Studying The Efficiency of a Differentiated Instruction in the Development of Physical Qualities of Students of Non-Sports Faculty

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on changes in body mass index indicators when applying the differentiated approach developed by the authors. This approach is based on a comprehensive individualization and considers the individual characteristics, interests, and motivations for engaging in systematic physical education activities among students with different constitutional types, determined by the R.N. Dorokhov algorithm, from non-sporting faculties of a pedagogical university during their education. The results obtained confirmed the effectiveness of using an individually differentiated approach, with exercises organized around circuit training to improve physical qualities in physical education for students at a pedagogical university. As a result of applying the innovative method developed by the authors, which provides a practical and health-oriented focus on improving the physical development and overall physical fitness of participants, the average relative increase in the results of the arithmetic means of all six physical fitness indicators for the control group of retarded-type students in the pedagogical experiment was 5.58%. In the experimental group of the same development type, this indicator was 9.66%. For students of the normal-type development in both the control and experimental groups, these values were 6.33% and 11.15%, respectively. For students of the accelerated-type development, the average relative increase in the results of the arithmetic means of all six physical fitness indicators in the pedagogical experiment was 7.20% for the control group, while in the experimental group, this value was 13.38%. The overall average increase in physical fitness indicators across three different constitutional types of students during the pedagogical experiment for all studied indicators was 6.37% for the control group and 11.40% for the experimental group.
