The influence of means of orienteering on the psychophysiological state of girls aged 15-16-years

Abstract

The article presents the results of a pedagogical experiment that lasted during 2016-2017 academic year, 52 girls aged 15-16years took part in the study. According to the purpose of the study, it was revealed the influence of means of orienteering within the framework of the author's program of physical education on the psychophysiological state of girls aged 15-16 years. We found that during the pedagogical experiment, the positive dynamics of the majority of the studied indicators was observed. The indicators of the functional state, in particular, of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, were significantly improved. In the15-yearold girls the heart rate at rest decreased by 12.7 % (p<0.01), in the 16 year-old girls-by 11.1 % (p<0.01); the average indicators of the vital capacity of the lungs increased in the girls aged 15 years by 8.0 % (р<0.01), in the girls aged 16 years-by 22.2 % (р<0.01). The average statistical parameters of the Genchi test also were improved significantly, in the girls aged 15 years by 14.6 % (p<0.01), in the girls aged 16 years by 11.8 % (p<0.01). In addition, positive changes occurred in the indicators that characterize cognitive functions. It was significantly improved the short-term memory capacity: in the girls aged 15 and 16 years by 15.3 % (p<0.01) and by 15.5 % (p<0.01), respectively. The information processing capacity increased in the girls aged 15 years by 22.1 % (p<0.01), in the girls aged 16 years-by 29.8 % (p<0.01). Among the motor qualities, the parameters of the sharpened Romberg test have undergone the most positive changes, as in the case

“…Additional important area of related studies focuses on poor health condition in children and adolescents, in Ukraine in particular. This fact is proved by recent studies in: low functional indicators (Bolotin & Bakayev, 2017;Butenko et al 2017;Paliichuk et al 2018); adaptive-backup capabilities . Also, the results of the national research conducted by Pavlova et al (2018) confirmed the fact that Ukrainian students have an average or below-average level of cardiorespiratory system health.…”

“…Orienteering, unlike many other types, offers great opportunities for students. The absence of the need to build special facilities, high emotional attractiveness, conducting outdoor activities, ordinary sportswear and footwear make it possible to successfully use this sport in different parts of Ukraine (Korol, 2013;Kirihianen, 2014;Berezovsky, 2016;Khimenes, 2016;Paliichuk, 2018;Sirakov, 2018;Leonenko, 2019). Orienteering as a type of motor activity, combines cross-country running with mental activity, has several advantages, since it is a means of developing not only physical but also intellectual abilities of schoolchildren.…”
