Features of the physical condition and physical activity of teenage girls 12-13 years old

Abstract

The article presents the results of assessment of indicators of physical condition, such as: physical development, physical fitness, physical efficiency, health and motor activity of teenage girls 12-13 years old. Research methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, anthropometry, pedagogical research methods, sociological research methods, methods of mathematical statistics. 40 teenage girls aged 12-13 years took part in the study. Average statistical indicators of physical development correspond to age norms. Express assessment of physical fitness indicates that 25% of girls have a lower than average level, 60% have an average level, and 15% have a higher than average level. It was established that the majority of teenage girls have a tolerable (75%) and average (25%) level of physical fitness. In the vast majority of teenage girls, a low (40%) and lower than average (40%) level of physical health was found. Among girls aged 12-13 years moderate motor activity is dominant, which was recorded in 55% of the participants of the experiment. A high level of motor activity was characteristic of only 15% of girls aged 12-13 years, a low level was 30%, which indicates the need to find optimal ways to involve adolescent girls in specially organized motor activity. Prospects for further research are to determine the types of fitness that are the most attractive for teenage girls aged 12-13 and to identify approaches that contribute to their involvement in specially organized physical activity.
