V–X klasių mokinių fizinio aktyvumo ir sportinės orientacijos kaitos ypatumai

Abstract

Straipsnyje aptariamas V–X klasių mokinių fizinis aktyvumas, sportavimo motyvai ir jų kaita skirtingais amžiaus periodais. Gauti tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad dalis mokinių sportuoja sporto klubuose, sporto mokyklose, šokių būreliuose. Dauguma sportuojančių V–X klasių mokinių mano, jog jie yra pakankamai fiziškai aktyvūs ir jiems niekas netrukdo užsiiminėti norima veikla. Tačiau gilesnių tyrimų rezultatai rodo, kad didelė dalis mokyklinio amžiaus mokinių vidutiniškai per dieną prie kompiuterio ar televizoriaus praleidžiamas laikas su amžiumi ilgėja. Taip pat įvairaus amžiaus mokinių fizinio aktyvumo tyrimų rezultatai rodo, kad amžius neturi įtakos paauglių berniukų pasirinkimui lankyti pasirinktos sporto šakos treniruotes. Tai reiškia, kad privalu ieškoti motyvacijos svertų, kurie turėtų įtakos įvairaus amžiaus vaikų ir paauglių fiziniam aktyvumui skatinti

The second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries mark the third and the beginning of the fourth technical revolutions, which have changed the socio-economic and household conditions of humans, and have an unambiguous impact on the health, physical and mental capacities of all persons, especially children and teenagers. Hence, there is a growing demand for scientific studies that would help to answer the main question – how can young and elderly people be motivated to change their lifestyle seeking to ensure physical activity? This is especially significant when exploring the motivation, value-based orientations and provisions of children and teenagers. The problem is formulated as a question – how can the lack of physical activity, which is particularly significant for a growing organism in childhood, adolesce and mature age, be compensated? The object of the research is the educational factors determining teenagers’ physical activity and sport orientation. The aim of the research is to explore the factors determining the physical activity and the choice of a sport branch of the fifth-tenth grade boys. According to the research conducted by Raskilas (2011), boys play computer games 18.8 hours on average per week in Lithuania. The results of our research comply with the findings of the aforesaid author. Most learners spend 2–3 hours per day in front of the computer or TV; however, the time spent in front of the TV or computer increases with age. This may be conditioned by the abundance of information on the internet and learning load related to the tasks of other school subjects. Strukčinskienė et al. (2011) maintains that approximately 16.5% of school boys walk outside for more than an hour a day. 40.6% of the boys walk outside for more than half an hour per day. More than a third of the respondents (33.3%) walk outside for less than 15 minutes per day. [...]
