DEAF STUDENTS' PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS DURING THE PRACTICING THE SPORT WALKING
Introduction. Regular sports walking can significantly increase the accuracy of movement and provide the strong stimulating effect on the human body, especially for the young people. They greatly enhance the general functional characteristics of the body and stimulate metabolic processes in it. Purpose of the study: to assess the influence of systematic sports walking lessons on the motor properties of students with hearing loss of I-II degrees. Methodology and organization of the study. The study involved 28 students aged 18 years, suffering from I-II degree hearing loss. They included the main group of 14 students who began to engage in race walking, and the group that became the control group of 14 people who continued to show muscle activity only in university physical education classes. In the study, functional tests were used and the results of passing the standards were assessed. The results of the work carried out were processed using the Student's criterion (t) and correlation analysis. Research results and discussion. Regular muscular loads during race walking increased coordination characteristics, motor capabilities and the level of stability of their body in space. Walking trainees increased their general physical fitness and endurance levels. Conclusions. Regular sports walking exercises increase strength capabilities, endurance level, coordination and speed characteristics among students with hearing loss.
