ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CRIMEAN TEAM AT THE ALL-UNION SPARTAKIAD OF 1928
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the results of the performance of the Crimean team at the All-Union Spartakiad in 1928.
Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific-methodological literature, archival materials, and periodicals from the examined period.
Research results and conclusions. It has been established that the low overall tenth place among the teams from the districts of the RSFSR was due to the lack of experience among Crimean athletes in participating in large competitions, as well as the weak level of personnel and material support for the physical culture sector in the republic. The commendable results in several disciplines (swimming, athletics, tennis, football) indicated a significant potential for the development of physical culture and sports in Crimea and were of great importance for this sector on the peninsula in the following years.

THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDICATORS OF BODY-MOTOR AND SCREEN-DIGITAL EXPERIENCE AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN AND STUDENTS
Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the life experiences of children and adolescents are significantly shifting towards prolonged engagement with various screens.
The purpose of the study is to ascertain the nature of the relationship between the indicators of body-motor experience and screen-digital experience among schoolchildren and students.
Research methods and organization: survey (questionnaire), dispersion analysis. A closed-type questionnaire was used, containing questions to which respondents provided responses characterizing their body-motor and screen-digital experiences on a 10-point scale (from 0 to 9 points). A total of 89 indicators were determined. The participants in the study included high school students from grades 9 to 11 and undergraduate students from the 2nd to 3rd years, as well as 1st-year master's students of SSUS.
Research results and conclusions. The conducted study demonstrated that over 70% of respondents spend more than 3 hours a day in front of various screens (computers, smartphones, etc.). The average age at which they began using electronic gadgets is approximately 9 years. Male participants statistically spend significantly more time playing computer games that are of a sports or aggressive nature. More than 40% of schoolchildren and students report experiencing unusual bodily sensations and altered states of consciousness. For this group of respondents, it is characteristic that their motor skills (endurance and agility), spatial orientation, and peripheral vision are less developed; their body-motor experiences in childhood contributed less to their self-understanding, and they spend more time on the computer.

PROGRAM FOR FORMING PERCEPTIONS OF THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT AMONG OLDER PRESCHOOLERS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to enhance the process of Olympic education by utilizing an algorithm for the formation of knowledge about the Olympic movement among older preschool children.
Research methods and organization. Literature analysis on the selected topic; analysis of official documents; pedagogical experiments; pedagogical observations of the educational and upbringing process, as well as the play activities of older preschoolers and their parents aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the developed program; testing; and methods of mathematical statistics were employed. The developed program for forming notions about the Olympic movement among older preschoolers was tested at the Municipal Autonomous Preschool Educational Institution "Child Development Center," kindergarten No. 167 "Rodnichok" in Khabarovsk over a period of 8 months, from October 2023 to May 2024. The experimental program was built on a combination of various methods and forms of activities with children. It included: theoretical classes dedicated to Olympic themes; presentations on outstanding athletes; a 'virtual museum' that allows for an exploration of the history of the ancient Olympic Games; musical sessions that unveil the world of music and songs that resonated during home Olympiads; drawing classes to reinforce knowledge about the symbols of the Olympics; as well as video screenings demonstrating the grandeur of the Olympic Games; 'Olympic lessons' with the involvement of students from FESAPC, quizzes, physical education activities, and a theatrical celebration titled 'Mini Olympic Games.' All topics within the Olympic block were distributed across the months and included in the thematic plan.
Research results and conclusions. After conducting the experiment, a positive trend in the change of knowledge levels among older preschoolers regarding the Olympic movement was observed. Weak knowledge ('low level') was demonstrated by 5% of the children, 'average level' was identified in 35%, and 'high level' was found in 60% of preschoolers. The results obtained allow for a conclusion about the effectiveness of the implemented program, as evidenced by the significant increase in children's knowledge on the proposed topics, and it also heightened the interest of preschoolers and their parents in physical culture activities.

ASSESSMENT OF FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE MOTIVATION OF STUDENTS IN PREPARATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to assess the factors that primarily determine the motivation of students in secondary schools when preparing to meet the regulatory requirements of the "Ready for Labor and Defense" (GTO) program.
Research methods and organization. The basic method is a survey conducted with students of the 4th, 8th, and 10th grades of one of the schools in the Sverdlovsk region. The survey was conducted using two questionnaires. The first included questions related to assessing students' awareness of the general principles of the GTO complex (the purpose for which the complex was created, its target orientation; basic testing methodologies and physical qualities evaluated by them, etc.). The questions of the second questionnaire were related to studying students' knowledge of their own results and their compliance with the normative requirements of the GTO complex.
Research results and conclusions. It has been established that the overwhelming majority of students, both in junior and senior classes, lack elementary knowledge regarding the intended purpose of the GTO complex, its content (test methodologies), and regulatory requirements. Most students are unable to relate their results to the regulatory standards, making it impossible to transfer externally set indicators into a personally meaningful context for the students. It is recommended, firstly, to enhance the theoretical and educational component in physical education classes aimed at acquiring knowledge about the content and structure of the GTO complex and its regulatory basis. Secondly, in the process of preparing students to meet the standards of the complex, conditions should be created that provide participants with regular information about the results achieved.

THE DIRECTION OF THE CONTENT OF SUBJECT TRAINING TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE INDICATORS OF THE TEMPO-RHYTHMIC STRUCTURE OF THE HULA HOOP AROUND THE NECK
Abstract
At the current stage of development in competitive rhythmic gymnastics routines, there is a problem of discrepancy between the character of the musical accompaniment and the handling of the apparatus, which hinders athletes from demonstrating coordinated work with the apparatus to the music and creating an artistic image. In this regard, it is relevant to study the tempo-rhythmic structure of the techniques for elements with apparatus, optimizing the process of mastering and reproducing movements to various types of musical accompaniment.
The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate the indicators that determine the accuracy of reproducing the rhythmic pattern of music while performing a hoop rotation around the neck in rhythmic gymnastics.
Research methods and organization. The study employed a combination of methods: analysis of specialized literature and program documents, pedagogical testing, non-contact analysis of video sequences of movements, electromyography, and methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 12 highly qualified female athletes from the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health. A video recording of a 'hula hoop' around the neck was made with musical accompaniment from P.I. Tchaikovsky's children's album, while registering the electrical activity of the main muscle groups. Using the licensed software Adobe Premiere Pro, the musical accompaniment was synchronized with the video recording, and the deviations of the technical actions of the subject from the rhythm, as well as their kinematic characteristics, were determined. Correlation analysis revealed the main determinants of the quality of musical rhythm reproduction in the subject's movements.
Research results and conclusions. The obtained data allowed for the identification of the direction of the content of subject training, taking into account the established indicators of the tempo-rhythmic structure of the hoop rotation around the neck in rhythmic gymnastics.

PREDICTORS OF THE CURRENT PSYCHOPHYSICAL READINESS FOR THE GAME OF STUDENT BASKETBALL TEAMS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify indicators that would have a significant impact on the organism, be energetically maximally demanding, while, on the other hand, not causing substantial shifts in the athlete's condition over an extended period.
Research methods and organization. Testing was conducted, which included movement in defense, a 20-meter run, shuttle run, and high jump. During the testing, the time taken to complete the tasks and heart rate (before the test, after its completion, and during four minutes of recovery) were recorded, and the pulse debt accumulation intensity index (PDAI) was calculated. After the testing, a regression analysis was performed to determine the relationships between test results (completion time and load index based on heart rate dynamics) and points scored in the games.
Research results and conclusions. Indicators reflecting the current psychophysical readiness of basketball players on college teams for the game have been identified, without causing fatigue and ensuring high predictive characteristics. The heart rate (HR) of players during the performance of technical-tactical actions in the men's team within the framework of ASB Championship matches has been established. The dynamics of HR and the 'cost' of technical-tactical actions of basketball players have been analyzed both in defense and attack. The results of the regression analysis of the testing data demonstrated a correlation between the number of points scored and the time indicators for completing the tests, which can be utilized in the development of a predictive model for assessing the probability of success in the game. The obtained results underscore the importance of considering the game situation when planning the training process and assessing athletes' readiness for competitions. This study may serve as a foundation for further developments in the preparation of basketball players and enhancing their effectiveness on the court.

Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the relative contribution of each component of specialized training in martial artists of different qualifications.
Research methods and organization. The study involved athletes aged 18-26, ranging from novices to masters of sport. The average group weight of weightlifters was 80.5 kg, while for arm wrestlers it was 75.5 kg. To determine the specific weight of each of the components of the special preparedness of martial artists of varying qualifications, an educational testing procedure was conducted. Three tests assessed the level of strength training of athletes with different qualifications. Each of the three tests was performed twice - with weights and without, from which a coefficient for the strength or speed component was calculated.
Research results and conclusions. The results of the study indicated that in weightlifters, as their sporting skill increases, the rate of growth of the strength component of the leg muscles prevails over the growth of the speed component of the arm muscles. In arm wrestlers, as their sporting skill increases, the rates of growth of the speed component of the arm muscles prevail over the growth of the strength component of the leg muscles.

MORPHOMETRIC FEATURES OF WOMEN SPECIALIZING IN TRACK AND FIELD ALL-AROUND AND POLYATHLON
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the main morphometric characteristics and explore their relationship with sports results in the heptathlon and pentathlon based on the total points scored.
Research methods and organization. The athletes (Master of Sports of International Class, Master of Sports, Candidate for Master of Sports, and 1st category), with a sports experience ranging from 7 to 15 years, were examined, with an average age of 21 years. A unified anthropometric methodology adopted by the D.N. Anuchin Institute of Anthropology was employed. The primary components of body weight and size were recorded. Body weight components were calculated using the formulas of Czech researcher Matejka. Measurements were conducted during the competitive period, on the eve of the start in heptathlon or summer polyathlon. The result of each athlete (the total score attained) was also recorded. Conventional methods of variational statistics were used in processing the obtained data. The relationship between the characteristics was determined using pair correlation methods.
Research results and conclusions. It has been established that women specializing in the heptathlon and pentathlon have a similar body length to high jumpers, long shins like hurdlers, long upper limbs comparable to javelin throwers, and body circumference measurements akin to the strongest athletic group among female athletes. An analysis of the relationship between athletic performance in combined events and body composition indicators revealed that these morphological traits are significantly correlated with the level of athletic performance and can serve as a valuable criterion for assessing the readiness of female athletes for competitions. It is recommended that multi-event athletes regularly undergo morphological assessments, monitor the effectiveness of their training sessions, and observe the dynamics of changes in body fat and muscle components throughout the macrocycle.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPING SKILLS IN THE USE OF OBJECTS IN RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE COORDINATION PROFILE OF EXERCISES
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the challenges that arise in the development of object mastery skills in rhythmic gymnastics, taking into account the coordination structure of the exercises as observed in the training process.
Research methods and organization. A comprehensive set of methods was employed to achieve the objectives of the research: analysis of specialized literature and a survey in the form of questionnaires. The survey involved highly qualified specialists in rhythmic gymnastics from various cities in Russia.
Research results and conclusions. Despite the extensive material in scientific and methodological literature regarding rational and irrational techniques of object manipulation, as well as the physical qualities necessary for this fundamental skill, there is a lack of research aimed at optimizing and individualizing training based on an understanding of the role of various components of gymnasts' coordination preparedness. Analysis has shown that coaches do not have a clear understanding of the percentage ratios (or priorities) in developing different coordination abilities within the context of forming fundamental object manipulation skills. The need has been identified to study the coordination profile of exercises for each apparatus (hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon, jump rope), as each apparatus imposes specific requirements on certain types of coordination abilities. The obtained data allowed for the determination of the focus of coordination and technical object-related training content for young gymnasts, as well as the identification of the set of corrective exercises and methodological techniques for developing the fundamental object manipulation skills.

ASSESSMENT OF THE HEALTH STATUS OF FEMALE STUDENTS ENGAGED IN SPORTS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among female students enrolled in full-time education at the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health.
Research methods and organization. The survey involved a self-assessment by female students regarding the impact of sports activities on their health levels. The participants were female students, aged between 18 and 20 years, who actively engaged in sports, with athletic qualifications ranging from first adult category to Master of Sports. An author-developed questionnaire was used, and anthropometric measurements of the body were conducted.
Research results and conclusions. Sports activity generally has a positive effect on the overall health of female athletes. However, continuing training in a state of illness, disrupting dietary patterns, and facing difficulties in balancing studies and sports requires close attention to the development of a schedule for educational and training activities, to the adjustment of their content considering health status, and to motivating students to take responsibility for their own health. The results obtained will assist universities in addressing issues aimed at improving the health of young athletes and the population of the country as a whole.

DEFINITION OF THE LINEARITY AND ROBUSTNESS OF THE JUDGING SYSTEMS CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN DANCE SPORT
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the linearity and robustness of contemporary judging systems in dance sport.
Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were employed, along with pedagogical observation and methods of mathematical statistics. For the analysis, the results of competitions in the discipline of '10 dances' were used, as competitions in this discipline provide the most detailed statistics.
Research results and conclusions. The results showed that the 'Absolute Judging System' fully meets the requirements of linearity and robustness, which is confirmed by the high value of the approximation reliability coefficient R2 for the intermediate rounds both with final results and between the rounds themselves. The use of the 'for' and 'against' principle does not constitute a complete judging system, as it does not align with the principles of linearity and robustness, which renders it incapable of accurately ranking athletes in the intermediate rounds, as judges focus on pairs that they believe should advance further.

PEDAGOGICAL METHOD OF INFLUENCING THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS OF HAMMER THROWERS THROUGH THE USE OF ELASTIC TRAINING EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential for altering the physical fitness indicators of hammer throwers when performing rotational motor actions in training under conditions of vertical elastic connection (VEC).
Research methods and organization. High-speed spatial video cyclography, dynamography, pedagogical experiments, and methods of mathematical statistics were used. The research was conducted in China over a period of 4 months with hammer throwers predominantly of the 2nd sports category.
Research results and conclusions. It has been demonstrated that it is possible to achieve targeted changes in the physical fitness indicators of athletes, particularly in the preferential development of speed and speed-strength qualities in throwers, with a predominant increase in speed-strength indicators. In attempts to throw the hammer, shortly after training sessions involving vertical elastic connection, it was shown that the release speed of the hammer significantly increased, the angular velocity of the hammer's rotation increased, while the angle of release of the hammer remained unchanged.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF PAIRS IN ADULT CATEGORIES IN ACROBATIC ROCK AND ROLL BASED ON HEIGHT MEASUREMENTS AT AN EARLY AGE
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the potential of pairs in the adult categories of acrobatic rock and roll based on the measurement of height at an early age.
Research methods and organization. The study was conducted at the Sports and Dance Club of Acrobatic Rock and Roll "Top Dance" in several stages. At the first stage, 6 pairs aged between 8 and 11 years were selected, and their height, weight, and chest circumference were measured. At the second stage, the growth forecast for this sample of athletes was calculated using three different growth calculators. This tool allows for predicting adult height based on the child's current height. At the third stage, the model characteristics of athletes of 'M-class' (developed by Terekhin V.S., Eustafyev D.A., Kalinin A.V.) were taken, and based on them, the prospects for the development of the studied pairs were calculated.
Research results and conclusions. It has been determined that 1-3 pairs out of six are potentially expected to have the required weight and height difference in the future. Three pairs potentially have low prospects in this composition in elite sports due to a small height difference. This assessment method has proven satisfactory at this stage of the research. The necessity of conducting such measurements on a larger sample and tracking athletes throughout their sports careers has been justified.

Abstract
The complexities of organizing sensorimotor coordination in learners with autism spectrum disorders, caused by the underdevelopment of fine differentiated movements and the disruption of coordination in complexly organized motor acts, necessitate the search for and introduction of technologies from adaptive physical culture into the educational process. These technologies are organized based on a complex of improvisational exercises used in dance therapy. To develop and overcome the challenges associated with the formation of the communicative-cognitive sphere in learners with autism spectrum disorders, a complex of improvisational exercises and adaptive physical culture is employed, which can be utilized in various dance combinations with students with ASD.
The purpose of the study is to develop and implement the program "Dancing for Health" based on the integration of dance therapy technology into the adaptive physical culture for students with autism spectrum disorders.
Research methods and organization. An analysis of scientific and methodological literature was employed, along with a pedagogical experiment. The work on integrating sports and health-related extracurricular activities with the psychological service at the center was organized experimentally, which included the program "Dancing for Health".
Research results and conclusions. The developed program "Dancing for Health" has been tested in the educational process with students aged 10-18 years who have autism spectrum disorders at the State Budgetary Educational Institution School No. 755 "Regional Autism Center" in the Vasileostrovsky district of St. Petersburg. It has been proven that the regular conduct of classes under the "Dancing for Health" program not only contributes to the formation of coordination of complex motor acts based on a set of improvisation exercises used in dance therapy technology in adaptive physical culture, but also creates favorable conditions for the development of the elementary communicative-emotional sphere and imagination among students with autism spectrum disorders at various levels of intellectual development.

FEATURES OF PHYSICAL CONDITION AND PSYCHOMOTOR ABILITIES IN SITTING VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the features of physical condition and psychomotor abilities in sitting volleyball players.
Research methods and organization. The study involved 9 men engaged in sitting volleyball, with an average age of 36.3±8.4 years. To assess their physical condition, the hardware-software complex "Omega.Sport" was used, which allowed for the determination of the following parameters: level of adaptation to physical loads, physical fitness, energy supply, psycho-emotional state, and athletic form. The "NS-Psychotest" system was used to study psychomotor abilities, through which sensory-motor functions such as attention and reaction speed were evaluated, which are crucial for the successful execution of game actions.
Research results and conclusions. The obtained data indicated that the level of adaptation to physical loads was 61.1±32.0%, the level of training was 66.9±30.1%, and the level of energy supply was 56.6±25.8%. The psycho-emotional state averaged 57.8±24.9%, which highlights the need to focus on this aspect within the training process. It was also established that psychomotor indicators, such as reaction to a moving object, reaction time, and volumetric attention, are at an average level, with a notable high variability of data among athletes. The results of the study demonstrate that physical condition and psychomotor abilities are crucial for achieving high performance in sitting volleyball players. The high variability of indicators among athletes confirms the necessity of an individualized approach in the training process to enhance the effectiveness of sports training.

EXPERIENCE AND CHALLENGES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MASTER'S PROGRAM IN THE FIELD OF "PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HEALTH DEVIATIONS"
Abstract
The article analyzes the experience of training master's students in the field of 'Physical Education for Individuals with Health Deviations (Adaptive Physical Culture)'. It demonstrates that the organized work of the Department of Health-Improving Physical Culture and Adaptive Sports, which includes a specially developed plan of activities, allows for the achievement of the set objectives in the education of master's students.
The purpose of the study was to identify the issues that are the underlying causes of the main difficulties in ensuring a high level of education in the master's program in the field of 49.04.02
Research methods and organization. The analysis of academic performance and attendance at classes was applied, along with a survey method. A total of 40 individuals were surveyed, including graduates and students in the master's program in the field of training 49.04.02 at the Department of Health-Improving Physical Culture and Adaptive Sports of the Institute of Physical Culture and Sports of the Herzen State Pedagogical University.
Research results and conclusions. A survey of master's students indicates that most applicants who entered the master's program in the field of 49.04.02 do not understand the specifics of physical education and sports work with individuals with disabilities. Online exams do not allow for the selection of applicants capable of mastering the master's program at the required level. The low level of readiness and motivation for research activities among master's students, along with an inadequate assessment of their abilities to conduct scientific inquiry, are the main reasons for the challenges in ensuring a high level of education in the master's program in the field of 49.04.02. In this regard, there is a need for the government to pay close attention to the identified issues affecting the quality of training for master's students.

THE STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF SPECIALIZED STATUS OF A SCHOOL CLASS ON THE WELL-BEING OF STUDENTS (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE YUNARMIYA MOVEMENT)
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of the specialized status of a school class (using the example of the Yunarmiya movement) on the psychological well-being of students.
Research methods and organization. The questionnaire developed by Bochaev, Korneev, and Khlomov was used to assess subjective insecurity, antisocial behavior, and the well-being of students at school. The study involved 30 students, evenly distributed between the Yunarmiya and regular classes.
Research results and conclusions. It has been established that students in the Yunarmiya class exhibit a lower level of antisocial behavior, but a higher level of perceived insecurity. Simultaneously, the level of school well-being has proven to be identical for both groups. The specialized status of the class may have both positive and negative effects on the psychological well-being of the students. An increased focus on discipline in specialized classes does not always contribute to their perceived safety.

THE SUCCESS AND CONFLICTOLOGICAL COMPETENCE OF AN EDUCATOR, AND THEIR INTERRELATION
Abstract
In the modern educational process, the issue of conflictological competencies among educators is of great significance. The key quality of a new type of educator is professional competence, readiness for innovative activities, and the ability to act swiftly and productively in the rapidly changing conditions of the educational system.
The purpose of the study is to identify the conflictological competencies of general education school teachers in the city of Moscow as one of the factors contributing to the success of educators.
Research methods and organization. The study was conducted based on an average general education school in Moscow using empirical methods (psychological testing and expert surveys) and mathematical statistics methods.
Research results and conclusions. A correlation has been identified between conflictological competence and the success of educators in their professional activities. In particular, educators with a high level of conflictological competence are characterized by a high level of success and vice versa. Furthermore, the conflictological competence of a teacher is manifested not only in conflict prevention but also in managing conflicts for pedagogical purposes.
