THERAPEUTIC PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR POSTPARTUM RECOVERY OF WOMEN'S BODY

The research purpose is to study the possibilities of restoring the women’s body after childbirth through the use of means and methods of therapeutic physical culture.

Methods and organization of the research: analysis and generalization of scientific publications, the questionnaire, pedagogical observation, experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. 56 women in labor from the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) who gave birth in 2021 took part in the experiment. Age of female participants: 18-24 years – 36.4%, 25-29 years – 47.3%, 30-35 years – 12.7%, 36 and older – 3.6%. The study was conducted from December 2021 to November 2022. Preliminary testing of various exercises, that could accelerate and favorably affect the rehabilitation of women in the postpartum period, was carried out. The stages of training and their content were selected taking into account the physical and psycho-emotional state of the participants of the experiment.

Results and their discussion. The specific goals of the training sessions have been determined. The recovery periods, their features and the effects of physical exercise on the body of women were studied. The exercises were selected according to the ease of implementation, the safety conditions for the body and the load on the weakened areas of the body. The developed complex of special physical exercises was proposed for introduction into the content of the experimental group's classes in the postpartum period of women's body recovery, taking into account their physical and mental state.

Conclusion. It has been experimentally proved that the means and methods of therapeutic physical culture in the postpartum period have a positive effect on the process of restoring the body of women not only in physical, but also in mental aspect. Physical therapy exercises tone the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, contribute to the contraction of the uterus and hyperstretched abdominal muscles, improve the function of the intestines and bladder, as well as the functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
