THE USE OF GOALBALL ELEMENTS IN THE CORRECTION OF PHYSICAL FITNESS AND PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES

The purpose: Development and testing of the program for correction of physical fitness and psychomotor de- velopment of children of secondary school age with intellectual disabilities based on the goalball techniques, in the framework of the educational experiment.

Objectives of the study. The first objective is to identify the features of physical fitness and psychomotor de- velopment of schoolchildren with intellectual disabilities. The second objective is to develop a program for correction of physical fitness of children of secondary school age with intellectual disabilities and to test it in the framework of the educational experiment. The third objective is to assess the effectiveness of the program for correction of physical fitness and psychomotor development in adaptive physical education for children of secondary school age with intellectual disabilities.

Methods and organization of the research. The study involved 64 schoolchildren studying in schools for chil- dren with disabilities. The study included educational testing of physical and psychomotor qualities of school- children with intellectual disabilities and comparison of the results relative to the age norms.

Results. The research revealed deviations from the age norms of children with intellectual disabilities in terms of the development of flexibility, speed, coordination, speed-power abilities and psychomotor qualities. We designed a program for correction of physical fitness and psychomotor development of children of secondary school age, based on the goalball techniques. The pilot program proved effective.
