The Effect of Physical Exercises and Ball Games on the Static Balance of Students with Musculoskeletal Disorders

Sport Mont 2021, 19(3), 83-88 | DOI: 10.26773/smj.211020

Abstract

This research aims to detect the effect of using exercises and ball games in physical education on the stat- ic balance of students with musculoskeletal disorders. The research involved 40 secondary school students aged 16-19, who were divided into two groups. Students have disabilities with mild and average forms of illness. The level of static balance was determined by the indicators of a modified Romberg test, which was carried out at the beginning and the end of the training lesson. The research was carried out for 18 months. It was established that the indicators of students of two groups, both at the beginning and at the end of the physical education lesson, improved. At the beginning of the lesson, a reliable change is traced only in the group of students with congenital defects of the musculoskeletal system (p<0.05); at the end of the lesson, balance indicators significantly improved in both groups (p<0.05). It was found that the developed system of exercises and ball games in which it was necessary to keep a set initial position, not due to different actions with the ball, is an effective means of improving balance. Exercising and playing with the ball reliably (at the level of significance α=0.05) increases the chance of students to improve static balance indicators, which can improve the quality of motor actions in everyday life. The inclusion of specially selected exercises and ball games in physical education classes for students with musculoskeletal defects related to the success of meeting the requirements of Romberg’s test is statistically confirmed.
