DYNAMIC STRETCHING IN THE PROCESS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

Effective ways of doing physical activity for students of higher educational institutions are playing sports, which have specific requirements for the development of certain physical qualities. One of these is dynamic stretching – a set of exercises that allows you to develop muscles and joints in the full range. This research is about testing the effectiveness of the use of dynamic stretching to improve flexibility for students who play volleyball in 2–3 courses. Data collection was carried out in physical education classes (volleyball section) in the main group of the National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute". The results of the study revealed that the proposed method of developing flexibility and mobility of joints for students who play volleyball is effective and safe. It was found that dynamic stretching avoids muscle strain during sports, makes the muscles stronger and the body flexible. Since with dynamic muscle stretching, the intensity and speed of movement increases gradually, the risk of injury is minimal. Also, stretching benefits were found to reduce muscle tension, improve blood circulation, correct posture, and increase endurance. After the start of the dynamic stretching, the students experienced improvements in their overall training results. The dynamic stretching can be recommended for implementation in the work program in volleyball, as well as for independent workouts of students. Dynamic stretching is recommended to be completed as a warm-up before exercising. Also, dynamics can be performed as a full-fledged workout with a previous warm-up, since many dynamic exercises also carry a power load on the body and muscles, strengthening them.
