GAMBARAN KESIAPSIAGAAN, RESPON, DAN PEMULIHAN PADA LEVEL KABUPATEN DALAM PENGENDALIAN PANDEMI COVID-19

Background: WHO has designated COVID-19 as a World Public Health Emergency. Success of the district level in handling COVID-19 is determined by the efforts made in these 3 phases: preparedness, response, and recovery. Sleman which has an urban character has its own vulnerabilitie and resources in the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
 Objective: This study aimed to obtain an overview of the preparedness, response, and recovery in controlling COVID-19.
 Methods: Qualitative research with a case study design in Sleman using the WHO Practical Actions in Cities to Strength Preparedness Checklist for the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond. The research subjects are informants who play a role in Task Force. Data were collected by means of documentation studies, observation, and in-depth interviews. Data validation was done by triangulation of sources and research data.
 Results: Expert academics and communities are less involved. At the beginning of the pandemic, risk communication was less than optimal to form stakeholder awareness in the government and the community, resulting in poor public compliance with health protocols and public health measures. Mobility restrictions follow national directives. However, compliance monitoring and enforcement of violations are weak. Testing and tracing capacity is still far below the standard. The strategy to increase the capacity of COVID-19 beds in hospitals does not anticipate a surge in cases, and the formation of village shelters has not been maximized.
 Conclusion: Planning and coordination require improvement by
 taking into account existing vulnerabilities and involving all resources in the community. Risk communication strategies need to be strengthened according to changing situations and tailored to
 specific targets using effective media. The government needs to make adjustments to public health measures carefully, taking into
 account the epidemiological situation, the capacity of the health system, and the socioeconomic conditions of the community.
 

The influence of the author's program on speed qualities in swimming training military pentathlon

The popularity of applied military sports in the modern world, its intensive commercialization and professionalization, as well as the constantly high political significance of the successes of athletes has led in recent years to the formation and improvement of highly effective systems for training athletes. This is evidenced by the multitude of scientific studies, which say that the results of the international level are available only in exceptional cases, gifted athletes with pronounced natural inclinations. achievements in a particular sport (Platonov, 2013; Shinkaruk, 2013; Romanchuk & Arabsky, 2019) or were able to realize them through the process of long-term improvement (Krasova, 2012). Purpose: The purpose of the study is to improve the process of swimming training of military pentathlon fighters and to determine pedagogical methods of controlling the level of strength development to gradually inform the functional state of the body of athletes in order to select candidates for national teams. Material: The increase in athletic performance in military pentathlon requires the continuous improvement of many provisions regarding training techniques. The practice of sports training puts forward new options for the construction of the training process and requires their improvement. The article describes the method of determining the level of development of strength of military pentathlon, by which it is possible to select candidates for national pentathlon teams in conditions of insufficient educational and material resources (absence of obstacles), and the results of the exercises by this method are presented and analyzed (Aleksandrov I. S., 1970; Varakin A. P., 1983). Results: According to the results of testing of experimental technology, a significant improvement in the strength preparedness in the study group was recorded, the difference between the test and control group is very significant in terms of maximum thrust on land and wrist dynamometry, which in turn confirms the effectiveness of using special exercises for special exercises (Oderov, A., Romanchuk, S., Fedak, S., Kuznetsov, M., Petruk, A., Dunets-Lesko, A., et al. (2017).).

HEALTH MONITORING OF STUDENTS OF THE III FUNCTIONAL GROUP FOR CONTROLLING AND DESIGNING EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT (PHYSICAL EDUCATION) IN A NON-SPORT UNIVERSITY

Aim. The purpose of the article is to study the physical development and physical fitness of students of the III functional group under lack of physical activity and in the conditions of organized classes in a technical university. Materials and methods. The sample included 11 490 full time students (6051 males and 5439 females) aged 17–21 years. The study of physical deve­lopment and physical fitness was conducted in two stages. In all participants, anthropometric and physiometric health data were recorded. These data were studied in dynamics from the 1st to the 4th year. The obtained data were examined stage-by-stage during the academic year and vacation period. Results. Significant differences were obtained in the physical development of girls in terms of weight and height by the end of the third year. The values of the Stange and Gench tests improved by the end of the first year. However, by the end of the second year, the negative dynamics was detected. The results of the Genchtest significantly improved by the end of the fourth year. The study of physical fitness revealed significant positive dynamic in the development of speed and a significant decrease in strength preparedness by the end of the fourth year. By the end of the first year, strength endurance became significantly higher compared with the data obtained at the time of the beginning of training. By the end of the third year endurance decreased significantly. Conclusion. Young people who regularly engage in physical activity during the first two years at the university have a positive trend in most indicators of physical development and physical fitness. Lack of motor activity, caused by a decrease in the number of classes provided for by the general education program, significantly affects endurance, speed, the development of strength (static endurance of the muscles of the shoulder girdle and dynamic strength of the muscles of the lower extremities), speed and strength qualities (6th and 8th semesters), flexibility.

Comparative Overview of Functional and Motor Preparedness of Boys Aged 13-14

The study objective was to determine the possibility of recognizing the state of functional and motor preparedness of boys aged 13–14, using multidimensional statistical methods.
 Materials and methods. The study involved boys aged 13 years (n = 10), 14 years (n = 10) studying at the Pisochyn Collegium. To solve the tasks set, the study relied on the following research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics for processing research results.
 Results. There are statistically significant differences in the preparedness of the boys aged 13 and 14 years in test 4 “Serkin’s test, phase 2” and test 15 “Evaluation of perception of motion strength parameters, 1/3”. The boys aged 14 show better results. In tests 1–3, 5, 9–14, 16–17, the boys aged 14 tend to improve their results. The results indicate that discriminant analysis allows to recognize the state of functional and motor preparedness of the boys aged 13–14, using test results and to classify the school students by motor activity. For practical application of discriminant analysis results, unstandardized canonical discriminant function coefficients are used. The probability of a case belonging to the predicted group is calculated based on substitution of values of variables for the corresponding case into the discriminant function. A comparison of the obtained results with centroid values makes it possible to determine the group the result belongs to.
 Conclusions. Discriminant function structure coefficients are most closely related to variables that characterize functional preparedness (test 4 “Serkin’s test, phase 2”), coordination and strength preparedness (test 15 “Evaluation of perception of motion strength parameters, 1/3”, test 9 “Bent-arm hang”, test 10 “Standing long jump”). The division of boys into groups by functional and motor preparedness is carried out on the basis of unstandardized coefficients.
