Application of wrestling strength and speed exercises during the physical education of military students

Abstract

Physical training in educational institutions with enhanced military and physical focus is a purposeful controlled process of physical improvement of future servicemen, which is carried out taking into account the peculiarities of their military and professional activities. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the state of development of students’ physical skills and, on this basis, to develop recommendations for improving the process of physical education. Those points determined the relevance of our study. Purpose. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the use of wrestling strength and speed exercises during physical education of military students at the lyceum with enhanced military and physical training. Methods. There were used methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The results of pedagogical experiment indicated that experimental program of physical training was more effective than the traditional one. In experimental group the average increase of functional test results at the end of experiment was 10.7%, in control group – 6.1%. Most of the changes were significant in both groups (p≤0.05–0.001). The average increase in physical fitness in experimental group was 31.6%, while in control group it was 24.7%. The results of the most tests were also reliable in both groups (p≤0.05–0.001). The indexes of preparedness (speed, speed and strength, strength, endurance index) at the end of experiment also had a higher average growth in experimental group (3.5%) in comparison with control group (1.7%). The obtained results were confirmed statistically in both groups (p≤0.05–0.001). Conclusions. The results of experiment illustrated that the use of wrestling strength and speed exercises in the physical education of students at the Lyceum with enhanced military and physical training was more effective and provided positive changes in physical qualities.
