Features of teaching judo techniques to blind and visually impaired athletes 10-12 years old based on the use of spatial landmarks

Relevance. Currently, the process of teaching the motor actions of blind and visually impaired athletes is carried out taking into account specific patterns, principles, means and methods of sports training. However, this process has certain features and ways of their implementation in training and competitive activities. Such features that facilitate the training of motor actions of blind and visually impaired athletes include the use of various landmarks and the presence of of the appropriate methodology. Hence it seems obvious that the identification of the features of the methodology for teaching the techniques of blind and visually impaired judoka, which allows the use of various landmarks, requires further research. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the features of the methodology for teaching the technical actions of blind and visually impaired judoka 10-12 years old using spatial landmarks. Research methods. In the process of research, methods were used: literature analysis, video analysis of competitive fights, pedagogical experiment and mathematical statistics. Results of the study. In order to identify the features of the methodology for teaching judo techniques to blind and visually impaired athletes 10-12 years old using various guidelines and their implementation in the training process, a pedagogical experiment was organized and conducted. The technical techniques allocated in terms of the frequency of application, quality and effectiveness of implementation in a competitive duel indicate the effectiveness of the experimental methodology for teaching judo techniques to blind and visually impaired athletes. Conclusion. Teaching judo techniques to blind and visually impaired athletes 10-12 years old using spatial landmarks is a multi-level process of forming technical techniques, within the framework of which integrative processes are developed and improved, the ability to holistically perceive the surrounding space during the fight, analyze it using both specific, individual and generalized landmarks.
