PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG FUTSAL PLAYERS AT THE STAGE OF PRELIMINARY BASIC TRAINING

Abstract

Summary. The aim is to characterize the psychomotor performance of young futsal players at the stage of preliminary basic training.

Materials and methods of the study: theoretical level (analysis and summarize of data from scientific and methodological investigations); testing of upper and lower limbs psychomotorics using the computer hardware-software complex "Psychomotoryka" (SVRT, SART, RC 1-3, RMO, tapping test, cFFF); pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 19 boys of the Rohatyn CYSS IFOR and 21 boys of Sniatyn CYSS (Ivano-Frankivsk region) aged 12–14. The experience of playing football was at least three years. All ethical principles of the study were observed.

Results. One-factor analysis of variance of statistically significant differences in the time of simple reaction to light between the age groups of 12 and 14 years for both hands; choice reaction time; reaction time to light (feet); tapping test of both hand  bones in futsal players aged 12 with the results of futsal players aged 13 and 14, as well as the result of the tapping test of both feet in 12 and 14 years. Statistically significant differences in the values of reaction indicators when using light and audio signals were established, which indicates a greater relationship between motor skills and the visual analyser. According to a larger number of psychomotor tests, the lateral difference in futsal players aged 14 was the smallest, especially for legs sensorimotor reactions, which is due to the specifics of futsal as a sport. It should be noted that with age, the strength of nervous processes in futsal players shows significant positive changes: at 14 years old, 66.67% of futsal players have a strong and stable type of nervous system compared to 28.58% at 12 years old.

Conclusions. Analysis of psychomotor development testing results made it possible to identify the most informative indicators of psychomotor skills of young futsal players at the stage of preliminary basic training, which allows you to further adjust the training process in order to improve their sportsmanship and the effectiveness of competitive activity.
