The effect of physical exercises on the balance of children aged 10-12 years with special educational needs

The article deals with the balance maintenance by children aged 10-12 years with special educational needs. Initial examinations have shown that children with special needs can maintain balance for a short period of time, but can fall when performing motor exercises that require coordination. The aim of the study was to substantiate and evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercises in terms of correction of balance indicators in children aged 10-12 years with special educational needs. Our research has shown that balance indicators correspond to low and below average levels. Based on the data obtained, a methodology was developed to improve and correct balance indicators. After implementing the program, a significant improvement in the PBS balance scale scores of children with special educational needs in the main group was found. The increase of their indicators increased by 30.5 %.
