Spatial organization of the body of young athletes in the discursive field of scientific knowledge: analytical review of scientific information sources

Abstract

Disorders in the spatial organization of the young athletes body, in a wide spectrum of which changes in the biomechanical characteristics of the segments of the musculoskeletal system are quantitatively and qualitatively outlined, are often accompanied by functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system that are dangerous for health, a decrease in muscle strength and tone, and a loss of the ability to move normally. The aim of the research was to study and systematize scientific researches aimed at determining the state of spatial organization of the body of young athletes. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources. Results. According to the scientific community, the intensification of the educational and training process, aimed at achieving high sports results, which is characteristic of modern children's and youth sports, leads to an increase in the load on the child's body and can cause metabolic, morpho-functional disorders, prenozological conditions and diseases of young athletes. Analysis of special scientific and methodological literature, domestic practical experience, indicates the presence of a large mass of theoretical and empirical knowledge about the health of athletes. It should be noted that a number of specialists consider the health of athletes as a professionally significant value, which is the basis of their reliability in the sports competitions activity and prospects at the stages of the process of long-term training. A systematic analysis of special scientific and methodological literature, united by the problem of athletes health protection during the period of the first stage of long-term training, indicates the unity of opinion of specialists regarding such issues as an increase in the number of negative tendencies in the state of somatic health of young athletes, which are due to the dissonance between the functional reserves of the organism developing and the factors of training activity; an increase in the prevalence of pathological disorders in the activity of the leading somatic systems of the organism. It was determined that close attention is paid to the problem of disorders of the spatial organization of the body of young athletes in sports practice. Conclusions. The theoretical and practical experience of many specialists in the field of physical education and sports confirms the close connection between the state of the spatial organization of the human body and its health, in particular, the fact that disorders of the values of the physiological curvatures of the spine, transverse and longitudinal arches of the foot are markers of connective tissue dysplasia, as significant causes of overloading of various parts of the musculoskeletal system of athletes, and therefore – determinants of the occurrence of injuries, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and internal organs.
