A methodological approach to differentiating means of development of coordination abilities in ski-racers

Aim. The article deals with substantiating a methodological approach to differentiating means of development of coordination abilities in ski-racers with different typological properties of the nervous system. Material and methods. The study was conducted in June 2017 - May 2018 in Specialized youth sports school of the Olympic Reserve No 3 (Kirov). First-year ski-racers aged 10-11 years participated in the study (n = 60, 30 each group). The following methods were used: theoretical analysis and literature summary, psychological, pedagogical and functional testing, correlation analysis by M.A. Kharchenko. Results. The differences were revealed in the relationship between coordination abilities and performance of functional systems and mental processes. The results of the correlation analysis allowed to classify the coordination abilities of ski-racers depending on the properties of their nervous system into basic and auxiliary coordination abilities, which are different in athletes with a “strong” and “weak” nervous system in terms of excitation. Conclusion. The results obtained allow to use correlation analysis as a methodological approach to differentiating means of development of coordination abilities in ski-racers with different typological properties of the nervous system.
