Preparation of senior secondary school students for reaching the qualifying standards of the All-Russian physical education and sports complex "Ready for Labor and Defense" (GTO)
At present there is one of the most important problems of the society is the issue of searching for new technologies and forms of physical education of the young generation, comprehensive individual development and the process of keeping fit. Special attention is paid to harmonization of moving activity of the young generation in the period of getting education. Physical culture and mass sports have an enormous social importance and a great potential concerning the recovery of the society. The interest in physical education and sports on the part of the majority of young people is still weak and low. It was necessary to create a modern and effective state system of physical education of the rising generation to solve this problem. Its core element was the All-Russian gymnastic and sports complex “Ready for Labor and Defense”. The preparation of young people for meeting the requirements and taking tests of the complex “Ready for Labor and Defense” is provided by the systematic lessons of physical culture at the educational institutions, sports clubs, groups of the general athletic training and individually. Taking into account the fact that the level of physical education of the senior schoolchildren, which they get at their lessons of physical culture is not sufficient to do the tests of the complex “Ready for Labor and Defense” successfully, it is necessary to look for new and effective means and methods of teaching physical education.
