Introduction: Thoracoscopy represents the most challenging area of pediatric minimally invasive surgery due to its technical difficulty. A standardized training program would be advisable. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of our surgical training.Materials and Methods: A retrospective, single-center, cohort study was performed. The following four-step program was tested: (1) theoretical part; (2) experimental training; (3) training in centers of reference; (4) personal operative experience. Particular attention was focused on the choice of mentor. Times and modality of adherence to the program were evaluated. The effectiveness and safety of the training were evaluated according to the surgical results of esophageal atresia (EA/TEF) repair and resection of congenital lung malformations (CLM). The study was conducted from January 2014 to May 2020. Attending surgeons with previous experience in neonatal and pediatric laparoscopy were selected for the training program after being evaluated by the head of Department.Results: The training program was fully completed in 2 years. Twenty-four lobectomies, 9 sequestrectomies, 2 bronchogenic cyst resections and 20 EA/TEF repair were performed. Thoracoscopy was always feasible and effective, with no conversion. The operative times progressively decreased. Only three minor complications were recorded, all treated conservatively.Conclusions: A standardized training program is highly desirable to learn how to safely perform advanced pediatric thoracoscopy. The 4-steps design seems a valid educational option. The choice of the mentor is crucial. An experience-based profile for pediatric surgeons who may teach thoracoscopy is advisable.

The purpose of the study was to compare and analyze the psychophysiological characteristics of young bas- ketball players who trained according to both traditional program and experimental training program. The experimental training program provides motor actions realization in suddenly changing conditions. Research methods and organization. The study involved 24 basketball players aged 13-14 years, with the expe- rience of sports activities from 5 to 6 years. The complex "NS-Psychotest" (2007, Ivanovo) was used to evalu- ate psychophysiological characteristics using the tests "Simple visual-motor reaction", "Reaction to a moving object" and "Complex visual-motor reaction".. Differences significance was established using one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) with Post-Hoc analysis using the Newman-Keuls criterion (STATISTICA 10 software pack- age). Research results. Our training program aimed to coordination abilities improvement included open competi- tive basketball exercises, a set of body core static exercises and special exercises on the balance ladder. It was revealed that basketball players reaction stability decreasing after the end of training programs both in the experimental group (by 2.67%) and in the control group (by 1.08%) at p <0.05. At the same time most studied psychophysiological characteristics in the experimental group tended to increase, versus decreasing in the control group. Conclusion. Thus, our experimental training program for young basketball players aimed to coordination abilities improvement has a positive effect to the athletes psychophysiological characteristics and it can be used for competitive results improving.

Purpose: to determine the influence of the experimental training program for qualified mixed martial arts fighters of 18-19 years old on their special physical fitness when performing shock actions. Material and methods. The study involved seven athletes 18-19 years old (all athletes - KMSU) department of mixed martial arts ODYUSSH «Dinamovets» in Zhitomir. A training program for qualified junior mixed martial arts fighters was developed using interval and interval-circular training methods with a wide range of general, special and competitive training means. The training program is designed for 15 weeks (may 17 - august 27, 2021) in the preparatory period of the macrocycle, therefore its predominant focus was towards physical fitness. Research methods: analysis of scientific theoretical sources, conversations with specialists, pedagogical observations, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: the dynamics of special physical readiness of qualified fighters was investigated, under the influence of an experimental training program, when performing percussion technique. The study of the dynamics of special physical readiness when performing a series of punches with hands showed significant positive shifts in the total force of punches with hands during the execution of an 8-second series (t=3,02; p˂0.05) and a 40-second series of punches (t=7,69; p˂0,001). The result of the average force of strikes (t=2,21; p˂0,05) in a 40-second series of strikes also noticeably improved. The study of the dynamics of special physical readiness when performing a series of strikes with the dominant leg revealed positive changes in the total force of strikes in the 8-second (t=3,33; p˂0,01) and 40-second (t=5,39; p˂0,001) tests. The high-speed component of the striking technique did not undergo significant positive changes, although there is a tendency towards positive dynamics (p>0,05). Conclusions. It was determined that the introduction of an experimental training program into the educational and training process of 18-19 year old mixed martial arts fighters made it possible to improve the special physical fitness of the fighters when performing specific striking techniques. In five studied indicators, a significant positive trend was obtained, confirmed by mathematical calculations. Significant positive changes in the total strength in the series of punches with the hands and the dominant leg were determined both in the 8-second and in the 40-second tests (p˂0,05 - p˂0,001). We also found a significant positive dynamics in the average force of punches in the 40-second test (p˂0,05).

Background: The aim was to assess the effects of a training program inclusive of contact sports and counseling on school dropout, quality of life (QoL) and psychopathologic symptoms in the youth with a history of school dropout and psychopathic personality traits. Methods: The Experimental Group (EG) consisted of 32 subjects (male 90.6%; age 19.6±4.3 years); the Control Group (CG) consisted of an equal number matched for gender and age with the same psychological features. At the beginning of the experimental Training Program (T0), both cohorts were assessed by a diagnostic psychiatric interview (SCID ANTAS), the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) to evaluate QoL, the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R) for the assessment of psychopathic traits, the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ) to measure general psychopathology. At the end of the program (T1), the coorths were evaluated by SF-12 and SRQ. Results: Twenty-seven subjects in the EG (84.4%) completed the course and underwent the evaluation at T1. The SF-12 score significantly increased from T0 to T1 in both groups, albeit this was more evident in the EG than in the CG, owing to an interaction between time and group. SRQ score significantly decreased in the EG from T0 to T1, while in the CG it did not, although the interaction between time and group was not significant. Conclusion: The experimental training program was effective in improving QoL and countering school dropout in young citizens with psychopathic traits. Further studies are needed to clarify if such results are due to a relationship between the practical tasks approach including contact sports and an improvement in mentalization processes.

Research is oriented on the issue of sports training of young elite soccer players. It was a dvojskupinový, a parallel educational experiment in the natural conditions of the training process. We are exploring the impact of the experimental agent on the dynamics of the game changes the performance of the young elite footballers. The experimental factor in our pedagogical experiment was the content of the training process, accentuating specific training initiatives during the annual training cycle. In its conception, we are based on the premise that specific training stimuli can induce specific adaptation. The results obtained were analysed and compared with the results of the file we experimental players players the checkpoint file. We have reached the conclusion that the training program of the experimental training suggestions as a starting point the changes specific to accentuating the file of the game performance is a complex operation, whose nature as a requirement of the game stems from the nature of the training load. Training program had a statistically significant influence on changes to file experimental performances, the players in the field of special motor performance, to file the experimental gamers the checkpoint file, but also to change the gaming performance, which manifested itself in a higher efficiency of the gaming activities in the scheduled matches (IHV) and at the location of the cooperative in the contest (HVD).
