Abstract:

Coordinating abilities, together with quickness and endurance, have a great influence on the results in cross-country skiing. It is conditioned by the fact that a racing skier should have the skill of rhythm holding, should reproduce and measure out time, spatial and strength parameters, keep the balance and etc. Sensitive period for coordinating abilities development is 8-11 years-old. That is why it is reasonable to develop them at the stage of initial training. The exercises directed toward coordinating abilities development are different and have different modification. For their effective use it is necessary to take into consideration individual characteristics of a child. One of such characteristics is a functional asymmetry. Materials. The article considers functional asymmetry of 9-11 year-old skiers and its influence on coordinating abilities development. Research methods. Information sources analysis and summarizing, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. We created a complex of exercises, directed toward coordinating abilities development. It included the exercises of a cyclic, acrobatic character, skiing exercises and outdoor games, the final part included the exercises from remedial gymnastics. We meant not only coordinating abilities development, but also asymmetry of movements decrease. The first two weeks we taught skiers to fulfill the exercises correctly. The instruction started from the leading hand, we also used reflecting fulfillment for right and left- handed children. As the skiers mastered the exercises, we made them more complicated by means of outer factors or the elements of novelty. Conclusion. The effectiveness of the created complex was proved by pedagogical testing. It included 6 control tests, estimating 6 coordinating abilities. Valid differences of the indices at the beginning and the end of the experiment were revealed in 4 out of 6 control tests.
