Introduction. Regular motor activity during feasible sports training stimulates all internal organs [1]. This effect is especially important for people suffering from somatic pathology [2]. In this regard, it is necessary to clarify the impact of regular tennis training on the overall functional status of young people with hearing loss.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of motor abilities of young men with hearing loss who started regular tennis training.
Methodology and organization of the study. 28 young men (18-19 years old) with confirmed hearing loss of I-II degree were examined. They were divided into two groups. The main group included 14 young men who started regular tennis training. The control group consisted of 14 young men who maintained their usual lifestyle with a low level of muscle loads. The study was conducted initially and after six months of observation with functional testing of the examined and processing of the results obtained by the Student criterion (t).
The results of the study and their discussion. Initially, the examined had a low level of physical fitness, endurance, speed-strength and coordination capabilities. At the end of the observation, no significant dynamics of the recorded parameters were found in the control group. The boys of the main group achieved a significant increase in endurance, strength, speed-strength and coordination capabilities after six months of tennis training. Also, by the end of the observation, the boys of the main group showed a decrease in general fatigue and an increase in locomotor stability under physical exertion.
Conclusion. As a result of regular tennis training for six months, young men with hearing loss significantly increased their level of physical development. The achieved results give reason to consider tennis training in young men with hearing loss a very preferable option for physical development.
