Features of preparing adult men for spearfishing

Statement of the problem. The article examines the content of physical education research on preparation of male adults for spearfishing. The problem is that the lack of functional and physical fitness of underwater hunters can lead to negative consequences. At the moment, training of spearfishing lovers is carried out spontaneously, within the framework of short-term courses, without taking into account the age characteristics and physical fitness of those involved. One of the ways to solve the problem is to develop scientifically based methodological support and introduce it into the practice of training underwater hunters. The purpose of the article is to present the content of a physical education study that reveals the features of preparing adults for spearfishing. Methodology (materials and methods). The research methodology consists of works that disclose the arrangements and procedure for conducting physical education research, the analysis of scientific and methodological materials on the formation of physical education in different groups and categories of the population, training methods in underwater sports. In the process of performing scientific work, a survey, a pedagogical experiment, pedagogical observation, and statistical methods for processing quantitative data were used. Research results. As a result of the study, software and methodological support for preparing male adults for spearfishing was developed, and the high effectiveness of practical exercises using scientifically based and experimentally tested software and methodological support was proven.
