Abstract:

In recent years, water skiing is gaining more and more popularity in Ukraine and the world. Despite the fact that water skiing is not an Olympic sport, it is very popular. Water skiing is a sport and entertainment at the same time. International competitions held in water skiing - European Championships and World Championships. The stage of initial training in water skiing falls on the age of 7-9 years. At this age, children’s aptitudes and abilities are revealed, their health is strengthened, young athletes master the basics of water skiing. Therefore, it is very important at this age to determine the psychophysiological characteristics of children who start water skiing. The purpose of the study was to determine and analyze the psychophysiological characteristics of children 7-9 years old who are engaged in water skiing. Research materials and methods. During the research, the methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, pedagogical analysis, testing of psychophysiological indicators using the software and hardware complex «BOS-test» were used. The results. Based on the results of the study, the psychophysiological characteristics of water skiers were determined based on the indicators of simple visualmotor reaction, complex visual-motor reaction, reaction to a moving object, and a tapping test. These indicators provide information on the speed of reaction and decision-making in difficult situations, determine the level of stress resistance and the degree of development of anticipation processes, as well as the type of nervous system. Conclusions. Determination of the individual psychophysiological characteristics of children engaged in water skiing is necessary for the rational planning and construction of the training process of water skiers.

Abstract:

AbstractWe aimed to elucidate potential differential effects of hypoxia on cardiorespiratory responses during submaximal cycling and simulated skiing exercise between adults and pre-pubertal children. Healthy, low-altitude residents (adults, N=13, Age=40±4yrs.; children, N=13, age=8±2yrs.) were tested in normoxia (Nor: PiO2=134±0.4 mmHg; 940 m) and normobaric hypoxia (Hyp: PiO2=105±0.6 mmHg; ~3 000 m) following an overnight hypoxic acclimation (≥12-hrs). On both days, the participants underwent a graded cycling test and a simulated skiing protocol. Minute ventilation (VE), oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR) and capillary-oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured throughout both tests. The cycling data were interpolated for 2 relative workload levels (1 W·kg−1 & 2 W·kg−1). Higher resting HR in hypoxia, compared to normoxia was only noted in children (Nor:78±17; Hyp:89±17 beats·min−1; p<0.05), while SpO2 was significantly lower in hypoxia (Nor:97±1%; Hyp:91±2%; p<0.01) with no between-group differences. The VE, VO2 and HR responses were higher during hypoxic compared to normoxic cycling test in both groups (p<0.05). Except for greater HR during hypoxic compared to normoxic skiing in children (Nor:155±19; Hyp:167±13 (beats·min−1); p<0.05), no other significant between-group differences were noted during the cycling and skiing protocols. In summary, these data suggest similar cardiorespiratory responses to submaximal hypoxic cycling and simulated skiing in adults and children.

Abstract:

There are many commonly discussed myths about ski safety that are propagated by industry, physicians, and skiers. Through a review of the literature concerning 12 such topics, this article demonstrates that the following are untrue: (1) Broken legs have been traded for blown-out knees. (2) If you know your DIN (a slang term for release indicator value), you can adjust your own bindings. (3) Toe and heel piece settings must be the same to function properly. (4) Formal ski instruction will make you safer. (5) Very short skis do not need release bindings. (6) Spending a lot of money on children’s equipment is not worth the cost. (7) Children need plenty of room in ski boots for their growing feet. (8) If you think you are going to fall, just relax. (9) Exercise can prevent skiing injuries. (10) Lower release settings can reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. (11) Buying new ski equipment is safer than renting. (12) Skiing is among the most dangerous of activities. It is important for the skiing public, physicians, and all those interested in improving skiing safety to verify the measures they advocate. The statements analyzed here are simply untrue and have the potential to cause harm if taken as fact by those exposed to these unsupported opinions.

Abstract:

Abstract Background In alpine skiing, physical training can start at an early age, from 4 to 6 years old, an age that can play an important role in the further development of future athletes. Specific movements of physical exercise, such as walking, running, jumping, throwing, climbing, swimming, dancing, skiing, etc., can be performed by preschoolers without excessive physical stress, developing their skills and gradually preparing them for performance. This stage of childhood offers the best opportunities for acquiring new motor skills. The scientific approach started from the finding that, although the ski training of children is possible and recommended at preschool age, however, following the analysis of the literature, a lack of teaching methodology for this age group can be found, both at the national and international level. Aim The paper aims to propose an educational model specific to this age group, which can be used in teaching the discipline of alpine skiing, in sports clubs and associations or instructor associations. Methods The study is based on the modeling method, applied to the physical training activity, also considering the psychomotor features specific to the preschool child. The proposed methodology contains tests and testing standards aiming the general physical training of the children. Results The objectives pursued by applying this model consist in forming or developing both general and specific motor qualities, as well as educating the coordinative capacities. By applying this instructive-educational model in the physical training of preschooler children, an increase of their sports performance was demonstrated, which is verified by the results obtained at national competitions, intended for the specific categories of their age. Conclusions The model of the alpine skier for this age must consider the particularities specific to the age, and the learning methods must be adequate, rational and flexible, to ensure an easy learning, assimilable to playing activities.

Abstract:

Until recently, there is no research data and research on the control and modeling of training loads in skiing for children of children's and youth sports schools using modern databases in the training process. The purpose is to show one of the possible approaches to the analysis and generalization of training loads in the training of skiers, help scientists and trainers-practitioners, as well as encourage them to find alternative ways, forms and methods of studying the creative activity of the coach. Research methods: study, analysis and synthesis of literature, pedagogical observations, methods of mathematical statistics using Access database management system. Result. The automated information system of pedagogical control of educational and training loads on the example of skiing is presented, which is developed on the basis of the Access database management system. Its use allows: to carry out unified collection of information; to calculate derived indicators and do statistical data processing; to reflect the dynamics of the main parameters of training and competitive loads; to compile various types of reports for the period of any duration; to create models of various structural formations of the educational and training process in skiing.

Abstract:

Alpine skiing is a predominantly technical discipline, whose basic feature is balancing in sliding, it takes place outdoors, in special environmental conditions: altitude, weather conditions, terrain, and types of snow. Practiced regularly from an early age, under the proper guidance of coaches, skiing is transforming from a recreational sport, especially important for children’s health and their harmonious development, into a performance sport. This paper aims to present a new approach to the training systems of alpine skiers on snow. In addition to physical training close to the characteristics of the discipline - we consider that it is necessary a special physical training - of the physical qualities required by the competition effort, respectively of balancing in conditions of sliding on the snow. In this sense, the paper tries to demonstrate that by applying some efficient operational structures in the trainings carried out on the snow, it is possible to improve the execution speed and implicitly the technical expression in the slalom events.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Management of children with disorders of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation is a common aspect of paediatric neurosurgical practice. Sport and physical activity play an integral role in the lives of patients in this age group. However, there is little evidence to support the dissemination of appropriate advice to children regarding such activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perspectives of clinicians across the UK regarding the participation of children with disorders of CSF circulation in sports. Methods Questionnaires were distributed to Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeons practising across the UK via the Society of British Neurological Surgeons (SBNS). Five different patient scenarios were supplied, and participants were asked to choose whether they would advise participation in the following sports: Taekwondo, rugby, skiing, and football. Results An overall response rate of 66.7% (36 out of 54 paediatric neurosurgeons) was achieved. The following percentages of clinicians advocated football, rugby, Taekwondo, and skiing across all scenarios: 96%, 75%, 77%, and 97%, respectively. The majority of responders (91.2%) relied on personal experience when providing advice, whilst 50% used available literature and 19.4% used available guidelines. Conclusions There is a paucity of evidence in the literature to support the dissemination of appropriate advice to children with disorders of CSF circulation regarding participation in sports. Our findings demonstrate that the majority of clinicians rely on personal experience to make such decisions, emphasizing the necessity of larger scale studies to inform evidence-based guidelines.

Abstract:

My colleague and I came to a centre for rights protection of children and adolescents in a city in Northern Russia. It was a winter day with snow all over. In an open space between the houses, just before the entrance to the centre building, we met two eight or nine-year-old girls, skiing. They were smoking cigarettes. My colleague, who is a Russian, said as a joke: “Don’t you know when you smoke a second head will grow on your shoulders?” The answer came right-away: “I don’t care!” This little conversation in Russian was our introduction to a series of meetings with different spokespersons working at arenas with influence on child and adolescent welfare in the region.

Abstract:

Objectives This study is to explore the formation process of family leisure culture of elementary school teacher ski mania and to find out what it suggests to physical activity-oriented leisure activities. Methods To this end, a cultural and technical study was conducted on a family who skied in the 2021-2022 season. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and related data, and data were analyzed through domain analysis and taxonomic analysis. Results The process of forming a family leisure culture in elementary school teachers' ski mania was shown in five stages: motivation, preparation, beginning, development, and settlement. The motivation stage was the will of the parents, the growth of the children, and the influence of COVID-19. The preparation stage was the selection of season tickets considering economic efficiency, selection of season rooms(houses) considering safety, and purchase of equipment reflecting the opinions of children. The beginning stage was indicated by spending the weekends at a ski resort, limited environment and practice time, and an environment more attractive than skiing. The development stage appeared as skiing skills developed along with turns, praise and assistance from people around them, and practice of voluntary skiing activities. The settlement stage appeared to form a challenging spirit through trying new slopes seal, strengthen family cohesion, and design the next season. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that it raises family cohesion and will to love family through the process of forming a family leisure culture in elementary school teachers ski mania, and presents a case in which nature experience-type leisure activities can be practiced in an era of pandemic such as COVID-19. Furthermore, these leisure activities will provide teachers with an opportunity to relieve stress from teaching life and recharge their bodies and minds.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of skiing on the biomotoric characteristics of children with evaluating tests of girls between the ages of eight and 14 before and after the season. The experimental group of this study was 15 girls who had just started skiing and the control group of 30 girls. In total, 45 volunteers joined the study. To follow the development of the children in the study, the Bruininks biomotoric-Oseretsky proficiency testing of engines, Second Edition Short Form (BOT 2 brief) test: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination, Balance, Running Speed and Agility, Upper-Limb Coordination, and Strength was used and total scores were measured. All measurements observed changes in the first test by applying the latest testing methods. The Windows SPSS 17.0 statistical package program was used to analyze the data with Independent-Sample t-test to find the differences between the groups. Statistically meaningful levels resulted as p< 0.05 and p< 0.001. No meaningful differences were found in the comparison of the motoric features of the girls who ski and those who do not in their pre-test. A meaningful difference was found in fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score after ski training. Ski training contributed to the fine motor skills, fine motor accord and total score of the girls.

Abstract:

Object Helmet use has been associated with fewer hospital visits among injured skiers and snowboarders, but there remains no evidence that helmets alter the intracranial injury patterns. The authors hypothesized that helmet use among skiers and snowboarders reduces the incidence of head injury as defined by findings on head CT scans. Methods The authors performed a retrospective review of head-injured skiers and snowboarders at 2 Level I trauma centers in New England over a 6-year period. The primary outcome of interest was intracranial injury evident on CT scans. Secondary outcomes included the following: need for a neurosurgical procedure, presence of spine injury, need for ICU admission, length of stay, discharge location, and death. Results Of the 57 children identified who sustained a head injury while skiing or snowboarding, 33.3% were wearing a helmet at the time of injury. Of the helmeted patients, 5.3% sustained a calvarial fracture compared with 36.8% of the unhelmeted patients (p = 0.009). Although there was a favorable trend, there was no significant difference in the incidence of epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or contusion in helmeted and unhelmeted patients. With regard to secondary outcomes, there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in percentage of patients requiring neurosurgical intervention, percentage requiring admission to an ICU, total length of stay, or percentage discharged home. There was no difference in the incidence of cervical spine injury. There was 1 death in an unhelmeted patient, and there were no deaths among helmeted patients. Conclusions Among hospitalized children who sustained a head injury while skiing or snowboarding, a significantly lower number of patients suffered a skull fracture if they were wearing helmets at the time of the injury.

Abstract:

One of the most urgent and socially significant problems of modern medicine is the widespread occurrence of orthopedic pathology, among which the leading place is occupied by diseases of the spine, accompanied by a steady increase in pain vertebrogenic syndromes that affect the functioning of the child's body as a whole. The prevalence of this nosological form in children, according to various population studies, ranges from 0.42 to 37%. ScheuermannMau disease (Scheuermanns kyphosis) is the most common osteochondropathy in children and adolescents and ranges from 0.48.3% of the pediatric population. To date, the etiology of osteochondropathy of the spine is still unclear. Medical rehabilitation of children with osteochondropathy of the spine is aimed at preventing further progression of deformity, normalizing posture, the functions of the cardio-respiratory system and includes: rational motor mode and nutrition, conservative orthopedic measures (corsetting), kinesiotherapy, hydrocolonotherapy, massage, positional treatment, restorative and hardening procedures, physiotherapy (electrical muscle stimulation), sports (skiing, swimming). An important place in the review is given to the description of the stages of medical rehabilitation of children and adolescents with dorsalgia on the background of spinal osteochondropathy who underwent surgical treatment.

Abstract:

SummaryIntroduction.Forearm fractures make up a significant part of overall fracture rate in pediatric population, especially in 7-15 years old children. Different methods of treatment have been used, depending on the age of children and type and localization of fracture. Most controversies can be seen among conservative and surgical methods of treatment.Aim of the Study.The aim of our study is to identify common localizations and types of forearm bone fractures in pediatric population, as well as analyze patient data and treatment process depending on selected method of treatment for out-patients and in-patients.Materials and Methods.Retrospective analysis of out-patient and in-patient records, treated in University Children’s hospital from 2007 to 2011 was made, including first time patients with fractures of one or both forearm bones, according to ICD-10 codes S52.0- S52.9. Demographical data, trauma mechanisms, localization and type of fracture, as well as applied treatment and stay length at hospital were analyzed. 1742 out-patients and 1029 in-patients, 7-15 years old at the moment of trauma, were included in this research.Results.2771 forearm fractures were registered, 62.9% patients were treated on out-patient basis, 37.1 % patients required treatment in hospital. Forearm bone fractures were gender specific - 2235 boys and 536 girls had to be treated (Male:Female ratio was 4.2 : 1). The peak incidence was seen in 13 years old boys and girls. Boys suffered from forearm fractures more often in any age group. Most common mechanisms of injuries causing forearm fractures in children were related with sports trainings - 22.1%, skiing - 15.0% and traffic injuries - 10.0%. Most common activities at the moment of trauma differ by season - during winter months they include skiing, skating and sledging while in summer falls from height, bicycles and swings are dominant. Several trauma mechanisms, like sport trainings, are not season-dependent. Some injury mechanisms differ significantly by gender. Boys were more often as girls injured during sports trainings and skiing, while girls experience forearm fractures due to bicycling and skating. Occurrence of forearm fractures in children has seasonal differences with two peaks: from June to August and from December to February. Distal forearm fractures are the most often seen localization of overall forearm fractures (42 % in boys and 36 % in girls). In out-patients group conservative treatment was performed - plaster immobilization in 1339 cases and closed reduction, followed by plaster immobilization in 403 cases. In-patients were treated both - conservatively with immobilization in 21 cases and closed reduction in 188 cases, and surgically with K-wire osteosynthesis in 137 cases or elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in 683 cases. The type and localization of each fracture, along with the age of patient, are the key factors for choosing the right treatment method. K-wire osteosynthesis was performed in all age groups for unstable fractures in distal or proximal third of forearm. ESIN was a method of choice for unstable or comminuted midshaft fractures of one or both bones, metadiaphyseal fractures and some specific conditions (radial neck fractures, Monteggia fractures-dislocations), especially in older patients. Stay length at hospital was ranging from 1 to 2 hospital days in case of immobilization (mean = 1,05 days), from 1 to 4 days in closed reduction group (mean = 1,32 days), but 1 to 12 days in hospital spent children after K-wire osteosynthesis (mean = 1,99 days) or ESIN (mean = 2,38 days).Conclusions.1. Forearm fractures in children have a significant gender diversity (M : F ratio is 4,2 : 1).2. Peak incidence group is 13 years old adolescents of both genders.3. Seasonality and season-specific injury patterns are typical for pediatric forearm fractures.4. The most common anatomic localization is the distal segment of forearm bones.5. Younger children (7-9 years) are mainly treated by conservative methods, while methods of choice for treatment of forearm fractures in adolescents (13-15 years) are operative.6. Surgical treatment of fractures do not significantly increase stay length at hospital.

Abstract:

Object The purpose of this study was to evaluate how currently used helmets would perform for winter play activities, such as tobogganing. In Canada and northern parts of the US, the advent of winter is followed by an increase in visits to hospital emergency departments by young children presenting with head injuries resulting from winter activities. Sliding, skating, skiing, and snowboarding all involve risks of head injury from situations such as falling on ice or sliding into stationary objects. This study compared the protective characteristics of helmets used by young children (< 7 years of age) participating in winter recreational activities. Methods Ice hockey, alpine ski, and bicycling helmets were impacted at 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 m/second at the front and side impact location by using a monorail drop rig. Results The results for the front impact showed that the ice hockey helmet protected the child significantly better at 2 and 4 m/second when considering both linear and angular peak acceleration. The bicycle helmet performed significantly better than the other 2 helmets at 8 m/second for the front location and only angularly for the side impacts. Conclusions Depending on the impact velocity of the hazard, the type of helmet significantly affected the risk of brain injury.

Abstract I got my first exposure to waterfowl when I was very young living in Garfield, Utah. Kennecott Copper Company owned the town. Some of the marshes of the Great Salt Lake were very near. The Company provided recreation for all their employees. Included was a huge clubhouse with a bowling alley, boxing ring, theatre, and further east was the Copper Club golf course, and east of that was the Kennecott Duck Club. The Duck Club took in all the land between 2100 South to 3100 South and from about 4000 West to 5600 West. It was a series of ponds and canals that provided hunting, fishing, and water skiing for the employees and a whole world of discovery for their children. I caught my first limit of rainbow trout there.1

Abstract:

The article is devoted to a targeted search of scientific literature sources aimed at compiling a review of data on the use of physiotherapy methods in the medical rehabilitation of children with spinal osteochondropathy. One of the most urgent and socially significant issues of modern medicine is the widespread prevalence of orthopedic pathology, among which the leading positions are taken by diseases of the spine. Recently, in the population of children and adolescents, there has been a steady increase in pain syndromes of a vertebrogenic nature, leading to impaired physical functioning. According to various population studies, the prevalence of this nosological form ranges from 0.42 to 37% among the child population. The prevalence of Scheuermann — Mau disease in the general population of children and adolescents ranges from 0.4–8.3%. This pathology is the most common among all children osteochondropathies. To date, the etiology of spinal osteochondropathy is still unclear. Due to the asymptomatic course, the disease is not always diagnosed in the early stages of development, which creates certain difficulties in diagnosing and prescribing an effective treatment for the disease. Medical rehabilitation of children with osteochondropathy of the spine is aimed at preventing further progression of deformity, improving posture, respiratory function and cardiovascular system and includes: a rational exercise regime and nutrition, bracing and cold water treatment procedures, conservative orthopedic measures (wearing a corset, staying in a plaster bed), active correction of deformity (kinesiotherapy), hydrokinetic therapy, massage, passive correction of deformity (treatment by position), physiotherapy (electrical muscle stimulation), sports (skiing, swimming).

Abstract:

Little research has focused on and tried to understand the link between children’s participation in sports and their human rights. In Norway, children’s leisure athletics and sports participation are regulated through rules of sport (crs), voted in the Executive Board of the Norwegian Olympic and Paraolympic Committee and Confederation of Sports (“Idrettstinget”). The crs represent formal legislation rooted in the un Convention on the Rights of the Child, binding for all Norwegian sport coaches in their work with children until the age of 13. This qualitative study investigates coaches’ views of talent and talent development, and examines their views in the children’s rights perspective. The study is based on interviews with eight professional coaches in football (soccer), gymnastics, swimming and skiing. In important areas the coaches’ views are consistent with children’s rights; however, there are also coaches who speak out in violation of the rights.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND Due to fatigue or feelings of insecurity, many brain tumor patients are not sufficiently active. Among other things, this puts patients at higher risk for sarcopenia predicting overall survival. Exercise interventions of various kinds could effectively counteract this problem. Here, we aim to present the impact of a one-week skiing intervention on leg muscle strength in brain tumor patients and their caregivers as well as feasibility and safety of the intervention. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten brain tumor patients and their families participated in this one-week skiing intervention in a self-catering lodge at 1400m altitude. Daily 4-hour ski sessions (including approx. 1 hour rest) with professional ski instructors were performed in small groups (≤5 participants) divided by proficiency level. Participants could choose between downhill and cross-country skiing. Adverse events were noted daily. Muscle strength was determined 3-10 days pre- and postintervention on 5 different gym machines (knee extension, knee flexion, adductors, abductors, leg press) using Brzycki's equation. RESULTS 20 adults (10 patients, 10 caregivers) and 7 children participated in the ski-based intervention. All patients were surgically treated at least once and received chemo- and/or radiotherapy (ongoing chemotherapy in 6 patients). No severe adverse events were recorded throughout the week. 15 adults (9 patients, 56% female; 6 caregivers, 67% female) aged 21-69 years (mean 50 years) completed the muscle strength tests. Of those, most patients suffered from grade 4 brain tumors (67%), followed by grade 2 (22%) and grade 1 (11 %) tumors. Mean muscle strength increased in all muscle groups tested (knee extension +13.5%, p=.024, CI 95%: -0.5 - 29.1; knee flexion +7.1%, p=.048 CI 95%: -1.0 - 14.0; adductors +6.6%, p=.039, CI 95%: 1.3 - 13.4; abductors 20.0%, p=.004, CI 95%: 6.9 - 35.7; leg press +19.5%, p=.050, CI 95%: -5.6 - 44.6). Tumor grade, gender, type of ski intervention, and age did not affect the RESULTS . CONCLUSION During one week of intensive ski training, positive effects on leg muscle strength could be shown in both brain tumor patients and their families regardless of age, gender, downhill/cross-country ski, or WHO grading. Furthermore, this study demonstrates feasibility and safety of ski-based exercises in this patient population. Interventions such as these could help patients overcome (gait) insecurities and motivate them to become more physically active in their daily lives. In the longer term, this may lead to better management of everyday life and improved quality of life.

Abstract:

The spa press at the beginning of the XXth century often raised issues related to tourism, sport and recreation. The columnists appreciated the importance of health and the educational potential of active forms of spending free time. Activity was given an institutionalized character. This paper presents the active forms of recreation recommended to Polish society through their presentation in the magazine “Nasze Zdroje” (1910–1914). Hence, the article indicates the active forms of recreation available in the resorts such as mountain climbing, sports tourism, and skiing, as well as discussing the content popularizing mountain trips. Tips were given on how to prepare for this type of expedition, often combined with visiting historical monuments. Summer camps, including therapeutic camps, for children and adolescents were discussed, and were strongly promoted. Proposed recreational activities in the open air (walking, playing, and games) were presented, taking into account the educational aspect: instilling healthy habits in young people and adults.

Abstract:

The article substantiates the organizational and methodological features of attracting children of middle school age to recreational activities on roller skates and skiing. According to the results of Aizenko's test, among 36 adolescents, 44.4% were found to be choleric, 33.3% - sanguine, 11.1% - melancholic, 11.1% - phlegmatic types of temperament. For every kind of temperament, average values were determined by categories of motivation. So, in adolescents of the sanguine type of temperament, the highest level of motivation is the approval of the coach (peers) and self- improvement; the lowest level - is material reward and staying in competitive conditions. For adolescents of the melancholic type of temperament, the highest level of motivation is the approval of the coach and peers, competition, friendship, and team relationships. The lowest level is staying in competition conditions. For adolescents of the choleric temperament type, the highest level of motivation is physical fitness, interest in competitive activity, and training as a means of comprehensive self- improvement. Material rewards and attractiveness to the opposite sex have the least motivational influence. The top categories of motivation for adolescents with the phlegmatic type of temperament are self-improvement and increased physical fitness. The lowest level is the attraction to the opposite sex and being in competitive conditions. Methodological recommendations are proposed for involving children of middle school age in recreational and health-improving physical activity.

Abstract:

Background. The comprehensive assessment of mentality in children on the population scale is necessary to develop measures for optimal shaping of the country’s future potential. However, the correlations between cognitive and socio-characterological parameters of the emerging personality makes it difficult to collect information and decreases the efficiency of traditional analysis methods on the population scale. The aim of the study is to estimate the correlations between cognitive activity social functioning of schoolchildren using artificial intelligence methods. Methods. The study included schoolchildren from 5th and 9th grades who studied in secondary schools in 8 major Russian cities. The survey used a battery of tests to assess cognitive performance and a questionnaire of extracurricular activities which was completed by parents. The analysis was performed using clustering and machine learning methods. Results. The battery of cognitive tests was used to examine 1983 children from 5th and 9th grades. Parents of 1,171 of them completed the extracurricular activity questionnaire. Two clusters of different levels of cognitive success of children and adolescents in both age groups were identified. The high level of cognitive activity was determined in cases associated with attending music school, non-sports hobbies in schoolchildren of both age groups in general; basketball, football, dancing, summer holidays in camps in 5th grade schoolchildren; and swimming, skiing, competitive sports (non-professional), tutoring sections, computer programming in 9th grade schoolchildren. Conclusion. The correlations between the level of cognitive activity and the individual typology of extracurricular activities (based on features of personality formation and social influence of the family) has been determined.

Abstract:

Aim. The aim of the study was to acquire knowledge on the contribution of younger school children in organized and nonorganized physical activity. Basic procedures. The main research method was a diagnostic survey. The level of physical activity was determined on the basis of the frequency (number of days per week) and volume (number of hours per week) of organized and non-organized activity. The SPSS 21 (IBM Corp., 2012) programme was used for statistical analysis of the results. Results. The highest percentage values among the subjects in each age group were recorded in the range of the average level of physical activity. Approximately 2/3 of the subjects in each age group participated in organized physical activity. Almost every third child exercised once a week, the activity lasted one hour. Among the forms of organized physical activity in which children are most likely to participate, those which dominate include: corrective gymnastics, dance and swimming. The vast majority of subjects preferred non-organized physical activity. Daily contact with such activity occurred in the case of about 1/4 of the subjects. Over 1/3 of the participants spent more than 4 hours a week on such activity. Only a few performed this type for 1 hour, and with age, this duration gradually decreased. A typical form of non-organized physical activity was cycling. Games using a ball, other various games, football, roller-skating and swimming were also popular. Conclusions. The studied participants were more likely to perform non-organized forms of movement than those organized. In addition to physical activity, quite a large percentage of the surveyed children spent their free time in front of the TV or playing computer games. Along with the increase in age, there was a rise in the interest in tennis, football and computer games, and there was less interest in skiing or playing games.
