Introduction. It is a great means of human education and socialization [1]. One of its types is electric wheelchair football, which becomes a In Russia, it is very popular among people with musculoskeletal disorders [2]. However, electric wheelchair football in Russia still faces a number of problems that need to be clarified for its further development.
The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of development in Russian football on electric wheelchairs.
Methodology and organization of the study. A survey was conducted of 15 football players on electric carriages in Moscow (the Scorpions football team and the Steel Badgers football team) to identify the range of problems they face in the course of their sports activities. The respondents determined the degree (score) of their importance on a 10‑point scale. The data were statistically processed using the method of averages using a standard statistical software package.
The results of the study and their discussion. A whole group of problems turned out to be relevant (7-8 points). Their average score (x) ranged from ±7.17 0.553 points (lack of sufficient information about football on electric bicycles in the media) to 8.88±0.635 points (high cost of football electric bicycles). The following problems turned out to be absolutely relevant (9-10 points): insufficient number of football competitions on electric carriages at the city and regional levels (9.00±0.5587 points); lack of targeted funding for the development of football on electric carriages (9.47±0.529 points); the lack of specially developed training methods for this category of athletes, taking into account their pathology (9.23± 0.539 points) and the insufficient number of specially trained football coaches on electric wheelchairs (9.11±0.158 points). Apparently, by eliminating these problems, it will be possible to widely develop this sport in the country.
Conclusions. In modern Russia, electric wheelchair football is faced with a lack of targeted funding, poor development of training methods for such athletes, a shortage of experienced coaches, and an insufficient number of competitions in this type of football. Development in Russia's electric wheelchair football can receive a powerful boost to development after these problems are eliminated.
