ISSN 1993-7997 (online) Анотація Мета дослідження: впровадження в навчальний процес ліцею програми профілактики порушень зору для студентів групи ризику та визначення її ефективності на підставі динаміки комплексної бальної оцінки ступеня ризику виникнення зорової патології. Матеріали і методи. Під спостереженням знаходився 91 студент (35 хлопців та 56 дівчат). Для проведення фор-муючого експерименту було виділено досліджувану групу (ДГ), 10 осіб (з патологією органа зору, які виконували розроблену профілактичну програму, 4 хлопця та 6 дівчат) та контрольну (КГ), 10 осіб (з патологією органа зору, які навчалися за звичайною програмою, 5 хлопців та 5 дівчат). Ефективність програми оцінювалась за змінами суб'єктивної оцінки студентами свого зорового комфорту. Для орієнтовної оцінки причинно-наслідкового зв'язку між діючим фактором та виникненням ефекту був використаний показник відносного ризику (RR). Вихідні характеристики порівнювалися між групами з використанням тестів χ2 (бінарні змінні), t -тести (неперервні змінні), тест Манна-Уїтні для порівняння розподілу порядкових змінних та тест Уiлкоксона (пов'язані вибірки). Результати. В КГ у динаміці навчального року приріст бальної оцінки зорової втоми склав 90,6±10,3 %. При цьо-му студенти ДГ зменшили вираженість та наявність скарг на стомлення зорового аналізатора. У ДГ комплексна бальна оцінка вірогідно зменшилася з 9,8±0,8 до 7,2±0,9 ум.од. Впроваджена профілактична програма мала пози-тивний вплив на скарги «бажання наблизити текст до очей» (відносний ризик (RR) = 6,0, χ2=5,6, p<0,05), «відчуття наявності окремих періодів змін гостроти зору» (відносний ризик (RR) = 3,5; χ2=5,1, p<0,05) та загальну оцінку опитувальника (відносний ризик (RR) = 7,0; χ2=7,5, p<0,01). В результаті застосування запропонованої програми за результатами опитування студентів з патологією органа зору відмічено достовірне (р < 0,05) підвищення рівня працездатності зорового аналізатора. Висновки. Впровадження профілактичної програми для студентів професійного ліцею з патологією органа зору позитивно впливало на їх суб'єктивну оцінку працездатності зорового аналізатора.

Purpose — to determine the characteristics of functional and motor fitness guys eighth and ninth grades.Material and methods. To achieve the objectives following methods were used: analysis of scientific literature, teacher testing and statistical methods of processing the results of the study. The study involved 17 boys 8th grade, 17 children in grade 9.Conclusions. The guys 8—9 classes standardized canonical discriminant function coefficients enable us to determine the relative contributions of the variables in the function result. Most contribution to the canonical function are changeable 1, 5 and 2: the larger the values of these variables, the greater the value of the function. The above indicates the possibility of evaluating the functional readiness of pupils of 8—9 classes with the help of samples Stange, Genchi and Serkin.The guys 8—9 classes standardized canonical discriminant function coefficients, which allow us to determine the relative contributions of the variables in the function result. Most contribution to the canonical function variables are 8, 7 and 9: the higher the values of these variables, the greater the value of the function. The above indicates the possibility of assessment of motor readiness of pupils of 8—9 classes by means of tests 8, 7 and 9. The boys grades 8—9 structural factors canonical discriminant function show that the most significant feature is associated with 8 and 9 variables: the more attention is paid to the static speed and power, the greater the likelihood improve motor fitness children grades 8—9.

Background and Study Aim. The objective of the study was to determine the peculiarities of impact of sports specialization on 3rd-year female students’ functional and motor fitness. Materials and methods. The study involved 3rd-year female students of the Donbas State Engineering Academy in Kramatorsk, who practiced badminton (n = 43), aerobics (n = 43), and callanetics (n = 43). To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing; index method and medical-biological methods. Pedagogical methods were used to study the peculiarities of students’ functional state of the body and motor abilities; for data processing discriminant analysis was used. Sectional classes were held in groups according to the schedule – twice a week. Results. The study revealed the peculiarities of impact of attending badminton, aerobics, and callanetics sports sections on the level of 3rd-year female students’ functional and motor fitness. The female students who play badminton show better results in the 100-meter dash and the Standing long jump. In the exercise “Push-ups”, better results are shown by the female students who do aerobics. Conclusions. The results of classification of students by the level of motor and functional fitness and the analysis of multidimensional averages (centroids) point to the peculiarities of dynamics of female students’ state depending on sports specialization. The results of the following tests are most important for differentiated assessment of the state of motor and functional fitness at the first level: Romberg test (r = 0.662), 100-meter dash (r = 0.491), Push-ups (r = 0.491). At the second level – Stange test (r = 0.417), Standing long jump (r = 0.412).

The study objective is to evaluate the possibility of using screening methods for determining the effectiveness of health and fitness activities of students in higher education institutions. Materials and methods. The participants in the experiment were 37 first-year students (17 boys and 20 girls) of the School of History of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. The experiment lasted during the fall semester. Using the Framingham method for analyzing weekly timing, the study conducted a survey among the students on their level of motor activity and performed a functional movement screen testing. To tentatively evaluate the cause and effect relationship between the level of motor activity and the occurrence of a pathological movement pattern, the study used the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The characteristics between the groups were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test for comparing the distribution of ordinal variables. Results. The correlation analysis showed that the first-year students’ motor activity was positively related to the results of functional movement screening (R=+0.69, p< 0.05). At the same time, the students (EG1) who mainly had a high level of physical activity at physical education classes showed low values of functional movement evaluation, compared to the students (EG2) participating in extra-curricular physical activity. In EG1, the overall screening score was 10.3±0.7, in EG2 — 14.2±0.9 (p<0.05). Conclusions. The students with insufficient weekly motor activity had risk values of the test (10.3±0.7), which requires further analysis of the causes of a pathological movement pattern. The study results have confirmed the existence of the relationship between motor activity indicators and functional movement evaluation (R=+0.69, p<0.05). This provides a way to use the screening method of determining motor competence for the effectiveness evaluation of health and fitness programs, but further research is needed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of foam rolling on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and the recovery of fencers’ technical and tactical qualities during a pre-competition period. Materials and methods. The study participants were male fencers (n = 12), SC “Unifeht”, aged 18.77 ± 2.55 years (6 – experimental group (EG), 6 – control group (CG)). The study lasted for two weeks of the pre-competition period. The CG fencers performed a self-myofascial release using a foam roller (BLACKROLL) for 20 minutes five times a week. The EG athletes were given partial restorative massage using a foam roller (10 + 10 minutes) five times a week. To assess the effectiveness of massage treatments, the study subjectively evaluated delayed onset muscle soreness, evaluated the impact of pain on daily life and changes in the parameters of the fencers’ technical and tactical qualities. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) was used to roughly estimate the causal relationship between the existing factor and the emergence of the effect. The study compared original characteristics of the groups, using Mann-Whitney tests to compare the distribution of ordinal variables, Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests (linked samples). A one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was carried out to estimate the impact of existing factors. Results. For two weeks of using a restorative massage and myofascial release, the study observed a significant increase in the parameters of the fencers’ technical and tactical qualities and a reduction in subjective pain in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the EG athletes had a more positive subjective assessment of delayed onset muscle soreness at the time of survey than the CG members (0.2 ± 0.1 points in comparison with 1.5 ± 0.4; p < 0.05) and a more significant reduction of the impact of pain on daily life (scales of walking ability, normal work at home and outside the home, sleep, p < 0.05). At the same time, in two of the three tests that characterized the fencers’ technical and tactical qualities, the results were significantly higher in the EG (test exercise with thrust: 89.9 ± 2.8% in the CG in comparison with 98.6 ± 4.1% in the EG, and the test exercise with the coach’s occasional task: 88.2 ± 2.1% in the CG in comparison with 95.4 ± 3.8% in the EG, p < 0.05). Conclusions. Massage treatments and self-myofascial release reduce the level of delayed onset muscle soreness, improve the recovery of technical and tactical qualities of fencers and reduce the impact of pain on daily life. The study has proved that foam rolling is effective in fencers’ recovery. This massage technique is relatively accessible, simple and it greatly facilitates a massage therapist’s work.

The objective of the research is to develop, substantiate and evaluate the effectiveness of interval training methods during physical training of students of higher educational institutions pursuant to changes in physical performance.Methods.  The reference group (RG) consisted of 20 students (5 male and 15 female), the test group (TG) — 26 (5 male and 19 female). The RG students did fitness during their physical training classes at the university, while the TG students, besides the same program, did Tabata training in class and independently on their own at three levels of intensity four times a week for four weeks.We evaluated the effectiveness by the changes in students’ physical performance. We used χ2 tests (binary variables) to compare the output characteristics in the groups, t–tests (continuous variables) and Mann-Whitney test to compare the distribution of ordinal variables, and Wilcoxon test (related samples).Results. During the month of the forming experiment being conducted, the TG students’ physical performance showed the increase of + 38.9% and was reliably different from the results of the initial period (p < 0.05). The anthropometric indicators did not significantly change in their dynamics, nor was there any difference between the comparison groups.The evaluation of the effectiveness of interval training by the Tabata methods pursuant to the dynamics of the students’ physical performance allowed to objectively prove the positive effect that additional independent training of students has when implemented.
