APPLICATION OF CONTROL EXERCISES (TESTS) IN PEDAGOGICAL CONTROL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS IN ATHLETES WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES

The article discusses the issues of choosing control exercises (tests) to assess the physical fitness of track and field athletes with intellectual disabilities aged 12-14 years at the stage of initial training. The trend of transferring the sports training of adult athletes to work with children and adolescents has not bypassed the sport of people with intellectual disabilities. A number of risk factors, against the background of an increasingly lower initial level of health of each subsequent generation of children and teenagers, expand the area of negative influences and consequences of sports activities. A mentally retarded child (intellectual quotient below 70) has a significant limitation in adaptive actions established before the age of 18. A lag from the norm is noted in strength, speed, endurance, and coordination. When solving problems corresponding to the stage of initial training, as well as correcting the educational and training process of athletes with intellectual disabilities, the need arises for a quantitative assessment of various human properties, including those that cannot be objectively measured. This fact was taken into account when choosing control exercises (tests), consisting of heterogeneous complexes of various directions using the method of expert assessments. In order to form a set of control exercises (tests) in short distance running for athletes with intellectual disabilities, the method of Pearson correlation and graph visualization was applied during the study. When assessing the level of physical fitness of track and field athletes with intellectual disabilities, the correlation of control exercises (tests) with the 100 m run and cardiac index was taken into account. Based on the results of the study, a set of control exercises (tests) was recommended to obtain reliable information about the level of physical fitness of track and field athletes with intellectual disabilities in the sports discipline «short distance running».
