Discriminant analysis: peculiarities of impact of sports specialization on 3rd-year female students’ functional and motor fitness

Abstract

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).

Impact of Physical Education on Peculiarities of Functional State of 18-22 Year Old Female Students’ Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

“…The obtained data confirm that the third year is a problematic period in physical education of students (Chernenko, Iermakov, Oliinyk, & Dolynnyi, 2018;Chernenko, Jagiello, Ivashchenko, Khudolii, & Pashkevich, 2021).…”

“…The need to control the functional fitness of students is pointed out by Aguilera, Rivera-Aguilera, and Cordovés-Peinado (2020); Amin, Karim, and Jassim (2019); Aparicio-Sarmiento, Gómez-Carmona, Martínez-Romero, Gamonales, and Sainz De Baranda (2021). The most popular control test in mass research is the Ruffier index (Chernenko, Jagiello, Ivashchenko, Khudolii, & Pashkevich, 2021;Solohubova, Lakhno, Shyyan, & Shyyan, 2020). The availability of registration of heart rate indicators, the simplicity of calculations and evaluation of research results make it a universal tool that characterizes the adaptive capabilities of the human cardiovascular system (Hjalmarson, 1991;Fox, 2005;Fox, Ford, & Steg, 2008).…”

Aerobic Training Method in Throwing Application

“…(Table 2) This indicates that the range of motion of the shoulder joint has increased significantly during the fitness intervention. 7 In this way, the muscles involved in the work are stretched longer. At this time, the elastic potential energy generated by the muscle is more tremendous.…”

The analysis of aerobics intelligent fitness system for neurorobotics based on big data and machine learning

“…Besides, it improves motor coordination and flexibility [ 9 ]. It is necessary to scientifically arrange the exercise time and frequency and pay attention to exercise hygiene to achieve the ideal exercise effect in aerobics [ 10 ]. However, fitness often only focuses on physical exercise, neglecting interaction and coordination with the brain.…”
