Volume and intensity study of student-choreographers’ motor activity in process of professional training

The purpose of the study is to analyze the volume and intensity of student-choreographers’ motor activity during educational process at different time intervals in order to provide further corrective methods for the organization of physical education in the course of their professional training. We present the general characteristics of educational process specificity based on modern research. This study substantiates the importance of motor activity assessment for improving the physical education system of student-choreographers through choreographic training. The object of the study is the educational process of student-choreographers in the university, with consideration of its specificity. The review of scientific and specialized literature allowed us to determine the modern understanding of the student’s professional activity in the future, and to reveal the peculiarities of training for the student of creative direction. Pedagogical observation and pedagogical experiment, questionnaire survey, statistical methods of data processing are the primary methods of research subject. The pedagogical experiment involved the evaluation of the volume and intensity of motor activity using an electronic pedometer during the period of training. At the first stage the assessment was made during one lesson, 1.5 hours, and at the second stage during academic day. The subjects were asked to record data daily, which allowed identifying the physical load of studentchoreographers while at the university. The results show that the average student-choreographer performs almost the daily volume of physical activity necessary for a human. Such data allow us to substantiate the need for further research in the trajectory of developing corrective plans within the framework of the discipline “Professional and Applied Physical Training: Choreographic Training”, the basis of which will be the development of a multi-component methodology for physical training of student-choreographers, having recreational and specially oriented physical focus.
