Features of physical development, physical fitness and psychomotor functions of students engaged at football classes
The purpose of the study was to reveal the features of physical development, physical fitness and psychomotor functions among the football players of student teams of various playing roles. Methods and organization of the study. To determine the indicators of physical development (body length and weight, chest girth, arm and leg length, VC, carpal dynamometry), standard methods were used. Physical fitness was assessed according to the following tests: jump up from a place, long jump from a place, five-time long jump from a place, 15 m run from a high start, 15 m run from a run, 30 m run from a high start, run 7 x 50 m and a 12-minute run. To assess the psychomotor reactions of football players of student teams, the following indicators were considered: the time of visual-motor reaction, its latent and motor components, the speed of reaction to a moving object, the accuracy of reaction to a moving object. The study was conducted in the period September-November 2021 on the basis of student football teams in Moscow. The study involved 126 university students who took part in city football competitions. Goalkeepers of football teams had an advantage in most indicators of physical development (body length and weight, chest girth, arm and leg length, carpal dynamometry) and psychomotor characteristics. In jumping exercises, the advantage of goalkeepers was noted, high-speed motor actions - forwards, and in endurance running - midfielders. Considering the logical information content, the reliability of intergroup differences in average indicators, it is possible to single out the most significant of them by indicators of physical development, physical fitness and psychomotor characteristics, which can later be used as markers for assessing certain aspects of the readiness of players of student football teams of various roles.
