Background. Presently the academic professional education system gives a high priority to the new training models for the physical education and sports (PES) sector applicable at modern pedagogical educational establishments – particularly to the modern interactive education models geared to advance the students’ learning and cognitive activity. Efficiency of the interactive education models applied in the education specialist training system [1, 2 et al.] on the whole and the PES sector in particular [3-6 etc.] has been subject to many studies. The student’s cognitive activity is largely driven by the natural need for new knowledge; desire to apply theoretical knowledge in practice; determination in practical sessions; and creativity in the self-reliant practical work. One of the measures of the student’s progress and activity is the intellectual and emotional response in the educational process. Benefits of an interactive educational model are generally measurable by the professional competency of the trainees.

The modern sport science offers a wide variety of technologies for progress in team sports – for instance, ball-mounted sensors indicating ball positions via Bluetooth, with the relevant software tools making it possible to track practices with the ball on a smart phone or tablet. It should be noted, however, that many of such technologies are still too expensive for mass application.

Furthermore, many online resources provide video lessons to help learn some game elements, practical skills and techniques, with the modern training systems in a variety of sports increasingly applying such online tools. For example, V.A. Solodyannikov in his study report “Professional education specialist competency building technology for artistic gymnastics” analyzes the most efficient ways to apply video captures in a gymnastics training service. Video replays are highly beneficial for every movement and movement sequence analysis with corrections of errors. The frame-by-frame replays and analyses demonstrate the movement sequence in every element to facilitate the training process, with comparisons of the sample execution versus own highlighting the errors.

We selected futsal for our educational experiment for the reason that it is one of the most popular and accessible team sports in the country. This sport is highly beneficial for health, physical development, bodily functionality improvement and other important missions. Since the school age is commonly known to be the most beneficial life period for progress in many physical qualities including movement coordination and speed, futsal is one of the sports highly recommended for these qualities advancement purposes [7]. A physical education specialist must be competent and skillful in the class/ off-class futsal training process design and management basics to be able to make and effectively train school futsal teams. With this purpose, we offered and piloted an elective School Futsal course under the valid Physical Education discipline.

Objective of the study was to pilot and test benefits of a video replay system application in the School Futsal training course.

Methods and structure of the study. The School Futsal educational program was piloted by the educational experiment in February to June 2017. Fourth-year students of the Physical Education Department of Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute named after M.E. Evseviev majoring in Physical Education under 44.03.01 Pedagogical Education discipline were sampled for the program piloting experiment.

At the preparatory stage, we developed the frame elective School Futsal program taking 48 hours including 24 hours of self-reliant trainings; analyzed and selected futsal lessons available online; and designed a practical training system with a progress rating toolkit.

The sample for the School Futsal program was split up into an Experimental Group (EG) and Reference Group (RG), with the RG training system compliant to the traditional curriculum, and the EG trainings designed to widely apply the video replay system in the learning process. The EG video materials and lessons were systematized as required by the School Futsal program format: see Table 1 hereunder. Every session included a video analyzing part followed by practical indoor trainings designed to perform and master the demonstrated techniques and elements.

The final tests included the following two practical tasks: (1) Draft a futsal team training system customized to specific age group and skill level (with every trainee offered a separate age- and skill-specific option); and (2) Shoot a futsal training video-lesson on the topic proposed by the instructor to every trainee. The tests implied every trainee defending his draft video-lesson.

The educational experiment was finalized by the EG and RG professional skills tested in practice at CYSS #1 in Saransk, with every student required to (1) compose a futsal team from the school children; (2) run a training cycle; and (3) test the team progress by a test match with another school team.

Study findings and discussion. The EG was tested with a higher progress in the professional competences than the RG as verified by the following study data: the EG were successful in making the video-lessons geared to master some technical elements/ skills, in contrast to traditional practical demonstration of futsal elements; the EG showed being highly competent in the futsal team composition governed by the modern selection principles; the EG widely applied video replays in the training service design to speed up the training process for success in the test match; and the EG-trained team won the test match with the RG-trained team.

Conclusion. The study data and analyses showed benefits of the video replay system application, particularly for the beginner trainings with analyses of the errors made. The proposed training model was tested beneficial as it helped improve the trainees’ determination, futsal techniques and advance their individual coaching skills.

The pilot School Futsal educational program was tested on the pedagogical university students to help build up their key professional competences for physical education service including the self-reliant futsal training system design and management based on the knowledge of the modern sport training system basics. Fourth-year students of the Physical Education Department of Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute named after M.E. Evseviev majoring in Physical Education under 44.03.01 Pedagogical Education discipline were sampled for the program piloting experiment. The study data and analyses showed benefits of the video replay system application, particularly for beginner trainings with analyses of errors made. The proposed training model was tested to improve the trainees’ determination, their futsal techniques and advance their individual coaching skills.
