| description | Background and Study Aim. Soccer activities are a good means of physical activity for high school students. However, the living conditions of teenagers in war zones necessitate organizing education in an online format. Overall, this affects the physical fitness of adolescents. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of soccer exercises on the physical fitness indicators of high school students under the conditions of online learning.
Material and Methods. The study involved 21 high school students (15-16 years old, n=16 boys; n=5 girls). To assess physical fitness indicators, standardized tests were used, including the Bondarevsky test and the Yarotsky test.
Results. A significant improvement in coordination abilities was observed in boys: according to the Bondarevsky test (t=2.16, p<0.05) and the Yarotsky test (t=2.18, p<0.05). There were also statistically significant changes in the level of endurance: in the "running around the perimeter of a 15 x 15 m square" test (t=2.08, p<0.05) and when performing the "Burpee" test (t=2.45, p<0.01). The abilities of girls almost did not change, which may be related to their low interest in football.
Conclusions. The introduction of specific football exercises in remote physical education lessons can contribute to the improvement of the physical fitness of high school students, especially boys. Results confirm and expand existing knowledge about the positive impact of participation in football activities on the physical and social well-being of students. It emphasizes the importance of implementing sports programs in the educational process, especially in situations where traditional forms of physical education are limited. |
