Dynamics of physical fitness in special medical group students after the use of sports board games

Aim. The purpose of the research was to study the effect of a method that includes sports board games on the physical development of students in special medical groups. Materials and methods. A unified, comprehensive method was developed and introduced into training to improve physical qualities in students. The study involved 406 students (17-20 years old). The experiment consisted of three stages. At each stage, physical qualities were measured with the following tests: standing long jump; vertical ball throw, seated forward bend, and ruler drop test. The descriptive statistics for each stage of the experiment were provided by the arithmetic mean, the Student’s t-test, and percentage growth. Results. The data obtained during the experiment show the effectiveness of the method for male and female 1 or 2-year students. In the experimental group, percentage growth was 2 times higher on average for all parameters. Conclusion. The conducted research demonstrated that this technique was suitable for students with various health conditions and improved the development of their physical qualities.
