Biological prerequisites of schoolchildren's movement culture

Abstract

The paper is devoted to determining biological (anatomical and physiological) prerequisites for the formation of schoolchildren's movement culture. The motor activity of schoolchildren and their physical performance is a component of the concept of health and is determined by the anatomical and physiological features of the body, its anthropometric indicators, the state of the musculoskeletal system, the state of the cardiorespiratory system, the degree of maturity of the nervous system, and the mental state. Purpose: to substantiate the dependence of pupils' movement culture formation on anatomical and physiological features of pupils' organism. Research methods: theoretical - analysis and generalization of literary sources. It has been determined that motor culture is a component of the general culture of the personality, its mental activity and behavior and is unique as it can reveal the personal potential of the child. Movement culture is formed as a complex of components: motor (physical qualities and coordination abilities); aesthetic (expressiveness, artistry, plasticity, correct posture); personal (temperament, attention, memory). It is scientifically proven that the mental and physical health of schoolchildren depends on the formation of skills for a healthy physically active lifestyle, education of personal physical culture, culture of physical activity, sports culture with the obligatory consideration of age and individual characteristics of schoolchildren; properly organized physical education and sports, taking into account the individual anatomical and physiological characteristics of the child, should have a positive impact on the growing body of schoolchildren, promote harmonization of physical and mental development.
