STRENGTH ENDURANCE TRAINING IN 2nd-YEAR FEMALE STUDENTS DURING ELECTIVE COURSES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT

Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to identify parameters for the development of strength endurance during elective courses in physical education and sport among 2nd-year female students of the Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology (Kazan Federal University). Materials and methods. The study took place at Bustan sports center (Kazan, Russia) in the 2019/2020 academic year as part of PE elective courses. The control group (n = 40) included female students involved in PE in accordance with the standard university program aimed at the development of general physical fitness. The experimental group (n = 40) included female students involved in PE in accordance with the special exercise program developed by the authors. The majority of PE university classes were based on repeated body weight exercises. Strength endurance levels were measured during static and dynamic tests. Results. At the end of the study, a positive dynamics of static exercise performance was found in all study groups. In the control group, the dynamics of strength endurance levels ranged from 6 to 29%; in the experimental group, the same parameter ranged from 28 to 55%. Conclusion. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method for the development of strength endurance in 2nd-year female students of the Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology (Kazan Federal University).
