Abstract:

Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted in 2023-2024, involved 195 students aged 17-20 (males), who were divided into two experimental (A and B) and one control (C) groups: group A (n = 65) included students who were engaged in high-speed and strength sports during their studies, group B (n = 61) – students who were involved in endurance sports, and group C (n = 69) – students who were not engaged in sports. The development peculiarities of time perception function were evaluated using V. L. Maryshuk’s method. Results: It has been established that there are insignificant (p > 0.05) changes in the average values of the time perception function under the influence of endurance physical activity. In contrast, under the influence of high-speed and strength loads there is a statistically significant (p < 0.05-0.001) improvement in the time perception function in students. Compared to students who did not do sports, the function of time perception in students engaged in high-speed and strength sports is significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results obtained can be used to select and orient young people in certain sports and implement medical and biological control of educational and training process.

Description:

Chronobiological peculiarities of time and space perception as complex elements of human cognition are one of the leading factors limiting the success of sports activity in most sports [1, 2]. According to scientists [3, 4], the function of time perception is a universal indicator of the efficiency and success of competitive activity: the more accurate the perception of time, the more successful the activity. Concerning the function of time perception in athletes of different sports, few studies have answered, for example, the possibility of a specific impact of training loads of different orientations on the dynamics of the formation and development of the mentioned function. The study of the influence of training of varying nature and orientation on the function of time perception, in our opinion, will expand not only the theoretical arsenal of knowledge about the patterns of temporal regulation of the functions of the body of athletes and the mechanisms of adaptation to sports training, but also can be a practical platform for solving several issues related to the sports selection and orientation of young people in particular sports and the implementation of medical and biological control of the training process [5-7]. In our previous work, we presented the research study’s results on the peculiarities of changes in the function of time perception in young athletes aged 13-16 years of specialized sports institutions, depending on the orientation of their training process [8]. The general conclusion of this work is the establishment of the specificity of the influence of trainings of different orientations (on strength, speed, and endurance) on the mental function of young athletes at the stage of specialized basic training. However, the issue of studying the influence of different sports on the formation and development of the time perception function at a later stage of long-term training – at the stage of sports excellence (17 years and older) remains unknown. That is why the latter prompted us to conduct a similar research on the influence of training loads of different orientations on time perception function development in students of 17-20 years old of specialized sports educational institutions.
