Operational Information

Differentiation and individualization of school physical education allows one to take into account the features of each child, its existing experience and level of achievements, interests and inclinations. To organize a differentiated approach during a teacher of physical culture, operational information on the physical state of students of a particular class is required. The purpose of the work is to analyze the physical condition of children 7-8 years for planning physical activity during exercises. Methods of research: analysis of scientific and methodological literature; Pedagogical observation and experiment; testing; Methods of mathematical statistics. Organization of research. The research was conducted on the basis of School No. 66 of the Dnipro. 125 children 7-8 years have participated in the study. The processing of test results was carried out using the KIFZOS Computer Program. Research results. The age of 7-8 years is the most calm period in the development of children, during which there is a smooth change in the structures and functions of the organism. However, despite the slowdown in growth rates, the length of the body in girls and the boys increases more intense than body weight. The body proportions are changing, the volume of the chest increases, that is, there is a "pulling" of the body. A clear difference between boys and girls in anthropometric indicators almost not observed. The general assessment of the level of health of children under the method of G. L. Apanasenko allowed to distribute examined schoolchildren to 3 groups by levels of somatic health. Most children belonged to the group "Patients". Among boys, low level of physical fitness is observed more in children for 8 years - 63.0% (7 years - 33.3%). High levels are not fixed. Among girls, low levels of physical fitness had 29.4% - 7 years, 14.3% - 8 years. High levels were observed in 7.1% of girls 8 years. Conclusions. Thus, an individual assessment of the physical state of school-age children allows you to determine the means and methods of development of motor qualities, taking into account sensitive periods and age-sexual characteristics of students. The obtained data indicate a low level of physical condition of children, which determines the use of a differentiated approach in planning physical activity. Prospects for further research. We plan to develop exercises for increasing the level of physical status of schoolchildren who can be used when working on-line.

AbstractIntroduction: The aim of the physical activity of the intellectually disabled is the strengthening of health, creating movement habits, promoting active recreation, and maintaining exercise capacity. Skillfully applied physical activity allows to mitigate the effects of pathology and create the compensations to enable the intellectually disabled people to live relatively independently. Physical activity and sport also increase their chances to integrate with their families, peers, and social environment.Materials and methods: The research targeted a group of 134 people with moderate or considerable intellectual disability (65 women and 69 men), aged 20-53 years, who participated in occupational therapy workshops in Jastrzębie Zdrój, Rybnik, and Żory. Physical fitness was assessed using the “Eurofit Special” test and balance tests. Measurements of body height and mass were also taken and then used to calculate the body mass index (BMI).Results: A salient somatic trait was the greater body mass relative to height among the persons with considerable disability, clearly illustrated by the BMI. This explained their greater heaviness in performing physical exercises. An even greater difference between participants with moderate and considerable intellectual disability was visible in physical fitness. Obviously, older persons did not achieve as good results in fitness tests as the younger ones, yet the participants were more differentiated by the level of disability than age. Most symptomatic differences to the disadvantage of the considerably disabled were observed in explosive strength, speed, abdominal muscle strength, and flexibility.Conclusions: Significant differences in fitness between the compared groups make it necessary to take into account the level of intellectual disability in the course of physical education and sport, at work, and in household duties.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between physical activity and physical fitness and adiposity in a sample of 77 girls, aged 10–11 years. Physical activity was assessed by 7-day physical activity recall by which children reported how much time they spent on low and moderate-to-vigorous physical activities. Physical fitness was measured by EUROFIT test battery. Adiposity was estimated by sum of five skinfolds. The main finding of the study was that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and adiposity were significant predictors (with 16–34% accounted variance) of physical fitness tests where the body mass affects performance. Indicators of physical activity and adiposity were not significantly related with fitness items requiring muscular strength, balance, flexibility, and speed of limb movement. Furthermore, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and aerobic fitness predicted 22% of variance in adiposity in girls.

Introduction. Currently, only a small number of countries have a stable iodine adequacy, about a third of the world’s population lives in areas with some iodine deficiency. Because children have an increased risk of adverse effects in response to iodine deficiency, it is important to assess the health of these children. Aim. To investigate the frequency of iodine deficiency in children from the iodine deficiency region. Methods. The research was conducted during expeditions to various geographical areas of Northern Bukovyna (Chernivtsi region, Ukraine). 1,973 school-age children were examined (measurement of anthropometric indicators, assessment of cognitive, physical and sexual development, ultrasonography of the thyroid gland (TG), ovaries and testicles, determination of hormonal status and iodine in urine). Results. Of 1,973 children, 53.7% (1060) had thyroid abnormalities. The frequency of goiter in the mountain zone – 59.8%. In 12.3% of children there was a tendency to increase of TSH. The median ioduria in children from mountainous areas corresponds to moderate iodine deficiency. Children from mountainous areas have various disorders: 38.5% disharmonious physical development, a third low intellectual development, disorders of the order of appearance and development of secondary sexual characteristics in the examined children. Conclusion. The results of the study show the negative impact of iodine deficiency on the body of children. It is necessary to continue monitoring of ioduria and children’s health and implement preventive measures.

AbstractIntroduction: Physical fitness is expressed by the function of the motor apparatus, the capacity of organs and systems of the body, as well as motor abilities and life activity. Motor and physical development of children with hearing loss due to a damage of the hearing organ can differ from their hearing peers. The hearing organ dysfunctions can have adverse effect on motricity due to its connections with the nervous system and semicircular canals.Material and methods: The present study comprised 60 school-age children; the experimental group consisted of 30 girls and boys with hearing loss, while the control group included 30 hearing girls and boys. The children’s age varied between 9 and 11 years; the mean age was 9.75 years. In both groups of children their body mass index was calculated and their overall physical fitness was assessed using the Eurofit - European Physical Fitness Test.Results: It was found that hearing impairment was mainly connected with the worse sense of balance, lower velocity of upper limb movements and decreased level of agility, i.e. indirectly with worse motor coordination. In addition, it was proved that generally girls manifested a better sense of balance and flexibility, whereas boys showed a higher static and dynamic strength and better agility and endurance.Conclusions: The study confirmed the hypothesis that children with hearing loss have lower overall physical fitness than their hearing peers. Therefore there is a need to develop motor abilities in children with hearing loss by involving them in deliberate and systematic physical activity.

Mammary gland cancer, commonly known as breast cancer, is the most common malignancy in women in Poland. The occurrence of the disease and its treatment are associated with a decrease in physical fitness and endurance of the body, and also make it difficult to meet basic life needs and result in a deterioration in the quality of life. The aim of the study is to present physical activity in women with breast cancer and after mastectomy. Analysis of professional literature and available research results in patients undergoing oncological therapy in the treatment of breast cancer indicates the need for them to undertake physical activity and physiotherapy in order to minimize the effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and mastectomy. Analysis of studies in terms of the impact of physical activity on the rehabilitation and recovery of patients with breast cancer showed a significant impact of physical fitness on bone mineral density as the most important factor in the development and maintenance of normal bone metabolism. Physical exercises have also been shown to have a positive effect on patients during and after treatment. Regular physical exercise in women treated for cancer is essential and has a significant impact on reducing muscle deficits and the entire skeletal system.

Este artículo analizó la relación entre actividad física, condición física y autoconcepto. Un total de 103 escolares (8-12 años) participaron en la evaluación de dichas variables. La condición física se valoró mediante diversas pruebas de la Batería ALPHA-Fitness, el nivel de actividad física se calculó a través del cuestionario PACE y el autoconcepto se midió utilizando la Escala de Autoconcepto de Piers-Harris. Las pruebas estadísticas fueron: T-student, U de Mann-Whitney y Krustal-Wallis. Aquellos físicamente activos tuvieron mejores registros en las dimensiones conductual, intelectual, falta de ansiedad y global. Aquellos con mayor condición física mostraron un mejor autoconcepto físico (p = .013), social (p = .003) y global (p = .085). Aquellos físicamente activos y con mayor condición física tuvieron un mejor autoconcepto intelectual (p = .007), social (p = .010) y global (p = .010). Ser físicamente activo y tener un mayor nivel de condición física podría predecir un autoconcepto más positivo en escolares de la Región de Murcia.Abstract. This article analized the relationship between physical activity, physical condition and self-concept. A total of 103 schoolchildren (8-12 years old) participated in the assessment of these variables. Physical fitness was assessed through various tests from the ALPHA-Fitness Battery, level of physical activity was calculated through the PACE questionnaire, and self-concept was measured using the Piers-Harris Self-concept Scale. T-student, Mann-Whitney U, and Krustal-Wallis were employed for statistical analysis. Those who were physically active had better values in behavioral and intellectual domains of self-concept, as well as in lack of anxiety, and global self-concept. Those with greater physical fitness showed a better physical (p = .013), social (p = .003) and global (p = .085) self-concept. Those physically active with greater physical fitness had a better intellectual (p = .007), social (p = .010) and global (p = .010) self-concept. Being physically active and having a higher level of fitness could predict a more positive self-concept in schoolchildren of Murcia (Spain).

Evaluation of the effects of an eight-week innovative FITT program of Physical Education to Physical Activity (PA) and health-related fitness (HRF). In the experimental group (N=92), with FITT guidelines, the students have been “introduced” to the development of the HRF zone. There have been 16 classes for the development of the aerobic fitness and 8 classes for the development of muscular fitness. Flexibility has been developed in the final parts of each class. The csontrol group (N=86) attended traditional classes of the same volume. Before and after the intervention, the HRF components evaluation was performed with the battery of FITNESSGRAM tests and the PA by the pedometer OMRON HJ-320. Both groups showed a significant increase in the maximum consumption of oxygen and the number of depleted shares (PACER laps), with the simultaneous decrease in the PA level. The FITT program significantly contributed to the improvement of aerobic fitness, muscular fitness and partially flexibility. There was no difference between the group in the body composition and the PA level. FITT intervention is a promising school strategy for improving the aerobic and muscular fitness of students.

A review of the literature concerning posture and physical activity among dialysis patients was performed in order to determine strategies for improving physical activity and thus quality of life in this group of patients. Correct posture ensures harmonious functioning of the body with optimal efficiency. A sedentary lifestyle has a negative effect on posture and reduces a person’s physical fitness. Haemodialysis forces patients to sit or lie down for long periods of time, while the consequences of chronic disease additionally predispose them to a sedentary lifestyle. Patients with chronic kidney disease treated by dialysis are particularly likely to exhibit sedentary behaviour, and thus are less physically active. The physical fitness of dialysis patients deteriorates due to kidney disease, but also because of concomitant diseases. It is very important to educate patients about the positive effects of physical activity, as well as to promote exercise as a necessary element of treatment for improving their quality of life.
