Development of special motor skills of students of expeditionary professions

For students with professional groups, whose activities are related to expeditionand fieldwork, there are special requirements for the development of specific motor and personal qualities, as well as the skillsof movement in cross country skiing and without, orienteering and overcoming natural obstacles. Graduates who have an optimal levelof general endurance, strength, quickness, agility, in conditions associated with high physical exertion and mental stress, are far superiorto objective measures of occupational health specialists with insufficient level of development, they have much faster formation of othercompetencies, and their applied motor skills are formed more effectively. And, finally, physically versatile trained specialists are lessprone to adverse and negative factors of professional activity. The aim of the study was to develop a set of special exercises for the formationof special motor skills of students of expeditionary professions and evaluate their effectiveness. For the formation of professionalcompetence in the field of physical culture among graduates of geological and geographical specialties, we have developed a set of exercisesto develop strength, endurance and coordination of students, as well as skills in skiing, tourism and orienteering. 6 complexeswere written for the autumn - spring period classes, and 5 complexes on skis for the winter season activities. In each session a specificcomplex is practiced, which should be carried out at the end of the main part of the lesson. The duration of the complex is about 15-20minutes. The proposed sets of exercises have shown high efficiency in the formation of professional significance of special motor skillsof students of the Geology and Geography Faculty. The experimental group had a significantly higher growth in test results comparedwith the control one. Clear advantage was shown in the development of skill, discipline, teamwork and skills in shaping the terrain orientation and overcoming natural obstacles. Based on these results, we can assume that the inclusion in the program of physical educationfor students of the Geology and Geography Faculty of complexes developed by us will contribute to a number of common culturaland professional competencies that are relevant for future careers.
