The impact of the use of health-preserving technology using cyclic exercises and aerobics in combination with creative tasks on the physical fitness of future teachers of humanitarian specialties

Background and purpose Currently, there is an increase in the importance of humanities universities and humanities education. The need to develop innovative technology for applicants for humanities specialties and develop general recommendations for independent physical exercise classes. Goal: to develop and substantiate a technology using aerobics and a combination with creative tasks for use in physical education of future teachers of humanities specialties. Material and methods The study involved 50 girls - applicants of the H.S. Skovoroda KhNPU, aged 18-21, 25 of whom made up the experimental group, who were engaged in the developed technology. The control group consisted of 25 people who were engaged in the same amount of time according to the traditional physical education program for universities. The following indicators were recorded: body weight, body length, body mass index, vital lung capacity, chest circumference and its excursion, health indexes, Harvard step test index. The level of physical fitness was recorded using the following indicators: time to run a 30 m segment, walk 6 min. (m), jump height (cm). Intervention technology. Cyclic exercises were walks at an average pace with the task of observing infrastructure and nature objects for 1.5-2 hours with heart rate measurement 3 times a week. After the walk, it was necessary to describe your observations. Aerobics was also used 3 times a week, since aerobics is based on the development of endurance and mobility of the nervous system due to the frequent change of exercises. Results In the experimental group of students, optimization of the functional state and an increase in the level of physical fitness were observed, which was manifested in a significant increase in vital capacity (p<0.05), a significant increase in chest excursion (p<0.001), the Pirogov index (p<0.05), and the Harvard step test index (p<0.05). Also, significant changes were observed in the experimental group in terms of physical fitness (p<0.05). In the control group, these changes are not significant and many of them are negative. Conclusion The technology of combining cyclic exercises and aerobics with creative tasks had a positive effect on the level of physical development, physical fitness and functional capabilities of future teachers of humanitarian specialties.
