Purpose Performing effective actions requires the basketball player to balance factors such as motor variability, error minimalization and a complex sequence of coordination to determine the best action. Aim of study. The aim of the study was to differentiate the strength of the muscles of the index and middle fingers when performing a basketball shot. Methods Material and method. Study group enrolled 122 male college basketball league students. The study included psychophysiological tests to determine indices of individual and typological characteristics of higher nervous activity, proprioceptive sensitivity tests of the fingers of the leading hand, and field tests to assess participants' shooting skills. The touch-based finger pressure sensing system measured the different levels of pressure exerted by the participants' main index and middle finger during grasping. Results For both the middle and index finger, the highest correlation with shot efficiency was found for a 120 g load g (p < 0,01 for 2PS; 2PS40 suc; FT; 3PSO and 3,5mS). Furthermore, high reproducibility of proprioceptive sensitivity of the index and middle finger of the leading hand was found in basketball players. Conclusions The research indicates that it is possible to organize compensatory behavior between joints on the basis of proprioception, with the last compensatory movements of the kinematic chain being performed by the fingers of the hand. The demonstrated high proprioceptive sensitivity of the index and middle finger of the leading hand in basketball players at a weekly interval may indicate ability to maintain high repeatability of movements controlled by these fingers.

Purpose: efficiency increase development of technical and tactical actions of qualified athletes in mas-wrestling on the basis of developed technique with use of technical tool and rational use of training means. Materials: 40 qualified athletes have taken part in research, specializing in mas-wrestling. Weight category of athletes is up to 70 kg. Sports qualification is I category. Age range of athletes was 18 -20 years. Results: modification of "Pulley row" exercise machine which use allows to develop in parallel physical qualities, technical and tactical actions of athletes in mas-wrestling is carried out. The universality of exercise machine promotes holding educational and training occupations in small gyms and platforms. Differentiated criteria for evaluation of technical and tactical actions formation of athletes with use of modified "Pulley row" exercise machine are developed for qualified athletes in mas-wrestling in weight categories up to 70 kg. The technique of development of technical and tactical actions of qualified athletes in mas-wrestling is developed.

The article raises the problem of using the educational potential of virtual museums. It is noted that virtual museums are a new organizational form of the modern system of informal education. Thanks to the availability and openness of museum funds, it becomes possible to acquaint young people with the artifacts of culture and social life. The exposition fund of the virtual museum of bookmarks created in Germany is analyzed. The thematic field “sport” is chosen as the object of research. Based on content analysis, the frequency of manifestation of this concept is revealed. On the basis of cluster analysis, the belonging of the exhibits to various sections of the virtual museum is established. It is concluded that sport is presented as a subject of three clusters 1) financial savings for sports, 2) advertising lifestyle and sporting goods and 3) world-class sporting events. The assessment of the peculiarities of presentation of the content of bookmarks on the subject of sports creolized texts is given.
