Abstract:

Modern society develops in diversity and in interaction with material, spiritual and social phenomena in education. Modern concept of transformation at educational establishments demands real physical culture and sport problems solution, as the base of students’ health preservation and strengthening. On the basis of scientific achievements the program of physical culture development transformation is realized and a healthy way of life among students of Russia is formed. The main aim of physical culture and sport elective course transformation at educational establishments is more popular and demanded kinds of motor activity for students introduction. Materials and Research methods. The following research methods were used: Information sources analysis and summarizing, testing, research results statistical handling. 28 students of the 1st and the 2nd courses of Land Management State University, Russia took part in the research. Students from the control group trained according to the traditional program. Students from the experimental group were offered the lessons with Nordic walking inclusion in the elective course. The methodology of Nordic walking realization included health-improving orientation. Preparatory part was 10% of the lesson general duration. General and special warming-up was held including general developing exercises of local and general influence on muscles. The main part of the lesson (75%) included special training for the distance overcoming. The main criterion of physical loads training influences correction were pulse indices. For the effectiveness of the experimental methodology substantiation we chose three exercises: body lifting from dorsal position, arms bending in prone position, squats. The results estimation was in points, created taking into account physical condition of medical group students. Results. On the basis of normative indices according to point scale we created detailed point scale of medical group students’ physical conditions estimation. The examined indices of physical readiness in special group students from CG and EG had the tendency of improvement, but in EG the results were more valid, than in CG, as the increase was 28,71%, in CG only 7,9%. Thus, systematic use of special exercises, directed toward physical qualities development, taking into account the specificity of Nordic walking, led to students’ physical readiness improvement. Conclusion. It should be taken into account that low loads don’t increase the effectiveness of physiological abilities of an organism and their general physical working capacity. Nordic walking is a unique kind of physical-sports activity. It helps to define the level of physical loads and increase them constantly without any harm to an organism. Systematic Nordic walking trainings, in particular of health-improving orientation, in case of their rational organization help to preserve high level of physical working capacity, tone up nervous system and regulate psychic state and increase functional abilities of cardiovascular system and respiratory function. An important component of Nordic walking physical load is metabolic processes of an organism activation and regulation. Physical culture and sport elective course with Nordic walking realization helps to realize individual approach and education differentiation successfully.
