The Influence of the Coordination Abilities Development of Pupils at 15–16 Years of Age on the Level of Assimilation of a Direct Attack Hit in Volleyball

Abstract

Topicality of the study is caused by the need to develop the coordination skills of pupils at 15–16 of age, which provide their ability to perform a direct volleyball hit. The Purpose of the Research is to analyze the problem of development of coordination abilities of schoolchildren at 15–16 years of age for improving their direct striking hit. The Research Methods are theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical testing, and pedagogical observation, methods of mathematical statistics. The Participants of the Research. This study was conducted on the basis of Lutsk secondary school № 10. The study involved 60 schoolchildren at 15–16 years of age. The children and their parents were informed about all research features and they agreed to participate in the experiment. The Research Results. After the experiment, it was found that in the control and experimental groups there were changes in the indicators of pupils` coordination abilities development. Thus, in the experimental group (EG) they increased in the range of 12 % – 58 %, whereas in the control group (CG) – only in the range of 1–9 %. The results of students' expert review of direct attack hit revealed that theoretical preparedness of the EG students increased by 14,5 % versus 6 % in the CG; the level of direct attack hit technique increased by 65 % in the EG and only by 6,5 % in the CG; the control standard indicator had an increase of 55 % in the EG compared to 15 % in the CG. Conclusions. According to the results of the expert review of the direct attack hit performance before and after the experiment, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of the author's program of the pupils` coordination abilities development for improving their mastery of the direct attacking hit.
