Adaptive physical education and sports

The issue presents the results of interdisciplinary research conducted within the scope of the academic specialty 5.8.6, Health-Building and Adaptive Physical Culture. Its primary focus is identifying effective methods of corrective influence on individuals through physical activity. The issue features eight articles addressing the challenges of adaptive physical education, adaptive sports, and adaptive rehabilitation. They outline approaches to organizing physical culture and wellness programs for children with autism spectrum disorders; justify the feasibility of preventing flat feet in preschoolers living in the northern regions of Russia; and develop a framework for the personalized regulation of physical exertion for students in special medical groups. Furthermore, the articles explain the need for a scientific rationale regarding the standards of the All-Russian physical culture and training program "Ready for Labor and Defense" (GTO) for individuals with Down syndrome. They also propose methodological approaches to structuring the training process for athletes with intellectual disabilities (in track and field), hearing impairments (in billiards), and visual impairments (in football). Additionally, the publication examines the physical rehabilitation and habilitation of adults with acquired musculoskeletal disorders resulting from combat injuries and wounds. The geographical scope of the research presented for discussion spans various regions of Russia, from the Far Eastern Federal District to the Kaliningrad Region.
