A Study of Specific Coordination Indicators of 11th Grade Girls in Volleyball Training Under Major Program
Abstract
The objective of the study is to analyze the process of volleyball motor skills development on the basis of coordination abilities development in girls aged 16 studying under their major program. Materials and methods. The study participants were 11th grade girls (n=20). To achieve the objective set, the study used the following methods: analysis and generalization of data of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. At the beginning of the pedagogical experiment, most of the girls had an average, below average and low levels of coordination abilities. It is necessary to note a low level of performing volleyball-specific technical exercises (various types of passing and receiving a ball, serves, technique and movement speed) by the 11th graders. During the development experiment, the study revealed a significant increase in the level of coordination abilities and technical skills in the experimental group girls aged 16 (p<0.05). The dynamics of the obtained data showed that regular exercises aimed at developing special coordination abilities in high school students, offered by the major program, contribute to the quality of performance of basic volleyball exercises. Conclusions. The presented results of complex pedagogical testing of coordination abilities of the girls aged 16 can later be used as a basis for the development of experimental programs aimed at optimizing high school students’ physical education.
