The Effectiveness of Implementation of Crossfit Tools in the Process of Physical Education of High School Pupils

Abstract

There is justified in the article the importance of the need to improve physical education process for high school students with CrossFit tools.There have occurred positive changes in high school students’ dynamics in the EG in functional indicators and physical preparation in the experiment condition.The optimization of physical education process for high school pupils with CrossFit tools. There were observed the indicators of physical condition of organism, physical preparation and experimentally checked the effectiveness of the program with CrossFit tools implemented into physical education process. There were 63 pupils as participants in the research (boys, 16 years old). Analysis of literature sources, phyiological methods of research, pedagogical researches (control norms passing); pedagogical experiment; mathematical statistics methods. There is presented and scientifically justified program of CrossFit tools implementation into physical education lessons for high scool pupils. The content of progam includes combination of power and aerobic exercises, stretching, and exercises to restore breath and to relax muscles. The elaborated program is implemented into studying program and there was proved its effectiveness. The results of research have shown its positive impact on fucntional indicators and physical preparation of hish school pupils, that is proved by mathematical statistics methods.

Non-Traditional Physical Education Classes Improve High School Students’ Movement Competency and Fitness: A Mixed-Methods Program Evaluation Study

“…Additionally, weight training programs have improved adolescents' self-efficacy (e.g., confidence in their ability to accomplish a task), self-esteem, self-perceptions, and overall confidence [19][20][21], which was reflected in our findings for increased confidence and self-efficacy. Many students in both classes also reported improvements in both physical and mental health, such as weight loss, muscle mass increases, strength increases, and reductions in stress, which were also reflected in our measured data and concurred with previous CrossFit and weight training research [5,8,10,11,13]. However, only one study has previously shown evidence to suggest CrossFit could improve mental health outcomes of adolescents [9].…”

“…Interestingly, while the classes varied in focus, the use of the CrossFit template underlying both resulted in similar improvements for students in each class. These results support previous research findings for the positive impacts of CrossFit [5], including improvements in aerobic capacity [8] and physical fitness [10,11]. Given the consensus on each of these forms of training to improve athletic ability, future research should focus more on the behavioral factors and outcomes due to the limited existing literature.…”

“…Research has also shown CrossFit participation to improve body composition and metabolism while also reducing chronic disease risk factors [6,7]. However, even though CrossFit programs are growing in number within various school districts across the country, only limited research has examined the impacts of CrossFit in a high school setting [8][9][10]. This research has found improvements in aerobic capacity [8], improved self-esteem, perceived body fat and appearance and physical selfconcept among those at risk of poor mental health [9], decreased waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) [11], and improved physical fitness [10,11].…”
