Application of static and dynamic experimental exercises during PE lessons with students from special medical groups

Aim. The aim of this study is to improve the respiratory system and physical fitness in students from special medical groups (SMG) by means of static and dynamic experimental exercises introduced into PE lessons. Materials and methods. The pedagogical experiment was conducted from October 2017 to January 2018 on the premises of the Kirov State University, Kirov. This experiment involved students aged 18-21 belonging to a special medical group (cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, excess weight). During the study we used the following methods: 1. theoretical analysis and literature review; 2. pedagogical testing; 3. summative and formative pedagogical experiments; 4. methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The analysis of mean group values in the control (CG) and experimental (EG) groups throughout the experiment revealed that there are significant positive changes in the functional state of the respiratory system in students from the experimental group in comparison with the control group (p
