The study identified areas for improvement of choreographic training in sports aerobics. The aim is to increase the effectiveness of choreographic training in sports aerobics at the stage of specialized basic training. The theoretical analysis and generalization of data of scientific, methodical and special literature, documentary materials, pedagogical observations, surveys have been used in the study. The analysis of the obtained data made it possible to outline areas for improving the content of choreographic training at the stage of specialized basic training in sports aerobics: creating the latest methods of choreographic training, improving regulations, taking into account the specifics and trends of sports aerobics in choreographic training software; development of a control system for choreographic readiness; improvement of means of education of expressiveness, improvement of compositions of competitive programs. The content of choreographic training of athletes at the stage of specialized basic training in sports aerobics, which selected tools and methods to improve the choreographic training of athletes aged 15-17 years in accordance with modern requirements of the sport has been improved. The optimal amount of load has been set; means of education of expressiveness and a technique of perfection of competitive compositions have been introduced, means and methods of control of choreographic readiness of sportsmen have been developed.

The paper presents the results of studying the peculiarities of work styles (authoritarian, democratic, liberal) and the behavior of coaches in technical and aesthetic sports and choreographers. The purpose of the work was to analyze and compare the individual styles of coaches’ work in technical and aesthetic sports and teachers of dance groups and choreographic schools. A group of theoretical and empirical methods were used in the study. The survey involved: 14 choreographers from eight dance groups, 9 teachers from public and three private choreographic schools and 18 coaches working with representatives of artistic, sports and aesthetic gymnastics, sports acrobatics and aerobics as well as 118 students engaged in choreography and sports. The results of the survey were supported by pedagogical observation data. The study made it possible to identify priority work styles of coaches in technical and aesthetic sports and teachers-choreographers which depend on many factors, including the type of activity, age characteristics of students, training and training stage, etc. It was found that the authority of the coach and teacher is a determining condition for his/her success, the effectiveness of the impact on students as well as associated with the individual style of his/her work. The obtained results can be used in the practice of coaches in technical and aesthetic sports as well as teachers of dance groups and choreographic schools for effective interaction in the system «teacher, coach – student».

The article presents the results of studying the peculiarities of the development of various strength abilities of dancers who are the representatives of folk-stage dance. The purpose of the work is to develop a program for the development of strength abilities using the choreography in folk dancers. A group of theoretical and empirical methods was used in the study. The pedagogical observations at training sessions with 12-15 year-old dancers and surveys of teachers and coaches on the peculiarities of the development of strength abilities were conducted; testing of indicators of different strength abilities in 12-15 year-old adolescents engaged in folk-stage dance in the Honored Dance Ensemble of Ukraine «Youth» and in the school of folk dance, folk dance ensemble «Serpanok» (Lviv) was also held. This made it possible to develop a program for the development of strength abilities, taking into account their varieties, which are necessary in folk-stage dances. The main means of developing strength abilities in the program were folk-stage dance exercises, the selection of which took into account their predominant influence on the development of a particular strength ability, the possibility of local, regional or general impact on the musculoskeletal system and the need for accurate dosing. The positive influence of the developed program on the development of various strength abilities of dancers is revealed. The obtained results can be used in the practice of teachers of choreographic groups of folk-stage dance.

The research goal is to model a system of choreographic training in techno-aesthetic kinds of sport. Materials and methods: systematization of scientific sources on the problem under study; method of pedagogical modeling. Results: In this paper, the scientific and methodological justification of the choreographic training system as a purposeful controlled process proceeds from the theory of general training of athletes. It ensures the unity of the stages and unites them into a continuous pedagogical process, makes it possible to consider choreographic training as an integral system with the prediction of choreographic preparedness control in evaluating the indicators of the component criteria; selection of choreographic instruments taking into account the levels of formation of criteria for choreographic preparedness; content and variational methodological support for choreographic training at various stages of multi-year training. Conclusions: a modelled system of choreographic training, which can simultaneously be considered as a separate independent element, and as a component of the general system of training of athletes.

The objective of the study-to determine relevant areas of choreographic training in sport. Research methodsdesk review and synthesis of scientific information, literature study, induction and deduction and a systematic approach. Research resultsan applied problem was identified, that is related to the existence of choreography training,considered to be a relatively distinct training aspect in the system of the long-standing athletes' improvement and the absence of its justification in science and methodologies. Findings. The methods of choreography training's improvement are determined: creation of adequate approaches which provide the desirable variability of certain aspects of the training processdepending on the athlete's state of condition, activities area andthe stage of the training macrocycle; an examination of the regulations; specific nature, development of a kind of sport and rules of the competition are taken into account; improvement of the expressiveness. Key words: choreography training, technical-aesthetic sports, methods of improvement and the system of the athletes' training. Валентина Тодорова.
