METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING FLEXIBILITY IN STUDENTS STUDYING IN THE DIRECTION OF "CHOREOGRAPHIC ART"

The aim of this study is to develop and experimentally validate a methodology for developing flexibility in students aged 18-21 studying in the field of “Choreographic Art”.

The relevance of the study is due to cardinal changes in modern art education, enrichment of dance compositions with elements of gymnastics and acrobatics, as well as insufficient scientific and methodological development of the process of special physical training of student choreographers.

Methods and organization of the research. The study involved 20 female students of 1-2 years of the training direction 52.03.01 "Choreographic Art" (age 18-21 yers), divided into control and experimental groups of 10 people each. The experimental methodology included static and dynamic stretching exercises, PNF stretching and yoga elements. Classes were held 3 times a week for 12 weeks. 

The results of the study showed a significant increase in flexibility indicators in the experimental group (P < 0.05): the increase in forward bending was 62.4%, in the longitudinal split – 39.3%, in the transverse split – 38.5%, in the leg raise forward – 9.5%, in the "bridge" – 16.3%. In the control group, the changes were insignificant and unreliable (P > 0.05). 

Conclusion. The developed methodology can be recommended for use in the educational process of choreographic faculties of universities.
