Вплив авторської програми фізичної підготовки на спортивні результати команд з військового п’ятиборства

Purpose. To develop and scientifically substantiate the methodology of special physical and technical-tactical training of boys aged 14-15 years who are engaged in mixed martial arts. Material and methods. The following research methods were used to solve the tasks: theoretical analysis and synthesis of literary sources on the problem under study, pedagogical testing, pedagogical observations, the method of expert assessments, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The study was conducted at the mixed martial arts club «Ludus» in Cherkasy. Cherkasy from September 2023 to October 2024. 30 sportsmen (16 in the experimental and 14 in the control group) aged 14-15 years old who had experience of training 5-6 years took part in the research. The athletes of the control group trained according to the generally accepted methodology, and the young men of the experimental group according to the developed methodology, which included the use of learned technical actions in various combat situations with active opposition from the enemy. For this purpose, the training process included competitive (sparring) exercises with a specific task for each athlete, acting as the «first» or «second» number, respectively. To improve the technique of kicking, exercises on a coordination ladder, exercises with a rubber expander and stuffed balls were used. Auxiliary exercises for increasing the power of kicks included exercises with weighting for the legs. Results. The results of the pedagogical experiment showed that the experimental methodology significantly improves the quality and level of assimilation of the program material by athletes. As a result, the level of indicators of specially physical and technical and tactical preparedness has significantly increased. So, during the experiment the force of a blow by a hand of sportsmen of the control group increased by 2 kg, and at sportsmen of the experimental group by 23 kg. The force of a kick in the control group increased by 10 kg, and in the experimental group by 26 kg. The result of a long jump from a place in sportsmen of the control group increased by 15,3 cm, and in the experimental group by 26,1 cm. At the beginning of the experiment the results of shuttle running of sportsmen of the control and experimental groups practically did not differ (the difference was 0,1s), at the end of the experiment this difference is 0,4 s. These differences are statistically significant (p<0,05). During the experiment, the number of jumps over a rope in 1 minute increased in the control group by 10 times, and in the experimental group by 19,5 times. In both cases the differences are statistically significant (p<0,05). At the beginning of the pedagogical experiment the level of technical and tactical preparedness of sportsmen of the experimental and control groups according to the results of experts' assessment practically did not differ. The number of sportsmen with a high level in the experimental group was 12,5 %, and in the control group 14,3 %. During the experiment period, this number increased in the experimental group by 25,0 %, and in the control group only by 7,1 %. The number of sportsmen with an average level of fitness in the experimental group increased significantly by 12,5 %, in the control group - by 7,2 %. Accordingly, the number of young sportsmen with a low level of technical and tactical fitness decreased during the experiment. Their number decreased by 37,5 % in the experimental group and by 14,3 % in the control group. Such significant changes in the level of technical and tactical fitness of sportsmen during the experiment are significant. All this confirms the effectiveness of the proposed approaches to the organization and content of the educational and training process for 14-15 years old who are engaged in mixed martial arts. Conclusions. The approbation of the experimental methodology of training of young sportsmen showed its high efficiency in the increase of indicators of specially physical and technical-tactical preparedness. As a result of the pedagogical experiment there is an increase of all studied indicators in both groups. However, this increase is statistically significant in the experimental group.

Background and Aim: The research examines how specific physical fitness training improves tennis skills in primary school students in Guangzhou, focusing on strength and flexibility components. The research objectives were (1) to compare the effects of a specific fitness training program on improving tennis skills in primary school students between experimental and control groups. (2) to compare the effects of a specific physical fitness training program within the experimental group, pretest, midtest, and posttest. (3) to develop a specific physical fitness training program to improve primary school students' tennis skills. Materials and Methods: This study was quasi-experimental research that used simple random sampling of subjects, who were 60 tennis students from the tennis club at Guangzhou Zhenguang Primary School. They were divided into the control and experimental groups with systematic sampling based on tennis skills score, each group with 30 people. They were pretested with tennis skills and specific fitness, and then the specific physical fitness training was conducted for the experimental group for an 8-week training duration, 3 days each week, and 120 minutes each session, and the normal training was conducted in the control group. Then posttest after training for week 4, 8. The mean and standard deviation, t-test, independent, one-way ANOVA repeated measurement, and Bonferroni post hoc were conducted for data analysis with the computer statistic package. Results: The results found that (1) the mean comparison of tennis skills and specific fitness between experimental and control groups was significantly different (* p <.05). (2) Mean comparison within the experimental group on tennis skills and specific fitness, all variables pairwise with pretest, midtest, and posttest showed a significant difference (*P<.05). (3) The specific physical fitness training was highly effective, content validity was 89, and exercise drill, training load, and recovery time were appropriate for training. Conclusion: The specific fitness training program significantly improved tennis skills and fitness levels in primary school students. The experimental group showed notable improvements in forehand/backhand skills, stroke speed, and specific physical fitness measures (push-ups, sit-ups, wall squats, sit-and-reach) compared to the control group, confirming the program's effectiveness.

The Relevance of the Research topic lies in the current stage of development of physical education in schools, characterized by the need to update content, constant search for effective methods to develop physical qualities, and the integration of innovations into physical education classes and extracurricular activities. One such innovation is aerial acrobatics and pole sports, which have gained popularity as forms of motor activity influencing students' interest in physical exercise and the development of physical qualities. The Purpose and Methods of the Research were to experimentally assess the impact of a comprehensive physical and technical training program in aerial acrobatics and pole sports on flexibility and power endurance development. The study employed analysis and synthesis of literature, pedagogical experimentation, and methods of mathematical statistics. The Results revealed improvements in flexibility indicators during «Bridge» exercises, changing from 45,07±5,42 cm to 37,13±3,79 cm; «Longitudinal split on the right» from -2,53±2,31 cm to 4,33±1,03 cm; «Left longitudinal split» from -4,7±1,47 cm to 4,47±1,17 cm; and «Lumbar split» from -5,6±1,83 cm to -2,73±1,39 cm. A statistically significant difference was observed at p<0.05. Similar improvements were found in power endurance development, with statistically significant differences between experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) indicators. For instance, during the «Bending and extending the arms in a supine position» exercise, EG indicators improved from 21,93±1,2 times to 33,13±1,14 times, and the time of maintaining body position in the supine position changed from 125,33±11,66 s to 288,0±18,18 s (p<0,05). In Conclusion, it has been established that a comprehensive program of physical and technical training incorporating aerial acrobatics and pole sports, which includes general and specialized exercises along with technical training, is more effective and positively impacts the development of flexibility and strength endurance. This is evidenced by the statistically significant improvement in these physical qualities among the experimental group (EG) girls compared to the control group (CG) across all parameters studied.

In the present study the effects of a ten-week physical training program on physical efficiency, work capacity and classroom-attention of 11 motorically handicapped children (between 8 and 14 years old) were examined. A physical training program for the children in the experimental group (n = 6) consisted of an intensification of the activities (assessed by means of heart rate recordings) of the scheduled physical education lessons, while the control group (n = 5) followed the same lessons without the intensity of the activities being changed. During all the lessons, the experimental group was required to achieve a minimum heart rate value of 160 beats X min-1. Physical efficiency and physical work capacity scores were calculated from the obtained relationships of respectively oxygen uptake versus workload and of oxygen uptake versus heart rate, determined during a submaximal bicycle ergometer test. Attention in the classroom was measured by means of a previously developed observation instrument. At the end of the ten-week training program a significant increase in physical efficiency and classroom-attention scores was demonstrated for the children in the experimental group. Such effects could not be demonstrated for the children in the control group. The implication that can be drawn from this finding is that the motorically handicapped children in the experimental group after having received special physical training can perform the same amount of external work with less energy expenditure. Further, their attention behaviour in the classroom situation appears to be facilitated. A follow-up study, carried out some months after the end of the training program, showed for both groups a deterioration in physical efficiency scores, while the experimental group also deteriotated in terms of their attention scores. It is suggested that an intensification of activities during the scheduled physical education lesson can have positive effects both physical and psychological on motorically handicapped children.

The instructional-educational process in learning to swim plays a crucial role in children's development. Approaching methods and use in training practices of all ages and performance levels have been the subject of ever deeper research, so that the effectiveness of training in this area is increasingly visible. The issue of motivation in sports is a topical issue because it is essential for athletes' involvement and performance. Although material stimulation can be considered an important factor in motivating athletes, it is not necessarily enough to commit them to an extremely difficult and risky path, such as that of performance sports. Athletes' motivation stems from a complex combination of factors, including passion for sport, the desire to demonstrate their skills and talents, the aspiration to achieve personal and collective goals, and the desire to achieve recognition and satisfaction through sporting success. The purpose of the research is to identify the level of motivation for swimming and performance of children aged 9-10 years. Research method: the test Motivation for swimming of children aged 9-10 years (adaptation after N. Luskanova) The test was applied by the researcher in October 2022 to a number of 30 children aged 9-10 who practice swimming in the Tirgoviște Swimming Complex and CSȘ Tirgoviște Swimming Pool. Depending on age, we have, within the experimental group, 7 children aged 9 and 8 children aged 10. Within the control group, we identify 6 children aged 9 years and 9 children aged 10 years. We observe that the two groups are homogeneous, referring to the age variable. Regarding the gender of the subjects who are part of the group subjected to the experiment, we observe homogeneity in terms of gender, in each group there are 5 girls and 10 boys. The distribution according to the residential environment from which they come is as follows: from the experimental group 3 subjects come from the rural environment and 12 from the urban environment, and in the control group 1 subject comes from the rural environment and 14 from the urban environment The test results can be seen in Table 1. The difference between the values obtained between the experimental and control groups is not significant from a statistical point of view, since the values of the statistical indicators are close, we observe small differences between them.Table 1. Distribution of results on the Motivation for swimming test of children aged 9-10 years (adaptation according to N. Luskanova), experimental group and control group (n=20 boys)tabelThe differences between the two groups in the statistical indicators are variable, the difference between the averages is small, 0.6 points, in the standard deviation the difference between the groups is 0.77 points, the minimums recorded are equal to 15 points, and the difference between the maximums of the groups is 1 point. These results show homogeneity regarding the level of motivation between the experimental group and that of the control group. Table 2. Analysis of the level of motivation for swimming in the experimental and control groups, boystabelWe find that the level of motivation for swimming of the interviewed subjects is good. On the first level are ranked 2 subjects from the experimental group SC with 26 points and CR with 25 points, and from the control group subject MR with 25 points. These subjects have a very good motivation to practice swimming. On the second level, a number of 3 subjects from experimental group II are ranked with 24 points, AN with 23 points, AT with 20 points and six control subjects BM with 24 points, NA and RN with 23 points each, CI, AI and VE with 21 points each. The motivation of these subjects is characterized as good. Level III, respectively of relatively good motivation, has 5 subjects from the experimental group in the ranking: DF with 19 points, MG with 18 points, BL and IA with 17 points, GI with 15 points. In the control group, three subjects were registered on this level: BG with 19 points, RO with 18 points and DC with 15 points. None of the subjects was ranked on level IV-weak motivation and on level 5-very weak motivation. Overall, the motivation of 9-10 year olds for swimming is good and relatively good. In the following we will analyze the results recorded by the girls' teams. Table 3. Distribution of results on the Motivation for swimming test of children aged 9-10 years (adaptation according to N. Luskanova), experimental group and control group, (n= 5 girls)tabelThe difference between the values obtained between the experimental and control groups is not statistically significant as the values of the statistical indicators are close in value. The difference between the averages of the two groups is 1.04 points, the standard deviation being 2.82 points in the case of the experimental group and 1.49 in the case of the control group. The difference between the minimum values is 1 point, and between the maximum values is 4 points in favor of the experimental group. The results obtained by the girls from the two groups subjected to the experiment, in the Motivation for swimming test of children aged 9-10 years, are as follows: on the first level, with a very good motivation, only GM ranked with 26 points, from the experimental group , on level II, with good motivation, the subjects AF with 22 points and BM with 20 points from the experimental group and DV with 22 points, AN and IF with 20 points each from the control group are highlighted. On level III, relatively good motivation, there are EL with 19 points and MT with 18 points from the experimental group and BP and NO with 18 points each from the control group. Table 4 Analysis of the level of motivation for swimming in the experimental and control groups, girlstabelConclusions The analysis of the obtained data shows us that both groups subjected to the experiment, both in the case of boys and girls, have a good motivation for swimming, but there is a need to increase the level of motivation to maintain interest in this sport and to register performance, through specific activities. We believe that an increased level of motivation among children between the ages of 9 and 10 in swimming practice can have a significant impact on their development both in sports and personally. In correlation with the research results, we propose the following recommendations: - For each group of children, by age level, a psychological training program targeting the motivational component will be developed, which will be integrated into the training process. This program will be adapted to the specific needs of the group and will aim to adapt motivation and, implicitly, sports performance. - The psychological training program will include strategies and techniques to support the development of children's motivation for swimming, promoting commitment, the desire to excel and perseverance in training and competitions. This could include, among other things, visualization sessions, stability of personal goals, working with thoughts and emotions to maintain a positive mindset and focus on success.

Background and Aim: Cognitive ability was indeed a key component for elite badminton athletes, as evidenced by multiple studies highlighting various cognitive skills essential for high-level performance in the sport. The research objective of this study was to study the effect of the cognitive training program on badminton skills and to compare the mean values of badminton skills between and within the experimental group. Materials and Methods: This study was quasi-experimental research, and the participants on 24 badminton players in Zhixin secondary School in Guangzhou who were purposively sampled and systematically with badminton skills ranging to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was conducted for eight weeks, three days/week, and 120 minutes/day of a cognitive training program. In addition, the experimental group also conducted a badminton training program, with badminton skills such as pace, serve, smash, drop shot, drive, and clear. The cognitive ability and badminton skills were examined on the pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. Data analysis was calculated on mean and standard deviation, t-test independent, one-way ANOVA repeated measurement, Bonferroni post hoc, significance difference set at p<.05. Results: The results found that (1) In comparing the experimental and control groups, all variables related to badminton skills showed significant differences (*p<.05). (2) When comparing experimental and control groups, the cognitive ability test showed a significant difference (*p<.05); however, the mental rotation test did not. (3) There were significant differences (*P<.05) in badminton skills and cognitive ability across experimental groups at the pretest, mid-test, and post-test. (4) The cognitive training program was strong in content validity (IOC =.80). Conclusion: The effectiveness of the cognitive training program was demonstrated by the study's conclusion, which showed that it significantly enhanced the experimental group's cognitive and badminton skills. The program also demonstrated strong content validity, even though mental rotation skills were unaffected.

The study was to find out the effect of upper body plyometric training program on young women volleyball player’s hand grip strength and upper body explosive power in their usual training program. For this study, twenty-four female volleyball players were selected as the participants and they randomly allocated to either experimental group or control group. The experimental group had 8 weeks of training program along with their usual training and control group had not special training. Training effects were analysed by independent t-tests. The significance level was set at .05. Notable improvements in HG and UBES were recorded in post values of between the experimental and control group. [HG: t (11) = -4.020, p < .001], [UBES: t (11) = -3.213, p = .004]. Conversely no significant improvements in HG and UBES were recorded in pre values of between the experimental and control group. [HG: t (11) = -0.954, p = .350), UBES: t (11) = 0.439, p = .665] in performance of both variables. The study concluded that upper body plyometric training program can effective modality for enhancing hand grip strength and upper body explosive power on young women volleyball players.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of breast cancer and a breast self-examination training program on women’s knowledge, attitude, and practices relating to breast cancer. The study included 92 women participants and used a randomized controlled experimental research design. The randomization method was used to divide these women into two groups, an experimental (n = 45) group and a control (n = 47) group. A training program was provided to the experimental group, while no such training was provided for the control group. Both groups were followed-up each month for a six-month period. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Breast Self-Examination and Breast Cancer Knowledge Form, and the Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale. Differences in the mean level of knowledge, perceived-seriousness, perceived-barriers, perceived-confidence, and health motivation subscale scores of the experimental group were found to be statistically significant for the experimental group, while no such statistical significance was found for the control group (p < 0.05). All women in the experimental group practiced breast self-examination regularly and properly by the sixth month. This study found that planning and implementing a training program based on the Health Belief Model, particularly a regular and one-to-one training and follow-up program, may lead to a regular and proper breast self-examination practice. The training program used in this study made a positive contribution to women’s knowledge, attitudes, and health behaviors regarding breast self-examination.

Introduction Pregnancy and birthing are two supernatural processes that form the creation of life. Many pregnant women prefer caesarean section due to labour pain. To reduce the complications and enhance the early recovery of mother, early ambulation is very effective. Caesarean section mothers still lie straight in bed for minimum 24 hours. Through the research study, I would like to encourage the post-partum mothers for early ambulation and check the effects of early ambulation on involution of uterus. Objective: To assess the involution of uterus in control and interventional group among post-natal caesarean mothers in pre-test. To evaluate the effectiveness of selected intervention in experimental group on involution of uterus after early ambulation. To find the association between pre-test intervention score with selected socio demographic variables. Method: The study design was quasi experimental research design in which total 70 samples were selected through purposive sampling technique, 35 samples were in control group and 35 samples were in experimental group. In this study, researcher assessed fundal height just after 6 hours of caesarean section delivery and initiated early ambulation which involves Assist patient in sitting position, assist in standing position and walking, breathing exercises, kegal exercises and leg sliding exercises. fundal height is monitored in experimental group after intervention and in control group also, to measure the differences between the fundal height. Results: The findings showed that the pretest mean score of control group was 17.23 with SD 0.899 similarily in experimental group was 17.10 with SD 0.778. The post-test mean score for control group was12.986 with SD 0.660 similarly in experimental group 10.083 with SD 1.376. P value in pretest was 0.5338 which was no significant showed that no significance difference between experimental and control group before intervention and p value of post test in control and experimental group is 0.0001 which was significant showed that there was significant difference in post test level of uterine involution among post natal caesarean mothers in control and experimental group. The mean difference between pretest &amp; posttest of control group was 4.249 and in experimental group means difference was 7.026 this showed that there was significant effect of early ambulation in involution of uterus among post natal caesarean mothers. There was significant mean difference between post test of control and experimental group showed significant reduction in fundal height after early ambulation in experimental group. Conclusion: Therefore early ambulation was effective in reducing fundal height after caesarean section in post natal mothers.

A study of two 100-person groups of juvenile delinquents born in 1959 was conducted in the years 1981‒1985 at the Department of Criminology, Institute of Legal Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences. The first (experimental) group consisted of boys randomly selected from the total of 225 juveniles born in 1959 who had committed at least on offence while intoxicated. The other (control) group were 100 randomly juveniles selected from the entire population of 8196 juvenile delinquents born in 1959. None of the juveniles selected for the experimental group happened to find themselves in the control group as well. As shown by the findings, the juveniles who had committed at least one offence while intoxicated were much more demoralized as a group than the whole of juvenile delinquents. It seemed interesting, therefore, to follow the further fates of both groups as adults. The follow-up period was 7 years; until that time, all of the examined persons reached the age of 25 when the average Polish man be- comes stabilized to some extent, having graduated from university, worked for several or a dozen years (upon completion of secondary or elementary education respectively), and frequently having also established a family. Data on the life situation of the young men from both examined groups on their 25th birthday were obtained from the following four sources: ‒ the Central Register of Convicted Persons kept by the Ministry of Justice, and the Register of Convicted and Detained Persons where criminal records of the entire sample were checked; ‒ files of criminal cases of all men with criminal records (47.0% of the experimental and 35.0% of the control group); the files concerned criminal proceedings before common courts for offences committed after coming of age; ‒ questionnaire survey of 63.0% of the experimental and 66.0% of the control group; ‒ inquiry submitted to the sobering-up stations concerning the entire sample. As shown by the findings, 24.0% of the experimental and 13.0% of the control group established their own families before the age of 25. The proportions are high, as regards the experimental group in particular: erly in the 1980s, the newly married constituted about 10% of the total male population aged 20‒24 in Poland. The mean educational level was higher in the control compared to the experimental group; this concerns first and foremost cases of education higher than the elmementary technical (of which there were two in the experimental compared to ten in the control group). Moreover, no cases of illiteracy could be found in the control group, compared to one such case in the experimental group. Of all the men of the experimental group concerning whom data could be obtained, 80.4% had a regular job, and 19.6% stayed out of job or worked casually. Of the control group, 80.0% had a regular job (33% combining job with school), 18.3% stayed out of job or worked casually, and one person had entered university. The number of convicted persons in the experimental group (47) was larger compared to the control group (35) by 12.0%, the difference being significant. Also relapse into crime was higher in the expenmental group (l5 vs. 11 cases). The first offence committed by those convicted as young adults was mainly one against property: 35 cases in the experimental group (66.0% of all those convicted) and 28 cases in the control group (80.0%). The second most frequent offence of members of the experimental group was an aggressive act: against life and health, freedom, personal dignity and inviolability (10 persons, i.e. 18.8% of all those convicted). The offences of this type included: bodily injury (Art. 156 of the penal code – 3 persons, i.e. 6.4%); participation in a brawl or beating (Art. 158 and 159 – 1 person, i.e. 2.1%); infringement of bodily inviolability (Art. 182 – 3 persons, i.e. 6.4%); assault against a public functionary (Art. 233 and 234 – 1 person, i.e. 2.1%); insult against a public functionary (Art. 236 – 1 person, i.e. 2.1%). In the control group, 6 cases of such offences could be found (9.1% of all those convicted); yet the only offence under Art. 148 1 of the penal code, that is homicide, had been committed by a member of that goup.The other discussed figures and proportions were respectively: Art. l58, 159 – 3 persons, i.e. 8.6%; Art. 182 – 1 person (2.9%); Art. 233, 234 – 1 person (2.9%); and Art. 236 – 1 person (29%). Beside offences, the two groups manifested also other synptoms of social maladjustment. The symptoms found most often in both groups were: “contacts with persons known to the police as delinquent” and stays at the sobering-up station. As regards the experimental group, the third frequent symptom were brawls in the place of residence followed by bad opinion with neighbors, hooliganism, and avoidance of work. In the control group, avoidance of work ranked third, followed by bad opinion with neighbors, hooliganism, and brawls at the place of residence. This ranking of frequency of the symptoms of social maladjustment points to a greater aggressiveness of the young men from the experimental group. On the 63 young men from the experimental group concerning whom data could be obtained, 62 (98.0%) drank alcohol. In the control group 59 (89.0%) of the 66 concerning whom data could be obtained were drinkers. The group of drinkers included all those who had drunk several times a week already as juveniles, and 70% of those who had drunk once a week. In the control group, drinkers included 91.7% of those who had drunk as juvoniles (11 of 12 cases). Of those who had drunk as juveniles in the control group, 66.7% (8 cases) were convicted as adults. As shown by the discussed data, young men from the experimental group – those who committed as juveniles at least one offence while intoxicated prove much inferior in terms of the social situation to other men who also committed offences as juveniles but did not drink alcohol. Therefore, early alcohol consumption among juvenile delinquents is an important factor of a negative prognosis as to the further fates of such persons. A number of postulates have been formulated, addressed at the prosecuting agencies, criminal justice, and institutions designed to assist persons in extraordinary situation. With respect to the present sample, all such postulates acquire special importance and must be met without fail.

The article is a research into psychological and pedagogic support of sportsmen aged 18–25 years old, with taking into account the gender factor, at the stages of training with the strength exercises. It states methods of psychical reserves mobilization of different psychophysical types of sportsmen, aimed at training process efficiency increase in order to reach high results during competitions.Introduction. The article is based at the methodic of classical development of sportsmen’s strength abilities in powerlifting in composition with psychological methods of psychological and pedagogic support (PPS) for increasing of reliability and successfulness of pre-competition training. PPS is considered to be a combination of targets, media, methods and circumstances of planning, realization and control of the process of formation, activation and optimization of sportsmen’s psychological processes, at the stages of preparing for competitions and participating in them. Research target. Theoretical elaboration and experimental substantiation of the methodic of PPS training preparation for the competitions when going in for powerlifting and weightlifting.Materials and methods. The method of control test, pedagogic experiment (PE), fitness tests, anthropometrical methods, psychological development of personality methods, mathematical statistics methods. The research was being performed during five weeks (2020-02-01–2020-03-15). During the pedagogical experiment (PE), strength trainings were based at five-week cycle by B.I. Sheyko, which is equal to one pre-competition mesocycle. Sportsmen aged 18–25 years old formed two groups of 20 persons each: control group (CG) and experimental group (EG), divided [inside] by the gender factor. CG and EG were training with the classical powerlifting methodic, in EG it was supplemented with psychological processes optimization methods.The methodic of PPS preparation for a competition included: learning of goal-setting, forming of readiness for competitions, learning of coping, activation of motivation processes, increase of self-control and of psychoregulation of behavior and sport activity.Results. The authors elaborated five-week mesocycle (medium cycle) of training for powerlifters aged 18-25 years old. The forming impact of the complex of PPS methods in EG caused certain growth of strength results in EG at the end of PE: each of CG sportswomen lifted 142.5 kg in the sum of three-lift, CG sportsmen — 215 kg. In EG the result of sportswomen is 190 kg, the result of sportsmen is 250 kg. The growth, when comparing EG and CG, was 57.5 kg for sportswomen and 35 kg for sportsmen in favour of RG with PPS. Psychophysical types of young powerlifters, who need psychological and pedagogic support, were identified, recovery measures for psychological preparation were proposed.Conclusion. PPS in the complex with strength trainings caused certain growth of strength indexes of powerlifters aged 18–25 years old, with taking into account the gender factor. Strength indexes of girls progressed 1,8–2 times more significantly, than of men. When performing PPS, they wust take into account the gender specifics of powerlifters, attached to different impact of psychological preparation methods on boys and girls.

This study aimed to determine the role of physical activity and recreational activities in university students who smoke. Thirty voluntary students who do not actively do sports and smoke participated in the study. After the pre-tests, the experimental group participated in the physical training program and recreational activities 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The tests of the control group were taken and they did not participate in any activity program. Significant differences were found between the pretest and posttest values of the experimental group's body weight, fat ratio, muscle ratio, bench press, lat pull down, leg press, right balance, and left balance parameters. In the control group, significant differences were found between pretest and posttest values of fat ratio, bench press, lat pull down, cooper test, right balance, and left balance parameters. While there was no significant difference between the depression, anxiety, adjustment in life, and Fagerström nicotine addiction pre-test and post-test values of the experimental group (p &gt; .05), a significant difference was found between the pretest and posttest values of depression levels in the control group (p &lt; .05). When the analyses between the groups were examined, there was a statistically significant difference between the muscle ratio, bench press, lat pull down and leg press post-test values of the experimental and control groups (p &lt; .05), while body weight, body mass index, fat ratio, Cooper test, right balance, left balance, and agility posttest values were not statistically significantly different (p &gt; .05). It is seen that the applied training program and recreational activities provide positive improvements in physical parameters and lead to improvements in depression anxiety, adjustment in life and nicotine addiction, though not statistically significant. In order to observe meaningful developments, it is recommended to increase the duration and scope of the training program and recreational activities.

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a comprehensive preventive counseling program in the adequacy of knowledge of the nature of disability to be limited by Palestinian women. The study was applied to students of field training at the Faculty of Social Development at Al-Quds Open University in Jericho and Al-Aghwar from the academic year 2017-2018. . The study population was 70 students. The researcher used the semi-experimental approach with two tribal and post-test measurements. A sample of 40 female students enrolled in the field training course was selected. The sample was divided into two groups, Of them (20) In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher constructed the questionnaire of knowledge adequacy and the extension program. The validity of the tools used and their stability were verified by the appropriate methods. The study found the following results: There are statistically significant differences in the knowledge adequacy of the experimental group due to the indicative program and for the benefit of telemetry. The experimental group averages (105.75), while the control group averages (80.95). There are no statistically significant differences in the post-measurement between the experimental and control groups due to the marital status (single, married). (0.803) and control group (0.895). This means that the social situation did not affect the knowledge adequacy. There are no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness of the knowledge adequacy program between the average of the control and experimental group respondents due to the interaction between the group and the social situation The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the experimental group from the minimum required for knowledge (93). The mean of knowledge adequacy in the experimental group was 105.75 and 85.3%. The minimum adequacy Knowledge (75%), to know The effect of the independent factor on the dependent factor was significant, since the value of (d) was 2.07, which is greater than the value (0.8). The study recommended the use of the preventive group counseling program used in the current study to achieve the adequacy of the knowledge of the nature of the disability of Palestinian women (single, married), and work to disseminate it to benefit from its results.

“A Study was conducted to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Hand and Foot Massage on Pain among Post caesarean mothers at Selected Hospitals, Salem”. Quasi experimental pre test post test control group design was adopted. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 post caesarean mothers among which 30 were assigned to experimental group and 30 were assigned to control group. The data was collected using structured interview schedule. Pre test was done for both experimental and control group by using Numerical pain intensity scale. Hand and Foot Massage was given for the experimental group for 20 minutes two times a day at 4hrs for first two days (morning and evening) and withheld for control group. Post test was done for both experimental and control group by using the same scale. The study findings showed that in experimental group, 14 (46.67%) of the post caesarean mothers belong to the age group of 26-30 and 12 (40%) of them belong to the age group of 21-25 years in control group 14 (46.66%) of them belong to the age group of 21-25 years. In experimental group, 15 (50%) had completed higher secondary education and in control group 12 (40%) had higher secondary education. In experimental group, 23 (76.67%) of them were unemployed, whereas in control group 20 (66.67%) of them were unemployed. In experimental group 24 (80%) were multi gravid, whereas in control group 17 (56.67%) were multi gravid. In experimental group 24 (80%) had previous history of caesarean section and in control group 15 (50%) had history of both. The mean pre test score in experimental group was 6.4±0.56 and mean post test score was 3.5±0.79. The ‘t’ value was 33.72 which is significant at p≤0.05 level. Hence H1 was retained at p≤0.05 level. The mean score in experimental group was 3.5±0.79 and mean score in control group was 6.1±0.65. The ‘t’ value was 15.66 which was significant at p≤0.05 level. Hence H2 was retained at p≤0.05 level. There was a significant association between educational status and pain among post caesarean mothers in experimental group. Hence H3 was retained at p≤0.05 level. There was no significant association between demographic variables and pain among post caesarean mothers in control group. Hence H3 was rejected at p≥0.05 level. Hence Hand and Foot Massage is one of the alternative and complementary therapies, which is simple, safe and cost effective and found to be effective in reducing pain after caesarean section and also promotes psychological wellbeing of the mother.

Before employing the flipped classroom approach, pupils' pre-test results were much lower than they were after using it.The preferences of both the male and female control and experimental groups were influenced by the flipped classroom and lecture content, respectively.When it came to assessing evolutionary relationships, there were substantial differences between the experimental and control groups.Phylogeny evaluation was performed on the post-test, and the females in the experimental group fared much better than the females in the control group.In terms of systematic differences, there was a statistically significant difference in post-test findings between the experimental and control groups for both males and females.On the other hand, the overall evaluation of Females in the experimental group outperformed males in the post-test.When the post-test data were compared between males and females, it was discovered that there was a significant variation in phylogeny between the experimental and control groups.On the post-test, males in the experimental group outperformed women in the control group, indicating that the study was successful.The responses to the Motivation to Learn Survey Questionnaire from both the experimental and control groups were compared.The control group had a higher mean score in motivation than the experimental group, but the extrinsic goal-oriented group had a mean score that was close to that of the control and experimental groups, as shown in Table 1.The intrinsicgoal orientation, control of learning beliefs, and self-efficacy of the control group were all shown to be significantly different from the experimental group.The relationship between intrinsic goal orientation and task value was not statistically significant.
