ON THE QUESTION ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF AQUA AEROBICS ON THE INDEXES OF PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF CHILDREN AGED 7–8 YEARS
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of water aerobics on the indicators of physical development and functional state of children aged 7–8 years. It is no secret that the main form of organization of physical education at school is a physical education lesson. Is it possible to meet the motor needs of children of primary school age and ensure the achievement of the necessary level of development of basic skills and abilities that are so necessary for solving specific motor tasks under various conditions of practical activity? The answer is obvious-no. It is worth turning to additional education and studying more deeply the impact of water aerobics classes on the physical condition of children aged 7–8 years, which is suggested by the author. Based on the research conducted by him, it becomes possible to develop theoretical and methodological foundations for the purposeful use of water aerobics in the process of health-improving physical culture, to prove the impact of such classes on the indicators of physical development and functional state. As a result, the author substantiates the idea of introducing the developed program into the variable part of physical culture classes, which positively affects the involvement of students in the health and training process, contributing to the improvement of physical development, functional state, and increasing the level of physical fitness of children aged 7–8 years.
