Differentiation of physical education lessons by body mass index of schoolchildren

Background: Many methodological problems associated in a sports and fitness environment based on a differentiated approach remain beyond the interest of researchers and developers. The aim of the study was to differentiate physical education classes in school in terms of the individual body mass index of schoolchildren and experimentally prove the effectiveness of its implementation for the harmonious development of youth. Study participants: schoolchildren 15-17 years (n = 64). All the schoolchildren were divided into four groups using the method of body mass index (BMI). Interventions: Pedagogical research was carried out for 7 months at school. The study used tests "Ready for work and defense", BMI, body health indicator and cognitive rate. Main outcome measures. In schoolchildren from the groups (EG1 and EG2), differentiated by BMI for physical education classes, the results on physical qualities improved: endurance and dexterity (p < .05). In CG1, where there was no differentiation, during the experiment 3 schoolchildren with overweight added. Thanks to the experimental intervention in EG1, the schoolchildren kept their initial BMI normal. Separate education of schoolchildren has a positive effect on the cognitive abilities of schoolchildren: comparison of EG1 and CG1 (p < .01), comparison of EG2 and CG2 (p < .05). Findings. The study showed the effectiveness of the BMI in differentiating of youth into groups. If the differentiating physical education at school to indicators of BMI, it will significantly improve the performance of physical and cognitive abilities schoolchildren 15-17 years old and reduce obesity of youth

Individual system of self-monitoring of the daily motor activity of athletes

Background: The implementation of daily and weekly self-control of individual motor activity, consisting of various speed modes, is not a systematically studied issue. The aim of the study was to develop an individually-differentiated system of self-monitoring of daily physical activity of athletes to increase their motor regime and prove its effectiveness by increasing the level of physical development and health of participants in the experiment. Study participants: Thirty-two subjects from 18 to 25 years of age, engaged for 12 weeks at the Sports Club “Progress”(Glazov, Russia). Interventions: self-monitoring by the participants of this research on a ranking system for diverse types of physical exercises by their correlation to one ordinary step or author's motor unit. Main outcome measures: the author’s self-monitoring system contributes to lowering the body mass index of athletes and developing their endurance. However, its implementation is effective in increasing the level of physical health only among athletes, stably, systematically and without significant deviations in the level of weekly physical activity performing physical activity. The results of the study. the implementation of daily monitoring of motor activity of young people in various motor modes stimulates respondents to increase their motor daily, weekly and monthly activity. Findings. The author’s recommendations for the implementation of continuous self-monitoring will provide feedback to the user of the programme, increase motivation for setting individual goals of amateur athletes and strategies for their further achievement

Background: The training process to develop the strength of athletes on street exercise simulators with a variable load for powerlifting is not a systematically studied problem. The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of systematic training on street simulators with a variable load on the strength indicators of women and men in powerlifting. Study participants: athletes from 20 to 35 years old (n = 48), engaged in powerlifting at least four times a week, divided into groups: women (n = 24) and men (n = 24). Interventions: Implementation of systematic exercises for women and men in powerlifting on street exercise simulators with variable load for five months. For the performance diagnosis, the powerlifter coefficient (Pl) was applied: (bench press + sed + deadlift) / athlete's mass in kilograms. Main outcome measures: the experiment revealed a positive result in increasing the strength of men (p .05) in increasing the strength in women between the control and experimental groups. Based on an individual comparison of each participant in the experimental group, it was revealed that the implementation of the street training process is significantly (p < .01) more effective in increasing strength in men with a Pl coefficient below the average (< 3.53). Findings. The data obtained are especially valuable in the condition of the activation of street fitness among women and men in the conditions of the closure of gyms caused by the regime of self-isolation during the spread of COVID-19

Realization of step exercises using the independent calorimetry during the period of self-isolation

Background: In home conditions population of Russian Federation do not have an opportunity to do optimal physical activities during the period of spreading COVID-19. The aim of the study was to develop a system of realization step exercises in home conditions using the independent calorimetry during the period regime of self-isolation and to prove its effectiveness on the indicators of body mass index of the people. Study participants: 62 women and men between the ages of 18 and 45 who have problems with being overweight. Interventions: The study was being conducted in home conditions during 60 days. During the experiment the participants independently carried out the calorimetry, taking into account the consumed calories during the day and burning kilocalories while doing step exercises and another physical activity. For carrying out the calorimetry during the day a formula was developed due to available and simple counting: «N = 0.00168 - 0.098/P», where N - the amount of burning kilocalories per one heartbeat per one kg of body mass, P - heart rate per minute. Main outcome measures: It is defined out that the introduction of step exercises in home conditions with the use of independent calorimetry to the author's system has made a significant impact (p < .05) on body mass index of participants. Findings. In the presented study, for the first time, the regularities of increasing the burning of kilocalories in people at various levels of intensity depending on their body weight were experimentally revealed
