Physical culture between rationalism and theoanthropocentrism

This article presents the main results of work on the study of the issue of the historical process of improving knowledge about the influence of physical activity of a person on the level of his mental health. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific information presented in modern domestic and foreign literary sources, the conclusion was substantiated that the historical process of improving knowledge about human nature and his mental activity in recent years has reached the highest level of development. The study of the long-term experience of scientists in many countries of the world gives grounds to assert that the beginning of the process of targeted study of the effect of physical activity on human mental functions was laid back in the last century. However, scientists have achieved the most outstanding results in this area of scientific research in recent decades. The historical need for in-depth research in this scientific direction was maturing gradually and was due to the peculiarities of the course of scientific and technological progress in general. Due to the fact that it was in recent decades that many discoveries were made, which formed the basis of modern methods for studying the physiological state of a person and his intellectual functions, there was obvious progress in the study of the mental health of persons whose central nervous system works under conditions of extreme intellectual and psycho-emotional stress. Scientists working in the field of physical education and sports, in collaboration with scientists in the field of education and health, have significantly intensified their joint activities and developed modern complexes of measures aimed at studying the mental health of students and representatives of the teaching staff of state institutions of higher education. This contingent of the subjects was not chosen by chance. The fact is that the learning process in higher education institutions is associated with intense loads on the central nervous system of both students and teachers, as well as on some of their senses (in particular, on the visual and auditory analyzers).

Earth, man, heaven: The spiritual aspects of physical exercise

Živković¹

2020

SummaryNew scientific discoveries in the quantum physics give us possibility in a new way to perceive the relation between physical exercise and the Christian theology of creation, in accordance with the basic hypotheses of the theoanthropocentric theory of the development of physical culture. Man’s role in the world, especially in his motion, is to mediate, that is to be agent of connecting or bridge between the creation and its Creator. Motion is the reflection of human intellectual, emotional and spiritual condition, and body is a tool for the realization of harmony among them. It is therefore an instrument of love to God, in mutual giving and acceptance in which the field of all creation is actuated.

The materials of this article present data obtained from numerous sources of scientific information, and devoted to the study of some factors that influenced the development of Olympic education in the historical aspect. Based on the analysis of modern domestic and foreign literary sources, the conclusion was substantiated that the process of historical development of the Olympic education system in many countries of the world took place in different ways. The need to systematize information related to this area of scientific research was caused by the need to study the patterns of development of Olympic education in different countries in order to improve it at the global level. Many of the scientists who work in the field of physical education and sports have come to the conclusion that Olympic education can have a significant impact on some areas of people's lives in modern society. It is important that in the course of education and training of various categories of specialists for the field of physical education and sports (athletes, coaches, instructors, rehabilitators), the course on Olympic education plays an extremely important role. But for a deep understanding of the question of what essence the modern system of Olympic education has, it is necessary to know well how it was improved in the course of the historical development of mankind. A separate research work was devoted to the study of this particular issue, which lasted two and a half years and based on the results of which this article was prepared.
