METHOD OF PLANTOGRAPHY IN ASSESSING FOOT ARCH STATE OF PUPILS UNDER VARIOUS LOAD MODES 

 The article proposes a method for integrated assessment of the state of schoolchildren’s foot arch under different load conditions with different state of the musculoskeletal system. The weakening of ligament and muscular foot apparatus of children with faults in posture under all kinds of loads is noted. According to the carried out examination, the author has noticed a normal foot arch only in 75% of the surveyed pupils in the condition without any loads. The 50% load of one’s own body weight on a foot arch is characterized by mass change of qualitative indicator of a "normal" foot arch into the abnormal state: 85.7% of girls and 75% of boys had the symptoms of the “weak foot”. In 12.5% of the surveyed children with scoliosis the author has marked "flattened" foot arch. The author has also noticed the normal foot arch in 98.6% girls and 35% of boys who had no faults in posture in the condition of load of 50% of body weight. Changing of foot arch into the “pre-flattened” abnormal state is noted in 6.9% of girls and 41% of boys, "flattening" foot arch is observed in 3.5% of girls and 18% of boys; 6% of the surveyed had "flat" foot arch. The subsequent increase of the load mode up to 100% of one’s own body weight on a foot is characterized by static deformation of foot arch of the majority (88%) of the surveyed boys and 45% of girls who have no faults in posture. Under the condition of 100% load mode of one’s own weight of pupils with some faults in posture normal foot arch has not been identified, all the surveyed pupils have subsumed the risk group.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS 

 The article discusses the various views of modern scholars on the problem of professional training of future teachers in higher educational institutions at the present stage. The process of European and global integration of Ukraine causes the need of rapid changes in the political, economic and social life of the country. In this regard, over recent years reforming processes have been taking place in the system of education. The implementation of the Bologna process requires increasing educational and cultural level of future teachers as well as the level of their proficiency. Integration of higher education of Ukraine into the global educational environment requires continuous improvement of the educational process. Rapid social changes that have been taking place in the society of the country are driving the need for greater attention to the formation of such professionally significant qualities of future teachers as proactiveness, adaptability, ability to self-education and selfdevelopment, preservation of their own and students’ health. Thus, the vital problem of modernization of higher education is the search for the most efficient teaching systems organizations at the present stage of changes in political, socio-economic, scientific and technical life of our state. Basing on the analysis of psycho-pedagogical literature the author draws a conclusion that professional training is an integrated process of mastering general pedagogical and special knowledge and skills, aimed at the formation of future teachers’ preparedness to the future educational activity. Modern schools need highly educated, intelligent, creatively oriented teachers who responsibly perform their professional activities, the future of Ukraine depends on their competence, skills, and professionalism. In these terms the systems of higher education face the challenge of improving the training of future teachers.

NEW FITNESS-PROGRAMS FOR INITIAL AND MEDIUM FITNESS LEVELS: T-TAPP SYSTEM AND ZUMBA

 Such courses of modern fitness-programs as Т-Тapp system and dancing fitness – zumba have been considered due to the fact that creating additional conditions stimulates students’ physical activity and motivates them to have an active pastime. Nowadays a number of gyms, clubs, sports centers is increasing, so students have more opportunities to keep fit. The authors of the article have highlighted the key moments which make new fitness technique especially popular with youth. The research included investigation of the so-called “intellectual fitness” programs and their positive influence on the state of health. One of such programs is T-Tapp system which helps keep not only the body but also the mind fit. This training system has been designed to engage both hemispheres of a human’s brain in cognitive work, which is important for maintaining a healthy functioning of the brain. One more healthy effect of the system includes a useful set of exercises both for younger people who have symptoms of fatigue, sleepiness and for the elderly to slow the loss of memory. Zumba involves a specific set of exercises worked out for different muscle groups. Such exercises should be done for many times under different rhythms with a qualitative load on the muscles, which trains the cardiovascular and respiratory system thereby increasing the overall level of stamina. Having analyzed the effective use of the T-Tapp system and zumba, as a kind of dancing aerobics, at Physical Education lessons in higher educational institutions, the authors concluded that modern recreational technologies are of great interest to young people, which motivates students to do a certain complex of exercises in extracurricular time.

PEDAGOGICAL TECHNIQUES OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS' MOTIVE SKILLS BY MEANS OF PHYSICAL EXERCISES  

 The article deals with the problem of professional training effectiveness improvement of students of vocational (technical) schools. The pedagogical technology of movement skills formation by means of physical exercises, which aims not only at the objectives of physical education, but also professional education as well, is theoretically substantiated and confirmed in the course of experimental teaching. In the article the effectiveness of the integrated approach based on the principles of Physical Education and the foundations of intersubject bonds to the movement skills formation have been thoroughly studied. The additional topics and the complex of educational teaching aids have been developed and added to the curriculum. The system of teaching Physical Education, aimed at successful mastering the skills of work actions and operations, has been realized. It has been proved that due to the integrated influence of the various physical exercises and inter-related subjects students’ physical and health state may be improved, which will consequently help to optimize the process of adaptation to the professional activity conditions. Using the outcomes of the complex research, the theoretical and methodical basics for the creation of the pedagogical technology of movement skills formation by means of Physical Exercises have been developed. The applying of the pedagogical technology into practice has allowed to define the prospects for its usage and the main points of the studying process: the formation of the technology functional system, competence, creativity and teachers’ ingenuity in the educational process of movement skills formation by means of physical exercises.
