Abstract:
The education and upbringing of mentally retarded children at a correctional school are closely connected with the process of their physical education improvement, searching for more advanced methodologies of motor sphere development, their correction and the level of physical qualities development increase. The aim of the research is to analyze the results of the diagnostic stage of functional readiness study among the teen-agers with intellectual disabilities. Research methods. Information sources analysis, pedagogical testing, experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, the received results analysis and summarizing. The respondents were the teen-agers with intellectual disabilities, who study at State Public Educational Establishment of Astrakhan Region “Boarding school № 1 for students with disabilities” in Astrakhan. In order to define the initial level of functional readiness of teen-agers with intellectual disabilities we organized two groups: group 1- the control group and group 2 – the experimental group. We carried out the following tests: Cooper test, Ruffier test, Genchi test, Stange test, Serkin test, kneeheel test, Romberg test, PWC170, maximum oxygen consumption (MOC), step-ergometry and spirography. Results. The organized testing helped to define more significant changes among teen-agers of the experimental group. Educational-training process included the methodology with the use of “Para Cheer” sport. The results among the teen-agers from the experimental group validly (P<0,01) improved. Conclusion. At a diagnostic stage we defined that the level of functional readiness development among teen-agers of the control group are insignificantly higher, than among their coevals from the experimental group.
