Social integration and comprehensive rehabilitation of people with disabilities with cerebral palsy occupies one of the leading places in physical rehabilitation. In all corners of the globe, medical workers and specialists of therapeutic physical culture constantly use the means of hippotherapy (Equine-assisted therapy) as a rehabilitation of people with cerebral palsy. The authors developed and tested the technique of hippotherapy in the process of development of motor functions and the formation of skills of household self-care in children aged 4-6 with the manifestation of a spastic form of infantile cerebral palsy. Subjects had different degrees of motor disorders; the average assessment of the degree of clinical manifestations prior to the start of the experiment was 2.2 points. The technique includes three stages of conducting exercises with the performance of exercises riding on the horse, aimed at normalizing the pathological muscle tone, the formation of the correct motor stereotype, the stimulation of tactile and proprioceptive sensitivity, the development of motor skills and the reduction of dysarthria, increasing the level of motor functions, which contributes to social rehabilitation of children with this disease. A low degree of social adaptation is due to the age of sick children and the short duration of mastering skills, as well as excessive guardianship by parents.

The research is devoted to the study of peculiarities of perception by adolescents (by both potential weightlifters and / or future parents, who in due time will have to participate in formation of the worldview and sporting interests of their children) of one of the gender denounced kinds of sportswomen's weightlifting.The research methods are as follows: interviewing students in the form of essay and questionnaire survey, qualitative and quantitative content analysis of interview results. 184 Moscow students (67 young men and 117 young women) at the age of 17-19 took part in the interview.On the whole, the attitude of modern adolescents to women's weightlifting can be characterised as negative. At that, young men demonstrate greater rejection of this kind of sports than young women do. Voicing their discontent with women's weightlifting, young men operate predominantly with exclusively gender-related epithets, the considerable part of which is of discriminating nature.In case of young women, 62.9 % of negative responses are of gender-related nature, they include: "unsuitable/unacceptable kind of sports for women", "unwomanly kind of sports", etc. The rest 37.1 % of negative responses of young women characterize women's weightlifting as "dangerous and harmful for health", "complicated", "connected with heavy physical loads", "injury-prone", etc.The obtained findings suggest that the role of gender stereotypes in perception of women's weightlifting by adolescent is extremely large. It manifests itself particularly in young men. However, young women tend to establish frameworks, limiting their own freedom of choice and actions.

The development of coronary atherosclerosis leads to the formation of coronary heart disease, which threatens early death or disability. Such patients need a shunt operation to restore blood flow in the vessels of the heart. After this operation, patients need complex rehabilitation, which has strict stages. To expand the physical activity of patients after coronary bypass grafting, a system of motor activity consisting of 7 steps is used, modified for use in Russian clinical conditions for the rehabilitation of patients after shunting of blood vessels supplying the myocardium. This technique involves the use of seven stages of motor activation of patients, through the use of complexes of medical-physical culture with a gradual strengthening of gymnastic exercises, through the use of training using exercise bikes and dosed walking in open areas, built on the principle of "from simple to more complex." The first two stages of motor activation are applicable to patients immediately after coronary artery bypass grafting at the stationary stage; 3-5 stages of motor activation are physiologically justified for in-patient rehabilitation; the 6-7 steps of motor activation are applicable to patients on outpatient rehabilitation.
