Abstract

The modern rhythm of life requires from the body well-coordinated work and respond to changes in various spheres of life. The COVID-19 encourages distance education, which contributes to the sedentary life style of children. The success of a pupil’s education is determined by his level of health, especially for primary school children. One of the main aspects of the body normal functioning is the correct posture. This special aspect became the subject of research. The Purpose of the Study is – experimentally test the method of using carriage exercises and maintaining the optimal level of functional status for primary school children during distance education. Research Organization. The study was performed from March 2020 to June 2020 at the premises of collegium «Elint», Zaporozhye. It was attended by 71 boys aged 7-8 who were divided into experimental (n=36) and control (n=35) groups, all boys were classified in the main medical group. Results. The data obtained during the research revealed both positive (shoulder index and Kettle index) and negative (Ruffier’s functional test) dynamics in students during distance learning. But the best result was shown by the experimental group, due to the fact that during the construction of the methodology, we took into consideration not only sensitive development, but also those aspects that would motivate the children before classes. Conclusion. The established problem of the researched question allowed to develop a method of using carriage exercises and maintaining the optimal level of functional status for primary school children during distance education. Noticed that the developed method has really positive influence, easy to use and can be applied by all members of society.
