Abstract

Topicality. Current stage of Physical Education (PE) development at schools is characterized by the need to update content, constant search for effective methods for developing physical qualities, and the integration of innovations into PE classes and extracurricular activities. One such innovation is aerial acrobatics and pole sports, which have gained popularity as forms of motor activity influencing students` interest in physical exercises and the development of physical qualities. The purpose and methods of the research were experimentally assess the impact of a comprehensive physical and technical training program in aerial acrobatics and pole sports on flexibility and strength endurance development. The study employed analysis and synthesis of literature, pedagogical experimentation, and methods of mathematical statistics. The results revealed improvements in flexibility indicators during the Bridge exercise. They have changed from 45.07±5.42 cm to 37.13±3.79 cm. During the Longitudinal twine by the right leg exercise, the flexibility indicators have changed from -2.53±2.31 cm to 4.33±1.03 cm; during the Longitudinal twine exercise by the left leg – from -4.7±1.47 cm to 4.47±1.17 cm; and during the Cross split exercise – from -5.6±1.83 cm to -2.73±1.39 cm. A statistically significant difference was observed at p<0.05. Similar improvements have been found in strength endurance development, with statistically significant differences between experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) indicators. For instance, during the Bending and extending hands in a supine position exercise, EG indicators improved from 21.93±1.2 times to 33.13±1.14, and the time of maintaining body position in the supine position changed from 125.33±11.66 s to 288.0±18.18 s (p<0.05). In conclusion, it has been established that a comprehensive program of physical and technical training incorporating aerial acrobatics and pole sports, which includes general and specialized exercises along with technical training, is more effective and positively affects the development of flexibility and strength endurance. This is evidenced by the statistically significant improvement in these physical qualities among the female experimental group (EG) compared to the control group (CG) across all studied parameters.
