Organisational and methodological competence of a trainer in the conditions of industrial pedagogical placement in rural areas

In practice, physical education is an efficient measure for preventing antisocial behaviour among the population. This is especially relevant in rural areas. To date, rural areas of the country are characterised by a low development level of social and engineering infrastructure, compared to urban areas. In addition, there is a problem concerning the lack of funding for the development of sports infrastructure, the system of physical culture and sports events, as well as the attraction of sports personnel to rural settlements. These factors lead to a low level of physical training of children and young people in rural areas. In order to attract sports personnel to rural areas, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has instructed to launch the federal programme ‘Zemsky trener [country trainer]’ from 2025, according to which every trainer who moves to a village, working-class settlement, urban-type settlement or town with a population of less than 50,000 people will receive a one-time payment of 1 million roubles. At present, physical training is of particular importance for rural residents as future specialists in the agro-industrial complex, since the country’s food security depends on the efficiency of the agricultural sector. Therefore, it is important to acquaint the rural youth with physical culture since their school days instilling a need for physical activity, which will ensure an optimal level of health, good physical fitness and high-performance capability of rural residents. All this cannot be achieved without a well-qualified trainer with the necessary competences.
