Methodology of programming adaptive physical recreation activities

Abstract

The article presents a methodology for programming adaptive physical recreation sessions for individuals with intellectual disabilities, taking into account their age-specific and psychophysical
characteristics. The program, designed for a total of 260 hours per year, includes cardio training, corrective gymnastics, workout, stretching, bowling, as well as theoretical and elective classes. For each type of activity, recommendations were developed regarding frequency, sequence, physiological impact, seasonal factors, and weather conditions. The research results demonstrated the effectiveness of the comprehensive approach: participants’ physical fitness improved on average by 18.8 % (flexibility - by 21.9 %, coordination - by 115.6 %, strength - by 12.5 %, endurance - by 25.2 %). It is concluded that the proposed program is effective for implementation within the system of adaptive physical culture, contributing to improved physical condition, increased motivation, and enhanced social integration of individuals with disabilities.
