The motor abilities of children and adolescents have their own patterns of development. Having the most reliable information about the peculiarities of age dynamics of motor abilities, it is possible to build an adequate, targeted system to ensure physical preparation of schoolchildren. We made an attempt to calculate indicators of dynamics of motor abilities of schoolchildren in accordance with the standards of one of the recommended programs (V.I. Lyakh, A.A. Zdanevich, 2011) in order to determine sensational periods of development of motor abilities of children and teenagers. The study determined absolute gains, growth rates, chain and baseline growth rates, and the value of 1 % growth. These indicators revealed age periods that are defined as «sensational» for a given motor capacity. The analysis of the standards showed that there are age periods in which the most intense growth of motor qualities of children and adolescents takes place. For boys, it is a period of 10 to 11 years and, to a lesser extent, 7 to 9 years; for girls, 7 to 8 years of age and, to a lesser extent, 11 to 12 years of age. Most intensively during the period from 7 to 17 years the power qualities increased (in boys - 3.8 times, in girls - 2.3 times) and flexibility (in boys - 2.6 times, in girls - 1.7 times). Speed and coordination qualities progressed least intensively (an average of 30 % for boys and 20 % for girls). The results of the study can be useful for teachers of physical culture in general education school, trainer's staff carrying out educational and training process with children and adolescent contingent.

Analysis of the literature showed that the problem of introducing automation technologies of information processing and the creation of a database on the physical condition of children and adolescents is important. The purpose of research — to develop an application to inform the process of learning motor actions and the development of motor abilities of children and adolescents.Research methods. To achieve the objectives have been used in the analysis of literature as a philosophical and scientific methods of research, such as: the dialectical method (the systems principle, the principle of causality); systematic approach; modeling; synthesis, analysis, synthesis; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical planning of the experiment; testing.The results of the study. The results show that the proposed Plan matrix factorial experiment the chosen step of varying factors is sufficient to study the effects of different modes of physical exercises to develop strength and efficiency of the education of children and adolescents.The new algorithm is information support for teaching motor actions of children and adolescents, which is different from conventional approaches. In contrast to the application of comprehensive monitoring of the physical condition of pupils of 1—11 classes, an algorithm based on a computer simulation of the process of learning and development of motor abilities in children and adolescents.Conclusions. An algorithm for calculating regulatory load for young gymnasts 7—13 years. Based on an algorithm created a pilot program complex information support for teaching motor actions and the development of motor abilities in children and adolescents.

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
