У статті висвітлені особливості системи Пілатес та специфіка її використання і вплив на рівень фізичної підготовленості студентів. У експерименті брали участь 40 студенток віком 1718 років, які навчалися на I курсі природничо-технологічного факультету ДВНЗ «ПХДПУ імені Григорія Сковороди». У студентів експериментальної групи значно покращились показники наступних контрольних випробуваннях: нахил тулуба вперед з положення сидячи; стрибок у довжину з місця; човниковий біг. Ці результати підтверджують в1исновки науковців, стосовно високої ефективності системи Пілатес у фізичному вихованні студентської молоді.
The article highlights the features of the Pilates system and the specifics of its use and the impact on the level of physical fitness of students. The classification of types of pilates is revealed. The purpose of the work is to determine the impact of pilates on the physical fitness of students. Methods of research: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Organization of the study -the experiment was attended by 40 students aged 17-18, who studied at the first course of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology of the "GPDU named after Hryhoriy Skovoroda." All students, on the basis of a comprehensive medical examination, were in the main medical group. At the first stage, the test was conducted in October and included the following control standards: running 1000m, running 30m, jump in length from the place, shuttle running (4x9m.), Raising in the shed for 1 min, flexion-extensions of hands in Stinging lying, squatting on the right / left leg, tilt of the trunk forward from sitting position. According to the test results, the students were divided into two groups, equal in terms of the number of participants and the average score (experimental and control groups). The control group was engaged in the traditional curriculum on physical education at universities of III-IV levels of accreditation. The experimental group was engaged in the traditional program, which was additionally complemented by the means of the Pilates system. The second stage of testing was carried out in April. He was to determine the level of physical fitness of students in the control and experimental groups. The results of the pedagogical experiment make the following conclusions: almost half of the total number of students (48%) undergoing testing have an average level of physical fitness, which corresponds to a satisfactory assessment, above the average (score well) showed 30% of the students. The high level of preparedness (score excellent) does not have any of the studied groups and the level below the average (unsatisfactory score) has 22% of students. In the control group, the t-criterion score is obtained by the formula for calculations, less t boundary. This suggests that no significant changes in the averages have occurred.
