Substantiation and working out of recreation health related technology on the basis of health related hiking and orienteering for junior school age children

Abstract

Purpose: to study role of health related hiking and orienteering in improvement of children's physical conditions. Material: 163 children of 7 -10 years old age participated in the research (82 boys and 81 girls). Tests for assessment of physical condition, physical health, adaptation reserve potentials and motor functioning of junior schoolchildren were used. Results: It was found that 46,01% of pupils can be considered healthy. Accordingly more than half (53,99%) have not infectious diseases. Among them nosologies of musculoskeletal apparatus prevail. In academic day with physical culture lesson average and high levels of motor functioning prevail (61,36%). Recreation health related technology on the basis of health related hiking and orienteering has been theoretically substantiated and worked out. Its structural components and content have been described. Realization of recreation health related technology is envisaged to be in three stages. Most of classes shall be in the open air. Conclusions: low level of adaptation reserve potentials and physical health of children have been determined that points at demand in health related measures in junior schoolchildren's physical education.

“…Demand in activation of work in this direction is noted also by known foreign and domestic scientists (Anderson, 2012;Goncharova, & Butenko, 2015;Mulyk, & Grynova, 2015). The authors say that it is necessary: to study influence of forests on children's health [Soroka, Mazurek-Kusiak, Wojciechowska-Solis, & Hawlena, 2016], implementation of educational activity among children in rest camps [Manuel, Miguel, Serra, & Ribeiro, 2015], formation of positive skills in healthy life style through tourism practicing [Scholz, 2015], study of active hiking measures' influence on personality's qualities of youth [Makeeva, Pushkina, & Polyakov, 2015], pedagogic approaches to formation of responsible attitude towards environment [Toro, Luisa, Alejandro, Rozo, & Suescun, 2015;Ilnytska et al, 2016], implementation of formal models and theoretical conceptions in tourism and education through culture of communication [Alzahrani, Loke, & Lu, 2014;Kozina, 2015].…”

“…Orienteering implies planned movement across an unknown or known terrain with the basic goal of orientating oneself and finding, as quickly as possible and with the aid of a map and compass, the previously assigned control points drawn on the map (Gobec, I., & Gobec, D., 2003;Trkulja Petković, Podvalej, & Širić, 2009).…”

“…Little attention has been dedicated to scientific research investigating orienteering in the teaching process and school in general. Most papers dealing with orienteering emphasize its influence on the physical and mental health of students (Chun-xia, 2005;Goncharova & Butenko, 2015;Galan, Zoriy, Briskin, & Pityn, 2016;Mayorkina, 2015;Zhang, Jan, Zhao, & Huang, 2001). The sociological aspect, i.e.…”
