“…We know that the mobility and power of neural processes related to hereditary characteristics [Wang, Lim, Aplin, Chia, McNeill, & Tan, 2008;Milczarek et al, 2009;Malinauskas, Dumciene, Mamkus, & Venckunas, 2014;Sobko, 2015;Sobko, Ulaeva, & Yakovenko, 2016]. However, as evidenced by a number of studies, under the influence of specific training of these qualities can be varied within a limited range for each person.…”

Abstract:Relevance of the work associated with the need to develop special methods of teaching motor actions in climbing primary school children. The purpose of research -theoretical and experimental methodology to justify the construction of training process of young climbers 6-7 years at the initial stage of preparation. The study involved 42 children 6-7 years of age who are engaged in sports climbing club "Ant"; and the experimental and the control group consisted of twenty-one competitor, out of which 12 boys and 9 girls. The experiment lasted for seven months. Based on the analysis of the literature and the results of their own research methodology integral intellectual and spiritual development of young climbers 6-7 years it has been developed. Results. Formulatedmain provisions teaching motor activities of children 6-7 years: 1 -relying on creative thinking. 2 -broad application of basic movements; 3 -taking into account the ergonomic characteristics of the child; 4 -a holistic method of teaching. For climbing, this means that the child is better to give the job to climb up to a certain point. In the explanation is not necessary to dwell on the details of individual movements. Conclusions. The developed methods of teaching primary school children climbing proved to be effective for the development of motor skills and physical qualities for the development of psycho-physiological features of children.

“…In particular, conscientious behavior likely is important for dedicated athletes or elite athletes. There is some support for this idea-a study found that adult athletes have higher conscientiousness than non-athletes (Malinauskas et al 2014) and more elite athletes have higher levels of conscientiousness than do lowerlevel athletes (Allen et al 2011). The combined evidence is unclear whether conscientiousness and participation in sports are related among adolescents or how this trait and context together predict changes in risky substance use during adolescence.…”

Adolescents are at a significant risk for binge drinking and illicit drug use. One way to protect against these behaviors is through participation in extracurricular activities. However, there is a debate about whether highly conscientious adolescents are more likely to participate in activities, which raises the concern of a confound. To disentangle these relationships, we tested the latent trajectories of substance use and personality across 3 years, with participation in activities and sports as time-varying predictors. We surveyed 687 adolescents (55 % female, 85.4 % Caucasian) in Western Australia schools across 3 years. At Time 1, the students were in Year 10 1 (mean age 15 years). The results showed that participation in activities and conscientiousness are related, but each uniquely predicts slower growth in substance use. Across waves, participation in activities predicted less risky substance use a year later, over and above conscientiousness development. These results suggest that there may be unique benefits of participation in activities that protect against risky substance use.

“…It concerns, in particular, health related boxing. With such approach program material can and shall be worked out in compliance with individual psycho-physiological characteristics of students (Kokova, Kopylov, 2014) who have different motor functioning levels, different workability and adaptation to physical loads (Siegel, 2009;Okada, 2013;Malinauskas, Dumciene, Mamkus, et al, 2014). In the frames of our research physical fitness is regarded as student's ability to KUZMIN V.A., KOPYLOV Yu.A., KUDRYAVTSEV M.D., TOLSTOPYATOV I.A., GALIMOV G.Y.,…”

The purpose of the work: analysis of effectiveness of trainings in sport section by health related program, oriented on formation of professionally important qualities for students with weakened motor fitness. Material and methods: in the research students of main and preparatory health groups participated. We formed experimental group of students with weakened motor fitness (n=47, age 21.14±0.36 years). In sport section trainings, in this group special complex of exercises for attention, static exercises from Hatha yoga and breathing exercises by A.N. Strelnikova's system were applied. Control group included students with higher motor fitness (n=40, age 21.44±0.26 age). Statistical distinctions in age between control and experimental groups were not confident (p>0.05). For determination of weakened motor fitness we conducted six pedagogic tests. Results: we worked out training program, consisting of four parts: exercises for attention, specially selected Hatha yoga static postures, breathing exercises and technical actions from chosen kind of sports. It was found that all indicators (left and right hands' strength, vital capacity of lungs, breathing pause after inhale, heart beats rate in rest, Romberg's test, Kopylov's test) statistically confidently (p<0.05-0.01) improved after pedagogic experiment. It was also found that level of students' motor fitness formation increased (p<0.05-0.01) by tests: long jump from the spot, chin ups on high bar, shuttle run 3 х 10 meters, run during six minutes, forward bents. It was shown that formation of personality's professionally important qualities increased statistically confidently (р<0.05) practically by all tested parameters, with the only exclusion: awareness of significance of own study for modern society. Conclusions: The received data about motor fitness level formation and students' interest to physical exercises' practicing permit to plan physical culture classes. The purpose of such classes is to form personality's professionally important qualities: concentration of attention, interpersonal communication, resistance to stresses of different character, acquiring knowledge and skills in independent practicing of physical culture.
