Effective, accessible and easy-to-use technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players in the modern realities of Ukraine: a review article

Abstract

Background and purpose. The current level of football development requires the combined development of physical fitness and various cognitive aspects. That is why the development and application of technologies that combine the development of motor skills and various aspects of cognition are needed. Purpose: on the basis of the analysis of modern scientific literature, to determine the most effective, accessible, easy-to-use technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players in the modern realities of Ukraine. Material and methods. Internet platforms Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed were used to select articles for analysis of the effectiveness of various technologies for the combined development of motor and cognitive abilities of young football players. The benefits were for issues of categories Q1-Q3 for 2020-2023. Also, preference was given to randomized control studies in which a reliable effect of the applied technologies on both motor and cognitive abilities was found at a significance level of less than 0.05. Based on the articles selected in this way, an analysis of the technologies of integral development of cognitive and motor skills of young football players was carried out. The technologies had to meet the following criteria: efficiency, integrality of impact, accessibility. Results. As a result of the search for literary sources on the topic of the integral influence on the motor and cognitive abilities of young football players, 4360 sources were selected using the keyword "football", from which, after clarification, the keywords "physical fitness", "motor abilities", "psychophysiological capabilities" were selected. "nervous system", "cognitive abilities", "intelligence" 143 sources were selected, from which 30 sources were identified for analysis. Of these sources, 6 reflect the relationship between psychophysiological and intellectual aspects of cognitive abilities and motor readiness, 4 sources reflect the development of the aspect of movement perception, and 20 articles are devoted to technologies and methods for the development of motor readiness with a combined effect on various aspects of cognitive abilities. Conclusions. The analysis of literary sources according to the parameters of effectiveness, accessibility and ease of application of technologies for the integral development of motor and cognitive abilities allowed us to highlight the following: 1 – the technology of using balls of different sizes to develop the accuracy of movements in combination with performing exercises with balls from various sports and by exercises with balls to develop attention, speed of mental processes, reaction and ability to concentrate; 2 – the technology of developing "feeling of the ball" to combine the impact on the aspect of perception in cognitive abilities and accuracy of movements; 3 - the technology of using plyometric exercises in water for the integral development of the ability to control the body in space and speed-power abilities. The use of football as a means of integral influence on the development of cognitive and motor abilities was also highlighted separately.
