Training basketball players technology of of student teams of the humanitarian profile higher education institutions

Background and purpose. At the current stage, the importance of training basketball players during their studies at higher education institutions is growing. After all, it is precisely at the age of 18-25 years, which coincides with the age of studying at the university, that the highest rate of increase in sports achievements of basketball players is observed. But combining sports training with professional development, which requires studying at a university, has difficulties. It is difficult for the coach to take into account the psychological and psychophysiological characteristics of the students of the basketball team. Such features include the properties of the nervous system, its mobility, lability, strength, endurance, as well as the type of thinking based on the predominance of the right or left hemisphere of the brain, that is, imaginative (artistic) or logical (mental). Purpose: to develop and experimentally justify the methodology of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions, taking into account the psychophysiological capabilities of the players. Material and methods. 23 students - players of the national basketball team H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. Athletes were divided into 2 groups, control (n=12) and experimental (n=11). In the experimental group, a specially developed technology for training basketball players was used, taking into account the peculiarities of the nervous system and the type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities, that is, high mobility and lability and low endurance of the nervous system with a predominance of the artistic type of thinking. The technology included exercises for the development of speed qualities in combination with informational means of influencing the perception of technical and tactical elements in basketball. Research methods: analysis of modern literature, methods of determining the physical and technical level of athletes, methods of determining the level of attention, methods of determining the ability to concentrate and switch attention, methods of statistical analysis. Results. In the study, based on the results of the literature analysis, the psychophysiological features of students of humanitarian universities were determined. These features consist in the predominance of mobility and lability of the nervous system over endurance. On the basis of these data, a method of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions was developed. Special informational methods of influence on the perception of basketball players of humanitarian higher educational institutions of the elements of basketball technique and tactics have been developed. These methods correspond to the imaginative, artistic type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities and the peculiarities of their nervous system - high mobility and lability in combination with a low level of endurance development. Conclusions. The method of training basketball players of student teams, based on the psychophysiological characteristics of students of humanitarian universities, is effective for improving the level of special physical fitness of players, as well as the technical and tactical skills of basketball students of humanitarian universities.
