Experts pay special attention to the movement plasticity in the scientific and methodological literature devoted to the study of coordination motor abilities. Major characteristics of plastic movements are continuity, unity, smoothness, and movement execution without pauses.
In the context of the subject, scientific studies aimed at discovery of the impact of recreational exercises on the ability of an adult to control movements, on their consistency and plasticity are relevant, along with other challenging issues. The research outcomes have practical significance for the effective organization of the process of physical education for adults.
Research objective: to study various manifestations of movement plasticity and accuracy in adult and elderly women practicing recreational exercises.
Organization and methods: the study and analysis of literary sources, dynamic tremometry, kinematometry, motor tests, mathematical statistics.
The study involved 30 women aged 55-75 years who practice physical exercises regularly in the health team at the State Institute of Physical Culture and Sports of Armenia.
Results and discussion. The analysis of indicators of movement plasticity in women of two age groups revealed that the most expressive and smooth movements occur during the «wave» test. During the test, women were keeping their fingers interlocked in front of the chest. The total number of points was 3.43 and 2.94 points. The research revealed relatively low plasticity indicators during execution of more complex motion activities requiring difficult coordination and movement control.
Exploration of the peculiarities of relationships showed a clear pattern of the greatest number and magnitude ratios correlations between accuracy data of kinematometry for left and right wrists with two kinds of wave movements.
Conclusion. The level of movement plasticity detected in women aged 55-75 years depends to some extent on the ability to control the spatial parameters of movements.
The research results have enabled us to conclude that the ability to perform a variety of movements that characterize their plasticity is evidence of a high level of motor control and a general movement culture.
