Study purpose. The study was aimed at assessing the quality of active family leisure and identifying motivations for and interests in health-enhancing and recreational physical activity of parents and children. Materials and methods. The study involved 106 families. A set of generally accepted research methods was used including theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature as well as domestic and international practical experience related to family leisure; sociological methods (questionnaire surveys), and mathematical statistics methods. Results. The questionnaire survey provided an opportunity to identify priority areas of joint physical activity of children and parents and to assess the quality of family well-being and active family leisure. The attitude of parents to winter types of recreation in the organization of active leisure was identified. According to the survey data, 9.4% of the families had a high level, 59.4% had an average level, 30.3% had a satisfactory level, and 0.9% had an unsatisfactory level of family well-being. The vast majority of respondents (45.2%) believed that their family members had a satisfactory level of physical activity, 40.6% of families reported they had an average level, only 10.4% indicated they had a high level, and 3.8% said they had an unsatisfactory level. Among the surveyed families, 63.2% indicated an average level of satisfaction with family leisure, 29.2% rated their leisure as satisfactory, and the remaining 3.8% indicated an excellent or unsatisfactory level. Conclusions. The focus was on identifying prevailing motivations, which contribute to the optimization of the family leisure process and the degree of activity when using recreational technologies. The obtained results indicate a significant potential for expanding physical activity of families with children, including through the use of winter recreation.

“…Despite the fact that the school is an educational institution that focuses on the harmonious development of children, there is a clear decline in the physical activity of students and -as a consequence -a decrease in their physical condition and morbidity (Krutsevich, Pangelova, Trachuk, & Ivanik, 2019;Аndrieieva et al, 2019).…”

Effect of Physical Development Self-Assessment Indicators on Value Orientation Structure Formation in Senior School Age Students

Background. Physical education as a subject in general secondary education institutions aims not only to solve health and educational problems but also to form a value attitude to health, healthy lifestyle, fostering the interest in and the need for physical activity. Research purpose. The study aims to investigate the relationship between senior school age students’ value orientations and physical development self-assessment indicators to determine incentives to increase motivation for self-improvement by means of physical education. Materials and methods. The research methods used to solve the tasks set in the paper were as follows: analysis and generalization of data of scientific and methodological literature; content analysis; comparison and juxtaposition method; Ye. Bochenkova’s test-questionnaire Self-description of physical development, M. Rokych’s technique for defining value orientations; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Based on examining correlations between the 11th grade students’ terminal values and physical development self-assessment, a tendency was found to shift the priority of youth values towards life values, values of professional realization, and values of interpersonal relationships. Based on the results of the study, we found that the formation of value orientations in boys and girls in high school can affect self-esteem, which in turn is a stimulus for self-improvement and, through an effective component of physical activity, increases the importance of “health” for senior school age boys. On the other hand, girls have no such pattern, and the value of “health” is declarative for them. Conclusions. It has been determined that the formation of value orientations through an effective component of physical activity can affect the self-esteem of boys and girls, which in turn is an indicator of self-awareness and expresses the individual’s attitude to himself and is the basis for regulating their own behavior.

“…Currently, there is a growing interest in new types of physical activity among women, since a sedentary lifestyle has been associated with a variety of health conditions (Andrieieva et al, 2019b;Hakman et al, 2020;Yelizarova et al, 2020). Physical inactivity inevitably results in lower aerobic fitness levels (Baker et al, 2020).…”

et al. 2020

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined exercise program focused on the improvement of young women’s physical condition. Materials and methods. The study involved 62 healthy women (an average age of 29.4 years). More than 50 parameters were assessed (anthropometric indicators, physical capacity and motor abilities, functional status of the cardiorespiratory system, etc.). The structure of physical condition of the women was identified using the factor analysis. The transforming experiment lasted for 14 months. Results. The physical development indicators had the largest contribution (33.4%) to the total variance of physical characteristics of the subjects. The second factor related to the functional state and physical performance accounted for 21.6%, the third factor related to coordination abilities accounted for 19.8%, and the fourth factor related to physical fitness accounted for 10.3% of the total variance. Those four factors explained 85.1% of the total variance. The 35 indicators, which were selected by the factor analysis and characterized the women’s physical condition, were used as criteria for the effectiveness of the proposed exercise program. Participation in the exercise program significantly affected the morphological status of women. Functional indicators of the cardiovascular system improved significantly, including resting heart rate decreased by 16.2% (p < 0.05). Muscle strength increased by 32.2% (p < 0.05), speed and strength endurance and speed endurance increased by 31.5% and 49.1%, respectively (p < 0.05). Exercises targeting coordination abilities lead to improvements in balance ability of women as assessed by the Romberg test (increase by 94.0%, p < 0.05) and by the Flamingo test (increase by 65.6%, p < 0.05). Conclusions. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the combined exercise program according to selected criteria. There were significant (p < 0.05) positive changes in physical condition components including physical development, physical fitness, functional state of the cardiorespiratory system and in body balance.
