AGE-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOTOR ABILITIES IN VOLLEYBALL

There are a large number of publications related to conditioning in volleyball and in general. However, a very small part of them are related to the development of motor abilities in an age aspect. Such a study would be very difficult to implement, but at the same time, it would be beneficial in terms of the selection and sports orientation of youth volleyball. Volleyball as a sport has developed extremely dynamically in recent years, which makes it even more demanding in terms of fitness. The basic skills necessary for successful implementation in sports are complex and based on the athletes' ability to jump, sprint, and hit. From this point of view, the interest in this research was dictated, with the primary goal of determining the values of the main signs related to the volleyball game and compiling normative tables for control and assessment of preparedness. The research tasks also arise from the goal set in this way. To investigate the differences in the main essential characteristics of the volleyball game regarding age. To propose standards of control and evaluation. The methods we used to solve the problems are anthropometry, chronometry, tensiometry, speedometry, and mathematical-statistical methods (frequency, variation analysis, and sigma method). Results: The most significant increase in women was observed in the results of the jump tests and the speed of the serve (over 20 %) and smaller within 10% in the running tests. We attribute these results to the fact that the listed movements emphasize the training and competition process. Based on the obtained results, norms for evaluating the readiness of the contestants have been drawn up.

The influence of an experimental physical training program on 100 m running speed indicators of educators of table tennis groups of a higher education institution. Dynamics and forecasting.

The problem of improving the process of physical education of students has been the subject of specialists' attention for many years. Analysis of literary sources shows that the level of physical fitness, mental and moral strength of the main mass of applicant’s education remains quite low. This requires finding new ways to improve physical, mental and moral condition of student youth. Purpose: experimental check the effect of specially designed classes included in the physical education program training of students of sports oriented groups in table tennis of the institution of higher education on the indicator of running speed for 100 m. Material: used in the experiment participation of 106 first-year students of different genders (53 – control group and 53 – experimental). The R/S method was proposed for processing experimental data. Informed consent to participate in this experiment was obtained from all participants. Results: at the end of the experiment (May), the results of the students of the experimental group qualitatively differed from the results of the students of the control group groups The results of the pedagogical experiment indicate the need for inclusion of the proposed classes in the educational program for physical education of students of groups with a sports orientation, in particular (sectional classes) table tennis. The experimental program included classes with running at the maximum pace at short distances from 15 to 30 m, at a distance of 60 and 100 m, running at maximum pace cross step in different directions. Relays with running were also used, moving in different ways, mobile games and sports team games. Organization education seekers was carried out by the frontal method and the method of circular training. When using circular training, accelerations for 100 m were used speed up to 65-70% of the maximum, which alternated with running for a distance of 50 m at a slow pace The training program also included classes with cross-country elements training and elements of basic aerobics, step aerobics, dance aerobics, which accounted for up to 25% of the time. The pedagogical experiment was conducted during the academic year with from October 2020 to June 2021. Conclusions: this experiment proved that that the inclusion of specially developed table tennis sections in the curriculum classes, made it possible to improve the indicators of education seekers in running a distance of 100 m. The method of exponential smoothing made it possible to predict the results on future. One of the advantages of the calculation method proposed in the article is that that fractal analysis allows to reveal stochastic (random) time series. In such, there is no long-term statistical dependence in the time series.

The Effect of Static Apnea Diving Training on the Physiological Parameters of People with a Sports Orientation and Sedentary Participants: A Pilot Study.

Diver training improves physical and mental fitness, which can also benefit other sports. This study investigates the effect of eight weeks of static apnea training on maximum apnea time, and on the physiological parameters of runners, swimmers, and sedentary participants, such as forced vital capacity (FVC), minimum heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2). The study followed 19 participants, including five runners, swimmers, sedentary participants, and four competitive divers for reference values. The minimum value of SpO2, HR, maximum duration of apnea, and FVC were measured. Apnea training occurred four times weekly, consisting of six apneas with 60 s breathing pauses. Apnea duration was gradually increased by 30 s. The measurement started with a 30 s apnea and ended with maximal apnea. There was a change in SpO2 decreased by 6.8%, maximum apnea length increased by 15.8%, HR decreased by 9.1%, and FVC increased by 12.4% for the groups (p < 0.05). There were intra-groups changes, but no significant inter-groups difference was observed. Eight weeks of apnea training improved the maximum duration of apnea, FVC values and reduced the minimum values of SpO2 and HR in all groups. No differences were noted between groups after training. This training may benefit cardiorespiratory parameters in the population.

The use of information and communication technologies in the activities of children’s public associations of physical culture and sports orientation

Children’s public associations are an important social institution in Ukrainian society. One of the directions of their activity is the implementation of physical culture and health work. Such associations promote a healthy way of life, become centers for the child to gain experience in healthy and useful leisure time.&#x0D; In the conditions of martial law, the activities of a large number of activities of children’s public associations moved to the online space, which led to the search for new forms and methods of working with children and school youth.&#x0D; The relevance of the use of information technologies in the activities of children’s public sports associations is due to the rapid development of information and communication technologies in the educational process and the need for quick adaptability to the content of educational activities.&#x0D; The advantages of introducing information and communication technologies into the practice of activities of children’s public associations of physical culture and sports orientation are the expansion of methodological tools; use of various forms and methods of work; engaging in the active participation of members of children’s public associations who are outside the country or do not have the opportunity to attend classes offline; conducting online trainings, contests, competitions, quizzes; development of research activity, analytical and search thinking skills, intellectual and creative abilities in children and schoolchildren.&#x0D; The combination of traditional forms of work with information and communication technologies creates new opportunities for involving children and school youth to participate in children’s public organizations and associations of physical culture and sports focus in the online mode.

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF SPORT ORIENTATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF LEADER BEHAVIOR OF SPORTS OF COACHES AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS OF ATHLETES

The study aimed to determine the mediating effect of sport orientation on the relationship between the leadership behavior of sports’ coaches and the mental toughness of athletes among Special Program in Sports students in one of the public secondary schools in Malita, Province of Davao Occidental, Region XI using quantitative non-experimental descriptive- correlational research design. Results revealed a very high level of sport coaches’ leadership behavior, a very high level of athletes’ mental toughness, and very high level of sports orientation. The leadership behavior of sports’ coaches does not significantly correlate with the mental toughness of athletes and sports orientation. Sports orientation does not significantly correlate with the mental toughness of athletes. The null hypothesis is accepted that sport orientation does not significantly mediate sport coaches’ leadership behavior and athletes’ mental toughness. More so, there is a partial mediating effect of sport orientation on the relationship between the leader behavior of sports coaches’ and athletes’ mental toughness. Other factors may affect the mental toughness leadership style and motivation of their coaches aside from sports orientation although studies show coaches are responsible for everything from mental adjustments, life counseling, and interpersonal relationships to gathering information about competitions. Furthermore, this approach might be used as a means of continuous improvement for enhancing in-service education, refining current educational programs, and conducting comprehensive assessments of educational tools and interventions.&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/edu/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As a result of the analysis, a statistically significant difference was found between the height values ​​of girls and boys in terms of anthropometric characteristics (p&lt;0.01). No significant difference was found in terms of other anthropometric values ​​(p&gt;0.05). In terms of physical performances, a significance at the level of (p&lt;0.01) was found in favour of boys in 30-m sprint test and standing long jump tests, and in favour of girls in flamingo balance test parameters. No significant difference was found in terms of cognitive performance. The results of the study reveal that the physical and cognitive performance data of primary-school 7-8-years-old children show similar developmental characteristics when evaluated in terms of gender.

Impact of a mental training program for pediatric cancer patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or high-dose chemotherapy - Results of a randomized controlled trial.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or intensive chemotherapy for the treatment of malignant diseases is a highly distressing experience. The affected person's resilience is crucial to coping with this challenging experience. Experience with resilience-enhancing interventions in children and young adults during cancer therapy is scarce. The major objective of this work was developing and evaluating an effective psycho-oncological mental training that complements the standard psychosocial care. In this prospective, randomized single-center study, a total of 30 patients (12 to 22years of age) who underwent HSCT or high-dose chemotherapy received either the standard psychosocial care (control group [CG]) or additionally underwent a novel and specifically developed resilience-enhancing 14-session mental training (therapy group [TG]). The patients were observed over an 8-month period and were screened for distress, thyroid, and immune function parameters, as well as generalized anxiety, affect, and sports orientation. Patients of the TG showed significantly greater improvements in all assessed mental aspects, including anxiety, affect, competitiveness, win orientation, goal orientation, self-optimization, self-blocking, and loss of focus, as well as cortisol levels within 8months, as opposed to patients of the CG (effect size range ξ: 0.74-1.00). Patients who underwent the mental training displayed less anxiety, better affect, and improved mental performance with less self-blocking. This resulted in improved goal orientation, competitiveness, self-optimization, and focus when compared to the CG patients. However, larger prospective trials are necessary to substantiate these findings.

On the basis of the analysis of the problems of the organization of military applied training of personnel, the ways of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process of training the skills of orientation in the terrain in the power structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are presented.

Features of the legal status of sports federations in Ukraine

Introduction. Sport is an autonomous system that includes a huge array of various public sports organizations connected by complex relationships, the central place among which is occupied by sports federations. The purpose of the paper is to determine the specifics of the legal status and areas of activity of sports federations in Ukraine. Results. Results. The Law of Ukraine "On Physical Culture and Sports" provides for the delegation of powers for the development of the relevant sport, organization and holding of official international and all-Ukrainian sports competitions on the territory of Ukraine, etc. to public associations of physical culture and sports orientation. At the same time, it is difficult to talk about the complete autonomy of sports federations, since the sports federation, among other things, ensures cooperation with the structural units of local state administrations and local self-government bodies regarding the development of the respective sport; agrees with the Ministry, relevant local bodies of executive power and local self-government bodies on the issue of holding international sports competitions on the territory of Ukraine; implements and demands the same implementation from its members of the decisions of the Ministry, relevant contracts with local executive bodies in the field of physical culture and sports; submits a report on the use of budget funds in case of financial support from the state budget to a sports federation for the development of a sport, organization and holding of sports events; is obliged to submit a report to the Ministry on the state of implementation of the cooperation agreement, etc. every year. The peculiarity of the legal status of sports federations in various sports is that they can be created only as non-commercial organizations. At the same time, sports federations can independently or through legal entities created by them carry out entrepreneurial activities, if such activities are not their main activity and correspond to the purpose for which they were created and contribute to its achievement. Conclusion. The legal status of sports federations is hybrid. On the one hand, they are accountable to the central body of executive power - the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, and on the other hand, they are autonomous and independently determine the directions of their activities, including: organization and holding of competitions; approval of internal documents and their implementation; implementation of the system of certification of clubs, coaches and other specialists in the field of sports; establishment of institutions, enterprises and organizations to achieve their statutory goals and objectives, participation in civil-law relations, acquisition of property and non-property rights; determination of the mechanism for resolving sports disputes.

Estimation of Body Composition and Health Status in Women, PE Students, on-site of Outdoor Activities on Gazivode Lake – A Case Study Report

This paper is based on the results of the cross-sectional experiment that was implemented in the school year 2021/2022 among women students in the first year of bachelor studies at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education (FSPE) in Leposavić, University of Priština (temporarily allocated in Kosovska Mitrovica). The study design model was implemented during the obligatory course Outdoor activities (2nd semester, weekly classes 1 + 4, and 15 + 60 classes per semester) for the first time. Body composition assessment was realized along with the pedagogical practice of summer outdoor activities camp on Gazivode Lake in Kosovo (as a practical exam study curriculum requirement). The sample includes seven women FSPE students. Based on the body composition and health status assessment, students’ results are presented in figures (for the evaluation of measured variables) and diagrams for estimating the individual student’s results. Comparative analysis of results within the group was used, considering the differences among examined students regarding calculated mean values, recorded min and max results, and confidence interval. The student profile model scores were selected according to the best results achieved in general placement in most variables and evaluated regarding the case study report. The results were evaluated based on the digital system for the assessment of body composition (Omron BF511) and the interpretation of results for the following variables: Body Fat (BF%), Visceral Fat (VF), Skeletal Muscles Percentage (SM%), Body Mass Index (BMI), and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). Health status assessments were performed by an electronic digital blood pressure monitor (Prizma YE660E) for the measurement of Systolic (SYS), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DIA), and Resting Heart Rate (RHR). The results show the expected intra-group differences in body composition parameters, which are not inherited conditionally, for all selected body parameters (except for BMI). However, most of the values are in the recommended range, especially those with small percentages of high BF% and BMI, as well as SM% values, indicating the heterogeneity of the participants, their sports orientation, health status, and level of physical activity.

the problem of quality training of future officers of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine requires not only a high level of their training in the chosen specialty, but also the development of physical and psychological qualities, the formation of military-applied motor abilities and skills, which will contribute to ensuring the effective performance of assigned tasks. Achieving the specified tasks is facilitated by practicing military sports, among which sports orientation occupies an important place. Sports orienteering classes, along with the development of basic physical qualities, contribute to the formation of abilities and skills to quickly navigate the environment and terrain, analyze it and make the right decisions quickly, work in a team, etc. the introduction of sports orientation to the physical training of cadets of higher military educational institutions (HmEI) during the sports and mass work (SmW) will also contribute to improving their motivation for regular physical activity, increasing interest in systematic physical exercises. Aim and methods. the aim is to investigate the motivational and value attitude of cadets to physical training and sports classes. methods: analysis, synthesis and generalization of literary sources, questionnaires. 504 servicemen (492 cadets, 12 officers) took part in the survey. the study was conducted in 2020-2021 at S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr military Institute. Results. It was found that as the year of study increases, the cadets’ interest in traditional classes of SmW decreases (from 51.3% in the 1st year to 17.9 % in the 5th year). It was found that the main cause of the mentioned problem is the insufficient variety of modern means of physical training and sports. It was established that 100 % of the interviewed cadets and graduate officers, who were engaged in sports orientation during their studies, are convinced of the effectiveness of this kind of sport in forming military applied motor skills and abilities of cadets and improving their physical fitness. Conclusions. the results of the survey indicate the expediency of introducing sports orientation as one of the effective modern kind of military-applied sports to SmW. It will contribute to improving the motivational and value attitude of cadets towards physical training and sports during their studying at HmEI
