Methodology of training sessions on strength fitness in elective physical education classes

Abstract

The article describes the original teaching methodology for the elective course “Strength Fitness” at the Presidential Academy. It has been determined that in the educational process it is desirable to teach students squats with a barbell on their shoulders, bench press on a horizontal bench, and deadlifts. The educational process during the semester has a 3-stage sequence of content of training sessions with students in the gym, i.e. preparatory, teaching, evaluating. The methodology of strength fitness training sessions will be effective if the recommendations are followed: the lesson aim is general physical training; strict planning by the teacher of students’ physical activity; exclusion of training principles for muscle hypertrophy; constant monitoring of the current physical condition of students, etc. The developed teaching methodology for the elective course “Strength Fitness” presented by the authors was practically tested in the educational process. The introduction of methodology for training sessions on strength fitness exercises will allow students to increase their motivational orientation to classes, increase their involvement in the process of developing strength qualities, and allow the teacher to purposefully plan the content of the subject.
