Aim is to investigate the effectiveness of the author’s methodology for the rehabilitation of adolescents with postural disorders (bilateral scoliotic deformities of the spine) using swimming exercises.
Materials and Methods: The research involved 40 adolescents (girls) aged 11 to 13 years with bilateral scoliosis of the 2nd degree. Two groups were formed (CG and EG) of 20 people. The author’s methodology was used in the rehabilitation of adolescents of the EG. Breaststroke and backstroke swimming was used in the CG. The following indicators were studied: the angle of bending of the right- and left-side arch of the scoliotic deformity, deadlift of the torso dynamometer, dumbbell bench press, and push-ups from a bench.
Results: The author’s methodology for the rehabilitation of postural disorders in adolescents based on the use of sidestroke swimming exercises and a special corset, which allows to fix one scoliotic deformity and carry out rehabilitation on the second deformity (bending) and vice versa, has been developed. Testing the effectiveness of the methodology shows that after rehabilitation, adolescents in the EG showed significantly better results than those in the CG in all studied indicators.
Conclusions: As a result of the training sessions according to the author’s methodology with the use of the developed corset and sidestroke swimming, adolescents of the EG had a significant recovery of bilateral scoliotic deformities, strengthening of the muscular corset of the trunk, and improvement of the functional state of the main body systems and health.
The article conducts research related to the use of higher education technology in the educational process of students of higher education institutions, as research activities in the educational process. The use of research activity is substantiated as a method of activating the cognitive activity of students. Developed and proposed to use modified algorithmic approaches to the organization and content of research activities of students of higher educational institutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
