Technique of Professionally-Applied Physical Training of Students of Building Specialties by Means of Orienteering

Abstract

The problems of optimization of the educational process of physical culture in a higher educational institution are considered. Attention is paid to the development of professionally applied physical qualities of students in building specialties. The question of professional training with means of orienteering is being raised. The authors proceed from the assumption that the use of means and methods of orienteering in the classroom will lead to an improvement in the indexes of physical qualities, functional training and the working capacity of the civil engineer. It is noted that orienteering, as a sport, has a direct applied transfer of motor and associated skills. It is emphasized that the competences formed at students can find application in labor activity of the building specialist. The conclusion is made that the technique used leads to changes in the morphofunctional and motor components of physical readiness for labor activity. The results of a comparative analysis of the experimental and control groups on the indexes of physical development, functional state and physical qualities peculiar to builders are presented. The authors dwell on the development and approbation of the methodology used directly in the physical training classes for building students. It is proved that orienteering is an applied sport for the building specialties of the university, the means of which lead to the development of the physical qualities of a civil engineer.
