Using a reverse run during athlets workouts and in physical rehabilitation

Abstract

The proposed article is devoted to the reverse run as a training mean for athletes and as a mean of physical rehabilitation, based on the early experience of foreign colleagues. Recent time, in medicine, sports medicine, physical rehabilitation and sports, more widely walking and running backwards is being used. The purpose of the article was to investigate the use of reverse run during sports workout of athletes. The task was to determine the level of coordination and physical fitness of athletes, using the technique of reverse running. Research methods: analysis of literary sources for English-language bibliographic databases PubMed, Web of Science and Elsevier and pedagogical experiment. Conclusions. Reverse run really eliminates the injury of the joints, has a positive effect on the posture. Students of the experimental group showed numerical and qualitative differences in indicators when conducting a pedagogical experiment. According to the reviews of students of both studied groups, the reverse run diversified monotonous training classes, opening new perspectives, and allowed the body in a new way. This method of moving helps to improve the balance and increase coordination. Reverse running helps compensate for a frequent disadvantage that occurs between the groups of the front and back of the thigh, popliteal bonds and calm muscles. Was also noticed that during workouts energy consumption due to the activation of muscle groups increases, which usually do not participate in a conventional run, which led to an increase in energy consumption, which was reflected in the results of a decrease in the body weight of the experimental group.
