation on body image in middle-aged women at Mahkota Gym Prabumulih

Correction of the Physical Condition of Children 5-6 Years Old Who Are Engaged Gymnastics In Sports Shools

The article deals with the assessment of physical development and level of physical fitness of children 5-6 years’ old who are engaged in gymnastics in sports schools with the analysis of physiometric measurements, in particular: vital capacity of the lungs, dynamometry, respiratory rate and heart rate, as well as a detailed analysis of the level of physical fitness with the help of pedagogical testing.
 During the research, theoretical analysis was used, namely the analysis and generalization of literary sources, systematization, comparison of different views on the problem under study, content analysis of textbooks for the purpose of studying the theoretical and methodical foundations of physical education of sports school students, methods of determining anthropometric data and methods of mathematical statistics and data processing, as well as pedagogical testing methods.
 The results of the assessment of children's physical capacity allowed us to conclude that in most people it corresponds to the average level, and in a third of children, small functional reserves were found. The indicators of vital capacity of the lungs also corresponded to the average statistical indicators, аnalyzing the obtained data regarding the development of physical qualities, it can be proven that almost all test indicators that characterize the physical fitness of children are at low and below average levels. In none of the tests did the children demonstrate a high level, the analysis of individual results of assessing the level of physical fitness of children 5-6 years old shows that 40.7% of the subjects have an average level of physical fitness, 14.8% have an above average level, 25.9% of children have a below average level, 18.5% have a low level % of people. Therefore, we selected 120 children (44.4%) with low and below average levels of physical fitness to conduct recreational gymnastics classes with them according to the author's program.
 The results of our research proved that most of the indicators of physical development and functional state of children 5-6 years old who do gymnastics in sports schools correspond to the age norm, however, the analysis of individual results of assessing the level of physical fitness of 5-6-year-old children shows that 40.7% of the subjects have an average level of physical fitness, 14.8% have an above average level, 25.9% of children have a below average level, 18% have a low level, 5% of people

Physical Activity, Public Policy, Health Promotion, Sociability and Leisure: A Study on Gymnastics Groups in a Brazilian City Hall.

The present study analyzed a gymnastics program offered by the Department of Sports and Leisure at a Brazilian city hall, representing an example of an effective and consolidated public policy. The objective of this study was to understand the reasons for enrollment/joining (adhesion) and permanence (adherence) among female students in gymnastics groups in order to understand why this public policy has been taking place uninterruptedly for over thirty years and to characterize the quality of life of female gymnastics students. This is a case study that used mixed methods. As a quantitative method, the Portuguese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-bref) questionnaire was used. As a qualitative method, the focus group technique was used. Thus, 239 women aged between thirty-five and seventy-four years old, who were students of the gymnastics program, participated in this research by answering the WHOQOL-bref questionnaire. Two classes were selected using the socioeconomic criterion of social classes in inverse situations to carry out one focus group session; then, twenty students belonging to the two classes were randomly selected. It was verified that the public policy studied has led to an improvement in the quality of life of the students, with the benefits extending beyond physical health, and that in both groups adhesion occurred mainly due to the indication of students who already practiced, or due to medical indications. It was also found that, in both groups, the main reason for long-term adherence was the understanding of the gymnastics class as a space for sociability and a moment of leisure. Physical activity is an important health promotion strategy. In addition to its biological benefits, which are necessary for the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, it also improves health and quality of life through social and psychological benefits, characterizing it as an effective health care strategy from a biopsychosocial perspective.

From Balls and Hoops to Coconuts and Tambourines: Protagonisms and Paradoxes of European Coach Ilona Peuker on Brazilian Floors

This research analyzes the role of the Hungarian immigrant coach Ilona Peuker as a protagonist in the development of Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG), also called Modern Gymnastics, in Brazil (1953 to 1995), especially regarding her role as a gymnastics coach, coach developer and in the establishment of relationships between European and Brazilian cultures. We draw on oral histories conducted as part of two studies by the authors and documentary research based on Ilona’s website and the personal collection of the interviewees. We identify that she had a fundamental role for the introduction, dissemination, and international projection of the Brazilian RG, teaching gymnastics classes at the university, and courses in different regions of Brazil, in addition to coaching athletes and coaches of RG of international projection. Her legacy in this sport still echoes today, not only in RG routines but also in Gymnastics for All choreographies, with a paradoxical and multicultural protagonism, evidenced in her choice to use elements of Brazilian culture to develop the rhythm and to compose the choreographies, such as tambourines (typical of samba beat) and dried coconuts (typical of tropical plant life) - an original style that enchanted audiences in Brazil and Europe due to the ‘Brazilness’ in Gymnastics.

FEATURES OF ORGANIZING ACTIVE RECREATION IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION BY MEANS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the organization of active recreation in institutions of higher education by means of physical education. In the realities of our time, active recreation of students is important and has a positive effect on the body of those who are engaged. After all, the motor activity of students has noticeably decreased due to a number of reasons. Active introduction of sports and physical culture and health facilities into the daily routine (morning hygienic gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, football, boating, walks to the forest) 70-90% of those who practice improve their well-being. Therefore, it is important to pay more attention and work to the organization of active recreation of student youth in order to prevent hypodynamia.
 Recreational facilities of Ukraine have already accumulated considerable work experience, which, confirming the conclusions of scientists, provides rich practical material. Important are the conclusions that staying in physical culture and health camps significantly increases vacationers' interest in physical culture. Summer and winter holidays have become traditional in recreation facilities. their programs are meaningful and interesting, filled with sports competitions, fun rides, sportsmanship demonstrations, social gatherings for sports games, rowing, and more. The means of therapeutic gymnastics are: structural exercises, types of movements and dance steps, exercises for general development with and without objects, exercises on the gymnastic wall, bench, with a rope, on special devices, applied exercises; special balance and breathing exercises, coordination, stretching, corrective exercises, etc.
 When choosing exercises for classes, take into account the nature of the disease, physical fitness, gender and age of the vacationers. Therapeutic gymnastics classes are individual and group. They are conducted according to the generally accepted scheme, which consists of preparatory, main and final parts. Games occupy a significant place in the system of physical education. One of their varieties is mobile games.

Особенности начала соревновательной деятельности взрослых спортсменок, занимающихся художественной гимнастикой на любительском уровне

The authors studied main peculiarities of rhythmic gymnastics for adult amateurs: the reasons of appearance, the age of athletes, types of organisations, offering rhythmic gymnastics classes for this population group, and peculiarities of competitions. Relevance of the research is explained by the following circumstances. Thanks to the development of amateur rhythmic gymnastics, indicators of the physical culture and sports development in the Russian Federation may improve. Thus, within the Strategy of the development of physical culture and sports in the Russian Federation by 2030 (the Strategy 2030), indicators on the level of involvement of young and middle-aged people in the field of physical culture and sports currently comprises 83.9% in the age group from 3 to 29 years and 28.9% in the age group from 30 to 55 years for women. By 2030, the planned values for this indicator are set at the level of 90% and 70%, respectively. So, thanks to the development of amateur sports as a whole and of rhythmic gymnastics for amateurs, in particular, the share of the population systematically engaged in physical culture and sports will increase. It is also necessary to mention that nowadays popularity of rhythmic gymnastics among adult population is constantly growing, as this sport gives athletes an opportunity to realise their needs both in physical activity and in achieving sports results. The scientific challenge lies in the following contradiction: on the one hand, there is an increase in the number of amateur rhythmic gymnasts, who attend trainings and take part in competitions, on the other hand, nowadays a question concerning the specifics of the organisation of training process for amateur rhythmic gymnasts, including preparation for competitions, has not been developed yet. Research hypothesis: it was supposed that the conducted research would allow coaches who train amateur gymnasts to get a clearer idea of the possible problems that athletes can face during their preparation for competitions, and thereby enable them to optimise the training process of the above-mentioned athletes. The key goal of the research was to reveal the special aspects of competitive activity of adult amateurs, who do rhythmic gymnastics. The authors conducted the research in Graal rhythmic gymnastics sport club. As a result of the conducted research, the key aspects and problems of the beginning of competitive activity, which are typical for adult amateur rhythmic gymnasts, were identified. In the course of the research, surveys among amateur gymnasts on the reasons that encouraged them to start performing at competitions, as well as motivating factors for doing rhythmic gymnastics, were conducted. The results of this research allow recommending these theoretical and practical materials for the specialists, who work in the sphere of physical culture and sports, and for organisations, who implement trainings for amateur athletes.

Experimental verification of the effectiveness of implementing a differentiated approach in training future physical education teachers

The effective training of future specialists in physical culture and sports necessitates a comprehensive system of specialized knowledge, which forms a crucial part of a teacher's competence. This research aims to enhance the theoretical training level of students enrolled in the Faculty of Physical Education. The experiment involved 36 first-year students from TNPU. Initially, the collected data revealed an average score of 55% across all sections of theoretical training, indicating a low level of knowledge. However, after the experiment, significant improvements were observed in the areas of general development (4.22±0.12), drill exercises (4.11±0.10), injury prevention in gymnastics classes (4.17±0.12), and gymnastics in the system of physical education of Ukraine (4.03±0.15).

APRIMORAMENTOS NA CAPACIDADE DE COORDENAÇÃO FÍSICA DOS GINASTAS

ABSTRACT Introduction In the specific sports of gymnastics, athletes’ physical quality and professional ability are actively improved, and a special training plan is also actively designed. Objective Improve the physical coordination ability of gymnastic athletes. Methods 50 professional gymnasts were selected, 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The intervention took 2 hours of daily training in gymnastics class; the period was in a non-competitive season cycle. Results After the experiment, the average performance of the athletes in the experimental group was higher than those before the experiment in the four indicators of push-ups, extensions, supine, and high leg kicks; however, in the three indicators of push-ups, pull-ups, and high leg kicks, the standard deviation after the experiment presented higher than that before (the results after the experiment were not shown to be as stable as those before the experiment). Conclusion During exercise, especially in complex movements, abdominal core strength balances the distribution of physical force for athletes, reducing overall energy expenditure. Thus, athletes can coordinate lower limbs to move with greater speed and precision. Level of Evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Formation of a value attitude to the health of gymnasts aged 11-14

Intensive rhythmic gymnastics classes in adolescence are aimed at achieving high athletic results, while forming value attitudes towards health. The article presents data on the attitude to the health of athletes aged 11-14 years, the main motives of recovery are revealed. The data obtained allow us to conclude that psychological and pedagogical support of athletes involved in sports schools is necessary for purposeful work on the formation of a social attitude of a teenager's personality to his health.

ВЛИЯНИЕ РАСШИРЕННОГО ДВИГАТЕЛЬНОГО РЕЖИМА НА ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ УМСТВЕННОЙ РАБОТОСПОСОБНОСТИ ДЕТЕЙ 5–6 ЛЕТ

The mental performance of children aged 5–6 years old, recorded in the conditions of regular and extended physical activity regimes of a preschool educational institution, corresponded to the characteristics of the age development of preschoolers in the senior group of kindergarten. An expanded regime of physical activity, including additional rhythmic gymnastics classes and exercises in the pool, contributes to a more pronounced increase in the speed and stability of mental work of children 5–6 years old in daily and weekly dynamics in comparison with the traditional organization of physical activity.
