Introduction. The use of adaptive physical culture and adaptive sports is an effective, and in some cases the only method of physical rehabilitation and social adaptation of adolescents with cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) [2]. Due to the severity of secondary deviations that prevent the formation of basic human locomotion, adolescents with cerebral palsy need systematic adaptive physical education [1]. As a result of specific physical activity during sledge hockey classes, athletes develop functional features in their bodies that must be taken into account when compiling training programs.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional characteristics of adolescents with cerebral palsy who are engaged in sledge hockey at the initial stage of sports training.
Methodology and organization of the research. The scientific work was carried out on the basis of the Spartak Academy complex (Moscow) (10 sledge hockey players 13-17 years old, experimental group) and on the basis of the school (10 bocci players 13-17 years old with cerebral palsy, control group). The experimental group studied in the sledge hockey section, the control group in the bocce section. Classes were held three times a week for 60 minutes for 9 months. To assess the level of functional condition of the respondents, chest excursion, lung capacity were measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated, the work of the nervous system was evaluated using an orthostatic test, and the endurance coefficient was determined using the Kvass formula.
The results of the study and their discussion. When comparing the results of the functional parameters of the body before and after the experiment, statistically significant changes (p<0.05) in the tests were revealed in the experimental group: chest excursion, lung vital capacity, orthostatic test. In the athletes of the control group, only the indicators of the orthostatic test significantly changed.
Conclusions. The results obtained are due to the expansion of the block of general physical training and the inclusion of corrective exercises in the training program. The absence of statistically significant changes in the calculation of BMI and endurance coefficient may be due to the severity of the underlying pathology and the nature of secondary deviations. Therefore, when compiling sledge hockey training programs for adolescents with cerebral palsy, it is necessary to take into account the features of the underlying pathology and secondary abnormalities that affect the functional state of athletes.
