Abstract

Topicality. The existence of a forced decline in the motor activity of visually impaired students, which leads to low physical fitness indicators compared to their relatively healthy peers, causes the formation of coordination disorders that can be persistent and significantly limit their motor abilities. The Aim of the Research is to reveal the preconditions for the development of the physical culture concept and health-improving technology for 12-year-old schoolchildren with visual impairment in the process of adaptive physical education. Purpose and Methods. The research study involved 23 schoolchildren aged 12 years old. 13 – visually impaired and 10 – relatively healthy. Pedagogical study has been conducted guided by ethical principles and based on informed consent. The following methods have been used in the study: theoretical (analysis of scientific and methodological literature, theoretical analysis and generalization, system analysis); pedagogical research (experiment and testing of physical fitness indicators); standard tests were used to determine the level of physical fitness; mathematical static data processing. Results and Key Conclusions. The study of the results obtained in the group of 12-year-old relatively healthy schoolchildren showed that the majority of those performed the test of speed and agility at a sufficient level and above it. In terms of endurance, all the participants performed trunk lifts at a sufficient level, and when jumping rope, they performed the exercise at a satisfactory level more often than their visually impaired peers. Scientists argue that it is possible to improve the level of physical fitness of visually impaired students in secondary education through adaptive physical education. However, the existing programs are not adapted to the modern realities of the educational process and do not include the latest approaches and methods. All of the above determines the relevance of developing the concept of applying physical culture and health technology for visually impaired students in the process of adaptive physical education, which is the prospect of further scientific research.
