Purpose. The purpose of the study was to determine the distinctive features of the goniometric body profile of men aged 26-31 years old engaged in health-improving fitness. Material & Methods. The study involved men aged 26–28 (n=16) and 29–31 (n=17). The studies were conducted in compliance with the requirements of the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association "Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects". Research methods: analysis of literary sources, ascertaining pedagogical experiment. The Torso program was used to determine the distinctive features of the goniometric profile of the male body. All data obtained in the empirical study were processed using mathematical statistics methods. Results. It has been established that there are no statistically significant differences in the measured goniometric indices between men of the 26-28 and 29-31 age groups. The values ​​of these angles for these two groups are similar, and the age factor does not affect their values. That is, the position of the head, frontal bone and spine in men in the period from 26 to 31 years remains stable. This conclusion is quite understandable, since in the first period of mature age, the main physiological changes in the body are completed and the body is in a state of stability. And given the fact that the age difference between group members is small, this is not enough to show significant changes associated with age-related changes. Conclusions. It was found that all the studied goniometric characteristics of men aged 26-31 years have significant differences from the norm, indicating an incorrect head tilt (angle α1 is less than the norm), excessive flexion of the spine (angle α3 is greater than the norm), which indicates a systemic violation of the biogeometric state of posture, requiring correction. It was also found that there are no significant differences in the body goniometry of men aged 26-28 and 29-31 years. Therefore, the development and implementation of special programs for the correction of posture disorders aimed at correcting the tilt of the head and reducing excessive flexion of the spine, maintaining normal body weight, taking into account the individual characteristics of anthropometric indicators for the development of personalized training programs and the correction of violations of the biogeometric parameters of posture are quite capable of improving the physical development indicators of men in the first period of mature age.

The aim of the study is to examine methodological aspects of developing motor skills in children of different ages during football club activities. The article thoroughly explores training approaches for various age groups: preschool age (4-6 years), primary school age (7-10 years), middle school age (11-14 years), and adolescence (15-18 years). It is determined that each age group requires an individualized approach, taking into account anatomical and physiological characteristics and sensitive periods of children's development. The development of motor skills is achieved through various game exercises, comprehensive physical training, tactical preparation, and innovative technologies. The article also emphasizes the importance of psychological support and individualized training programs for older age groups.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the effectiveness of the developed system of physical therapy for patients with rheumatoid arthritis based on the results of indicators of daily activity, health status and quality of life. Material & Methods. 188 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were examined, including 156 women (83%) and 32 men (17%), with an average age of 44,9±7,6 years. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (n=92) and a study group (n=96). Patients in the main group were trained according to the proposed system of physical therapy, which was developed in accordance with the domains of the ICF, taking into account factors affecting the level of functional impairment, health status and quality of life (categories at the level of activity and participation). In the dynamics, a comparative assessment of functional limitations in the daily activity of the upper extremities was performed using the DASH questionnaire, health status assessment using the Stanford Health Interview, and quality of life using the EuroQol-5D-5L questionnaire. Results. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the initial examination revealed impaired performance of daily activities, in particular, activities requiring hand strength according to the DASH questionnaire, low self-assessment of health according to the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, and significant deterioration in quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) due to the negative impact of existing functional impairments of the upper extremities. After the rehabilitation intervention, patients in both groups showed statistically significant improvement in all studied indicators: facilitation of performing household activities in everyday life, increased self-assessment of health, and improved quality of life compared to baseline data (p < 0.05). However, patients in the main group showed a significantly better result than patients in the control group, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed rehabilitation measures (p

The International Classification of Functioning is a tool that will provide a patient-centered, interdisciplinary approach to physical therapy for children requiring palliative care. Purpose: to analyze the dynamics of indicators for assessing impairments and limitations according to the components of the International Classification of Functioning in the process of rehabilitation of palliative pediatric patients of non-oncological profile. Material & Methods: empirical methods (comparison, description, measurement), theoretical methods (axiomatic), general logical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization), multiple regression method. The basis of physical therapy for pediatric non-cancer palliative patients has been the biopsychosocial model presented in the International Classification of Functioning of Children and Youth (ICF-CY). Domains of ICF-CY components were selected that took into account the symptomatology of the criteria for palliative conditions. As a result, the list of domain codes in the study included 17 categories: structures and functions of the body – 6 categories (s710, b280, b710, b735, b760, b134), activity and participation – 7 categories (d310-340, d415, d465 d820, d920), environmental factors – 3 categories (e355, e320, e115). Initial patient surveys were interpreted into ICF classifiers and patient categories were generated. Results: the initial examination established the main limitations, revealed the severity of impairments in each domain, and recorded the vast majority of severe, absolute impairments in patients of both groups. A control rehabilitation assessment 24 months after the start of therapy showed positive dynamics of ICF indicators in both groups. Calculation of the dynamics of changes in classifiers showed that the components of the functioning of the body in the main group corresponded to 123,0%, in the comparison group – 52,9%, for components of activity and participation – 154,4% in the main group and comparison group – 49,9%; components Environmental factors – 81,6% in children of the main group and in patients of the comparison group, respectively – 22,9%. A reliable correlation has been established between all components of the ICF-CY version, mathematically confirmed, and the correlation coefficient is 0,787378. Conclusions: the use of the International Classification of Functioning contributed to a comprehensive examination of patients in need of non-oncological palliative care, helped to formulate a multi-vector rehabilitation program and ensured monitoring of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program.

Purpose: purpose of the work is to determine the changes in physical activity indicators of Ukrainian students in the conditions of distance education caused by the quarantine restrictions and the conditions of the legal regime of martial law. Material & Methods: the study, which lasted from 2020 to 2023, involved 1528 higher education students from different regions of Ukraine. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess physical activity. The results were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: the results of the study of PA indicators in students showed that on average they had a normal PA score, which was 26.0 (22.0; 32.0) points for males, and 24.0 (19.0; 30.0) points for females. It was proved that, compared to female students, the PA score of male students was statistically significantly higher (U=226269.5; Z=7.329; p0.05) in 2021. Nevertheless, with the outbreak of hostilities in the Ukraine, the PA score has decreased and continues to decline. There was an unprecedented increase in the percentage of students with low PA, which reached 43.1% and 60.1% among male and female students, respectively, in 2023. Conclusions: the analysis of the dynamics of PA in higher education students for the period from 2019 to 2023 revealed a decrease in the PA score during the distance learning period, regardless of gender status. The only exception was 2021, which can be explained by the adaptation of students to distance learning. Instead, the armed conflict in the country led to a sharp decline in the PA score and a statistically significant (p

Study purpose. The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between quality of life and physical activity level and family well-being. Materials and Methods. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess parental physical activity. The quality of life was assessed with the Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey Questionnaire. The data obtained were processed using cluster and correlation analysis, and descriptive statistics. The study involved 106 young adults (married couples), who were parents of preschool and primary school-aged children. Results. An assessment of parental physical activity showed that 62.3% of the respondents had a low level of physical activity and 37.7% had a moderate level, whereas no individuals with a high level of physical activity were found. Families with children were divided into clusters with the k-means method according to the level of physical activity: Cluster 1 included families with a low level of physical activity; and Cluster 2 included the families with a moderate level of physical activity. The results of the study confirmed the relationship between the quality of life and the level of physical activity and family well-being. It was found that all the quality of life components of the study participants with a moderate level of physical activity are significantly higher (р

The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for posture disorders in esports-men and master’s degree students of physical culture and sports. The research involved 37 sports-men and students. The research has found out that 32.4% of the respondents spend more than six hours a day on a computer. The research has proven that the posture of the respondents is most negatively affected by the reduced strength level of the lower extremities and torso, lack of active breaks during long work with a personal computer (PC), lack of awareness in the prevention of posture disorders when working with a PC, and neglect to control a PC user posture. The re- search suggests the structure of factors that negatively affect the posture condition of esportsmen and master’s degree students in the specialty “Esports”. The structure of risks for postural disor- ders contains three factors, that explain 66.2% of the total variance: “Failure to comply with the ergonomically optimal posture of a PC user”, “Disorders of the musculoskeletal system of esports- men” and “Lack of measures to neutralize the negative impact of esports activities”. It is necessary to develop and implement health-improving measures to prevent postural disorders and diseases of the musculoskeletal system in esportsmen and students.

Study purpose. The purpose of the study was to assess the correlation between the level of health-improving and recreational physical activity and family well-being. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis of data from special scientific and methodological literature, generalization, systematization, sociological methods, and mathematical statistics. A research among parents was conducted using online surveying through completing an online questionnaire created with Google Forms. The study involved 106 married couples. The average age of the respondents was 35.1±4.2 years. The vast majority of the studied families (95.1%) had up to two children (preschool and school age). Results. The respondents were divided into two clusters according to their level of motor activity. Cluster 1 included families with a low level of physical activity, and cluster 2 included those with an average level of physical activity.Depending on the level of physical activity, statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences were found between the families in terms of the following parameters: motivations for engaging in active leisure, amount of leisure time, level of knowledge and skills in organizing active leisure, reasons preventing participation in active leisure, etc. The families differed significantly (p < 0.05) in 23 categorical parameters. It was found that the families with different levels of physical activity did not differ in their desire to engage in winter recreational activities. Reasons preventing participation in health-enhancing and recreational physical activity programs were identified. A comparative analysis of the current state of family well-being revealed statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences in all studied parameters between the families with different levels of physical activity, i.e. the families with a proper level of physical activity had higher scores of satisfaction, well-being, and quality of life. Low indicators of family well-being indicated the rationale for such families to engage in active recreation and increase their level of health-enhancing and recreational physical activity. Conclusions. A relationship was identified between the level of health-enhancing and recreational physical activity and indicators of satisfaction, family well-being, and quality of life.

Assessment of the quality of life of a child with a disability involves studying the physical, psychological, emotional, and social components of his life. Such a multidimensional phenomenon as the assessment of the quality of life of a child with a disability is a personalized and unique survey result, as rather subjective survey indicators are taken into account, which determine the satisfaction of individual needs in the context of the life of a pediatric patient. The QI-Disability questionnaire includes the study of the possibility of communication, psychosocial indicators, physical health, and independence are taken into account. The purpose of the study: analysis of the assessment of the quality of life of children with disabilities of the palliative non-oncology group. Research methods: empirical methods (comparison, description, measurement), theoretical method (axiomatic), general logical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization), general assessment of quality of life QI-Disability, multivariate regression model. The study was conducted on the basis of the Rivne Educational and Rehabilitation Center «Special Child». 47 (100%) children took part in the study. Research results. The analysis of statistical indicators of children's disability in the Rivne region during 2015-2021 showed that the number of children with disabilities due to congenital anomalies aged 0-2 years is decreasing: by 73, taking into account the absolute number; due to neurological diseases by 18, taking into account the absolute number; from all causes less by 105; children with disabilities due to congenital anomalies aged 3-6 years decreased: by 143, taking into account the absolute number; due to neurological diseases by 15, taking into account the absolute number; from all reasons less by 189.However, the number of children in this category aged 7 to 14, on the contrary, is increasing: children with disabilities due to congenital anomalies have increased to 191 in absolute terms; due to neurological diseases increased by 63, taking into account the absolute number; 210 more than all the reasons. The study of the quality of life using the QI-Disability survey showed that in the parameter «Social interaction» 388 points were obtained, in the parameter «Negative emotions» – 574 points, in the parameter «Positive emotions» – 237 points, in the domain «Leisure and walks on nature» – 180 points, in the domain «Physical health» – 302 points, in the domain «Independence» – 154 points. In the process of analyzing indicators, a reliable correlation was established between the «Positive Emotions» questionnaire component and other components, which was mathematically confirmed: the dependence is reliable, since the correlation coefficient is 0,921445. Conclusions. The increase in the number of children with disabilities prompts the study of the quality of life of a child of this category in order to find means of rehabilitation to improve the quality of life of the pediatric patient and his family.

Background. The physical benefits of fitness for middle-aged women are well-known. Unlike the usual training sessions, aquafitness occupies a special place among the types of health-related exercise training. Its health-enhancing effect results from the activation of the body's functional systems, the gravitational unloading of the musculoskeletal system, high energy expenditures, and overall body hardening effect. The objective of this study was to evaluate the health-enhancing effects of an aquafitness program on the functional indicators and physical fitness of early adulthood women. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, anthropometric techniques, pedagogical methods, and methods of mathematical statistics were used. The functional status of the body was assessed with the indices characterizing the function of the cardiorespiratory system, which are commonly used. The study was conducted at the Sport Life fitness club, Chernivtsi. The study involved 48 women aged 21-31 with an average age of 26.3 years. The subjects took part in a six-month aquafitness program consisting of 60-min sessions, three times a week. The program was developed by the authors and included aquatic stretching, body shaping and bodybuilding exercise, aquadance, aquatic gymnastics, and aqua tae-bo. Results. After participation in the exercise program: vital capacity increased from 45.96±4.69 to 48.88±0.68; strength index increased from 35.80±1.07 to 43.26±0.71; Robinson's index increased from 85.72±12.34 to 89.63±10.11; Shtange test increased from 30.28±10.32 to 37.78±12.34; Hench test changed from 16.48±4.24 to 25.19±4.58; Kerdo index decreased from 5.23±0.74 to 0.88±0.38; and Rufier's test decreased from 12.21±4.26 to 8.03±2.14. The assessment of somatic health of the women showed a significant improvement (p

Study purpose. The study was aimed at assessing the quality of active family leisure and identifying motivations for and interests in health-enhancing and recreational physical activity of parents and children. Materials and methods. The study involved 106 families. A set of generally accepted research methods was used including theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature as well as domestic and international practical experience related to family leisure; sociological methods (questionnaire surveys), and mathematical statistics methods. Results. The questionnaire survey provided an opportunity to identify priority areas of joint physical activity of children and parents and to assess the quality of family well-being and active family leisure. The attitude of parents to winter types of recreation in the organization of active leisure was identified. According to the survey data, 9.4% of the families had a high level, 59.4% had an average level, 30.3% had a satisfactory level, and 0.9% had an unsatisfactory level of family well-being. The vast majority of respondents (45.2%) believed that their family members had a satisfactory level of physical activity, 40.6% of families reported they had an average level, only 10.4% indicated they had a high level, and 3.8% said they had an unsatisfactory level. Among the surveyed families, 63.2% indicated an average level of satisfaction with family leisure, 29.2% rated their leisure as satisfactory, and the remaining 3.8% indicated an excellent or unsatisfactory level. Conclusions. The focus was on identifying prevailing motivations, which contribute to the optimization of the family leisure process and the degree of activity when using recreational technologies. The obtained results indicate a significant potential for expanding physical activity of families with children, including through the use of winter recreation.

Background. The development of effective environmental management programs requires an appropriate assessment of the current state of the environment and contributes to anticipating future changes in the state of the environment. Obtaining such information is one of the main objectives of monitoring the environment, which is subject to anthropogenic stress, including radiological contamination. The distribution of radionuclides and their ability to migrate in ecological chains and concentration in individual parts requires special control in contaminated areas. Objective. The purpose of the study was to analyze the content of radionuclides ( 137Cs and 90Sr) in soils near the settlements of the zone of radioactive contamination of the Volyn region and their spatial differentiation. Priority is given to agricultural lands, soils, crop products, which necessitates the organization of targeted monitoring of the agro industrial complex. Material and methods. Radioactivity from 137Cs and 90Sr in the soil originating in the Volyn region was studied from 1996 to 2018. Radiation control was carried out on the area of 59852 ha (arable land - 38897 ha, meadows and pastures – 20955 ha). Results. A significant part of the study area has elevated levels of radioactive contamination. The density of radionuclide contamination of agricultural soils in the settlements of the region has been determined. Density of pollution of all surveyed agricultural lands 137Cs ranges from 0.01 to 2.826 Ci/km2, and 90Sr from 0.01 to 0.048 Ci/km2. Conclusions. The radiological situation in the Volyn region (Ukraine) remains stable. There are slight fluctuations of 137Cs and 90Sr, which is due to changes in weather conditions, which leads to an increase or decrease in groundwater and as a consequence - the migration of radionuclides. The most polluted were the soils of administrative districts of Manevychi and Liubeshiv.

Actuality. Over the past decades, a body of scientific knowledge has been accumulated on the problem of studying the state of human motorics in mature age during the process of physical exercises. Data from numerous studies indicate that impaired posture of people in mature age, a decrease in the level of physical fitness is a relevant today problem. Research objective is to determine the motor preparedness of men aged 26–31 years old who are engaged in health fitness using the Functional Movement Screen test system. Research results. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, it was planned to conduct a functional assessment of physical fitness and movements of men aged 26–28 years old (n=16) and 29–31 years old (n=17) involved in the experiment. It was found that in test 1 (“Deep Squat”), where a deep squat was performed, most men (87.87%) received high scores (2 or 3 points), which is a good result. When stepping over the barrier (“Hurdle Step” – test 2), a significant part (69.7%) experienced problems with balance and coordination and received only 1 point. None received 3 points, which indicates the need to improve these skills. When performing a lunge in test 3 (“In-Line Lung”), more than half (57.58%) of the participants received scores of 2 or 3 points, which indicates a satisfactory ability to perform such an exercise. Test 4 (“Shoulder Mobility”) on the mobility of the shoulder girdle was performed by half of the participants (45.45%) with 1 point, that is, they had problems with the mobility of the shoulder girdle. Almost half (45.45%) of the subjects performed the raising of straight leg (“Active Straight Leg Raise” – Test 5) with limited flexibility, but there was also a significant number (45.45%) who scored 2 points. When performing Test 6 (“Trunk Stability Push Up”), the majority of participants (81.82%) showed a high level of body strength and stability, receiving 2 or 3 points. Also, more than 80% of the participants demonstrated satisfactory or high rotational stability, receiving 2 or 3 points for Test 7 (“Rotary Stability”). Conclusions. It was found that men aged 26-28 had better overall functional fitness compared to men aged 29-31. This is confirmed by higher average values of the overall functional assessment compared to men aged 29-31, as evidenced by a difference of 2.16 points (p

The investigation deals with designing and developing of intellectual system of movies recommendations based on the collaborative filtering using the Python software environment. In particular, the approaches (Content-based approach, Collaborative filtering, Hybrid models) in recommendatory system construction with the help of neural networks have been analyzed. It has been established that it is difficult to implement and learn the Content-based approach and it strongly depends on the subject area. Collaborative filtering is more simple in implementation, training, it is universal, but it has a flaw in the form of a «cold-start». Accordingly, the collaborative filtering has been chosen for the design and development of the intellectual system of movies recommendations. While designing a system of recommendations based on collaborative filtering, the Naive Recommendations, Recommendations based on average ratings of similar users, Recommendations based on average user ratings and similarity matrix have been described; their algorithm and their implementation using the Python software environment have been demonstrated. As a result the intellectual system of recommendations has been realized and it can offer a movie to the user according to his/her preferences.

Relevance. The modern reformation of society requires the correction of many aspects of a person's life: increasing the level of health and motor activity, mobilizing of their psyche, increasing the level of physical fitness, which ensure their adaptation to new conditions and phenomena of life. Studying the socio-pedagogical profile of women in the first period of adulthood is an important research step. Research tasks. To determine the education, marital status, social status, history of physical activity, having of children, goals of classes, forms of classes, health status, smoking habits and regularity of morning gymnastics of women aged 23-27 years who are engaged in health fitness. Research results. Health fitness classes in the first period of adulthood allow not only improve or maintain the functional capabilities of women at a high level for a long time, but also create reliable conditions for the formation of stable motives and needs for motor activity in the following years of life. It was found that the majority of women (59.46%) have higher education, what indicates their high academic level and probably greater awareness of healthy lifestyles. More than half of the participants (51.35%) are married women, a significant proportion are also divorced (40.54%), what emphasizes their life experience in family relationships. The social status of the participants varies between working women (62.16%) and housewives (37.84%), what indicates the different level of involvement in the labor market and the impact on their lifestyle. Conclusions. There were some differences in educational level and marital status between women aged 23-25 and 26-27. Differences in physical activity goals, health assessment, and smoking habits were also found. In other aspects, such as social status, physical activity, having the children, form of classes and morning gymnastics, the differences between age groups were insignificant, according to which women of the first period of adulthood have similar socio-pedagogical influences.

The purpose of the study is to determine the dynamics of pain intensity in different parts of the spine in women of the first mature age under the influence of pilates. Materials and methods. 64 women took part in research. The women were divided into two groups, each of which included 32 people. The study was carried out at the Sokol sports club and the Olimp fitness club in Kiev. We used the questionnaire “Visual analogue scale of pain”. Results. We measured the level of pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine of women of the first mature age. It was found that only 4.69 % of women do not have pain. It was found that women of the first mature age the most often feel painin the cervical region. The women of the control group were engaged in a typical Pilates program. The women of the experimental group were engaged in the author’s program, a feature of which was the use of large equipment during classes. In addition, women who could not attend classes were offered the Pilates computer program. For the experiment, no statistically significant difference between the level of pain in different parts of the spine of women was established. After the experiment, a statistically significant decrease in the level of pain in the lumbar section of women in the experimental group was recorded compared with women in the control group. Conclusions. The results indicate the effectiveness of large equipment to reduce the level of pain in the back of a woman.

The purpose of the article is to study prerequisites for the development of preventive measures against office syndrome among women of working age. Material and methods. The research involved 52 female office employees 21 to 57 years old. Results. The extended clustering of the original data using EM method with the performance of V-fold crosschecking has shown that female office employees are clearly divided into two clusters depending on the manifestation of office syndrome. Despite our assumptions, their division does not depend on age or length of service in the office, but on the manifestation of office syndrome and behavioral characteristics in the work process. Women assigned to different clusters are characterized by statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences between the level of pain in the joints and spine. The research has found that among female office employees with increased musculoskeletal pain, there are statistically significantly (p

Annotation. Rehabilitation of children who need palliative non-oncology care is a complex and multi-vector task. WHO defines palliative pediatric care as a complex of active care for the physical and mental state of the child, its cognitive abilities, as well as support for the patient's family. To provide comprehensive palliative care that is child- and family-centered, it is possible to use the International Classification of Functioning to examine and build a rehabilitation system. The purpose of the study: to analyze the application of the international classification of functioning in the process of rehabilitation examination of children who need palliative care. Research methods: empirical methods (comparison, description, measurement), theoretical method (axiomatic), general logical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization). The study was conducted on the basis of the Rivne Educational and Rehabilitation Center «Special Child» 47 (100%) children took part in the study. Research results. The International Classification of Functioning-Children, Adolescents (ICF-DP) was used to define a set of tools for rehabilitation assessment of pediatric patients. Taking into account the psychometric criteria of the assessment scales, the following were selected for the examination of the Structure and function of the body component: s 710 – brain structure – disease history and systematized diagnoses according to ICD-10; Pain sensation (b 280) – 5-point scale of verbal assessments, visual-analog scale of pain intensity (10 points), FLACC scale; Joint mobility functions (b 710) – goniometry; Muscle tone functions (b 735) – Modified Ashforth spasticity scale; to analyze the problem Sleep functions (b 134) allowed a survey of parents; observing the control of voluntary motor functions (b 760) contributed to the study of the state of the problem. Examination of the domains of the Activity and Participation component was provided by the PEDI Pediatric Disability Questionnaire, parent questionnaire, observation of pediatric patients: communication (d 310-340), Schooling (d 820), recreation, leisure (d 920) – PEDI Pediatric Disability Questionnaire (assessment social functions); d 550 nutrition – PEDI pediatric disability questionnaire (self-care); moving from place to place (d 460) – Classification of the system of general motor functions GMFCS; use of precise movements of the hand and hand (d 440) – MACS fine motor development level (levels), «Box and cubes» test; maintaining body position (d 415) – observation. Through survey and observation, the Environmental Factors component examined the presence of facilitating or barrier factors. In the aspect of personal factors, the patient's age, gender, and motivation for physical therapy classes were analyzed. Structure and function disorders were found in 43% of the overall assessment, activity and participation limitations covered 39%, and environmental factors – 18%. A review of limitations and impairments confirms that the greatest problem in pediatric patients requiring palliative care is in the Activity and Participation component (182 points). Therefore, the use of the International Classification of Functioning – Children, Adolescents contributes to the selection of tools for assessing the functioning of children in need of palliative care, and ensures the control of the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Conclusions. Evaluation of pediatric patients who belong to the non-oncology palliative group is a complex, multifaceted task, since complex disorders and pathological conditions prompt the search for evaluation resources that would allow monitoring the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process. The International Classification of Functioning, which is represented by the Basic Set «Childhood Cerebral Palsy» provides those domains that fully reveal the needs of a child with a disability in all areas of life – Structures and functions of the body, Activity and Participation, Environmental factors. The international classification of functioning must be used to assess the pathological condition of a pediatric patient, since it is the multifaceted examination that will ensure the formation of a multifaceted rehabilitation program.

Relevance. There are factors of the physical environment and/or physical conditions of activity, namely, work mode, information flows, working posture at a personal computer, muscle tension, etc. that specialists include into the list of intra-organizational conditions of activity having a negative effect on human health. Most of people who are in the above-described technogenic conditions are restricted in their movements. Research tasks. Determining the features of posture types of women aged 23-27. Studying the motivational priorities of the studied contingent. Determining statistically significant relationships between age, type of posture and socio-pedagogical profile of women of the first period of adulthood. Research results. Only 24.8% of women were found to have normal posture, while the rest suffered from postural disorders, with round back being the most common disorder found of 40.7% of women, associated with excessive curvature of the thoracic spine. A flat back is observed at 26.6% of women, and a scoliotic posture is found of 7.9% of women. It is worth noting that women of the first period of adulthood show a high interest in physical education and sports rehabilitation. The main motivational priorities include the health motive is the most important incentive for the majority of women (62.2%), which indicates their desire to maintain and improve their health. The aesthetic motive ranks second in importance (24.3%), emphasizing the importance of appearance for these women. The emotional motive (10.8%) also has a certain significance, indicating the importance of positive emotions and well-being from classes. Communicative and professional motives occupy lower positions, which may indicate a lower orientation towards social interactions or professional benefits from physical activity. Conclusions. It is determined that time constraints, family responsibilities, and lack of awareness were identified as major barriers for regular physical activity, as married and divorced women may have less time for physical activity due to family responsibilities. The lack of support from the environment can also reduce motivation for physical activities, this is evidenced by the fact that most women (81.08%) prefer classes in physical culture and health groups or sections, and independent classes are not popular among participants.

Annotation. In the process of rehabilitation examination, the assessment of pain in children of the palliative non-oncological group is a difficult task. This is due to a number of reasons: reduced communication skills, unclear pathogenesis, etiology, nature of pain. At the same time, identifying the pain syndrome and suppressing it will provide comfort to the child and confidence to the parents. The purpose of the study: analysis of pain syndrome in children who need palliative non-oncological care. Research methods: empirical methods (comparison, description, measurement), theoretical method (axiomatic), general logical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization), pain intensity assessment scales. Research results. To assess the intensity of pain, the following were used: children's scale for pain assessment by facial expressions of Wong-Baker (1988) – 10 (21,3%) children, assessment of pain in children who cannot speak or with speech disorders (from 6 months to 7 years old) – FLACC scale – 10 (21,3%) children, visual analog scale (VAS) – 19 (40,4%), KUSS (1998) children's pain assessment scale – 8 (17,0%). The results of the assessment of pain intensity are interpreted in the ICF qualifier «b 280 feeling of pain». The results of the survey revealed the following indicators: b 280.4 absolute violations were found in 14 children, b 280.3 severe violations were recorded in 26 children, b 280.2 moderate violations were detected in 6 children, 280.1 mild violations in one child. At the same time, the survey showed that most often children express or complain about pain of various concentrations: in the muscles of the lower limbs – «Minor pain» – 4 (8,5%), «Mild pain» – 5 (10,6%), «Moderate pain» – 27 (57,4%), «Severe pain» – 8 (17,0%), «Excessive pain» – 3 (6,3%); in the muscles of the shoulder girdle: «Slight pain» – 12 (25,5%), «Mild pain» – 12 (25,5%), «Moderate pain» – 11 (23,4%), «Severe pain» – 9 (39,1%), «Excessive pain» – 3 (6,3%); in the back: «Minor pain» – 7 (15,8%), «Mild pain» – 13 (27,6%), «Moderate pain» – 11 (23,4%), «Severe pain» – 10 (21,2%), «Excessive pain» – 6 (12,7%); unexplained pain manifested by crying: «Slight pain» – 11 (23,4%), «Mild pain» – 17 (36,1%), «Moderate pain» – 9 (39,1%),« Severe pain» – 7 (14,8%), «Excessive pain" – 3 (6,3%). There were no children who did not have pain. Clarifying the localization of pain contributed to the idea that musculoskeletal problems caused by hypodynamia, long-term immobilization, forced pathological position of the body provoke a significant share of discomfort. Conclusion. Thus, there is a need to include pain assessment in the complex of rehabilitation examination of children with disabilities in order to form an integrated approach to the rehabilitation program.

The purpose of the research is the scientific justification and development of a system of physical therapy for children who need palliative care. The methods of research in this case are empirical methods (description, comparison, measurement), the method of theoretical knowledge (axiomatic), general logical methods (analysis, synthesis), systematic approach. The basis of providing palliative care involves a patient-centered approach of a multidisciplinary team, the composition of which is determined by the patient's needs, his age, and the severity of his condition. If we consider the rehabilitation support of children who need non-oncological palliative care within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, it can be stated that, having violations in the Body Structure and Functions component, they have significant limitations in the Activity-Participation component. Contextual factors – Environmental factors and Personal factors – play a significant role in the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation. After the rehabilitation instrumental examination, the needs of the child and his family members, child-centered tasks are identified, and the goal of physical therapy is formed. The means of the rehabilitation program are therapeutic physical culture, massage, positioning, dance and movement therapy, photo therapy and art therapy using the «hand in hand» method; selection of technical means of movement, rehabilitation equipment for modification of the educational space. Therefore, the means of the physical therapy program will be directed to reducing the complication of the main disease, will help to form the household-educational-social organization of the space of children of this category, will contribute to the emotional and psychological stability of patients, their family members, and representatives of the interdisciplinary team.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease with insufficiently studied hitherto etiology and pathogenesis. Purpose: based on the analysis of literature to form a modern understanding of the syndrome of chronic fatigue and approaches to physical rehabilitation. Methods of the research: analysis of scientific literature, synthesis and generalization. Results: A perspective on the evaluation of the pathogenesis of the disease and the development of new treatments is the view on chronic fatigue syndrome as a pronounced disadapted syndrome, against which the effects of viral infection and immune system disorders are manifested. In the study of predisposing to the development of chronic fatigue syndrome factors, along with high stress, social and economic instability, pollution of the environment, very important are the low standard of living, poor quality and expensive (not available) medical assistance. For patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, compulsory daily walks, therapeutic gymnastics courses, massage, hydrotherapy and autogenous training are recommended. Essential role belongs to complex sanatorium treatment (sparing-training regime of motor activity, diet, internal use of drinking mineral water, mineral baths) and physiotherapy methods. Conclusions: The provision of medical care for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome should begin with early detection of the symptom complex and further readaptation and rehabilitation. The main principle of treatment and rehabilitation of chronic fatigue syndrome is its complexity.

The purpose, main tasks and principles of the author's concept are defined, conceptual approaches to the problems of physical therapy of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are analyzed. The main approaches to the prerequisites for the development of the author's concept of restoring the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis are considered, which include: biological, social and personal prerequisites. A system of restoration and improvement of the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis has been developed, which consists in the integrated application of rehabilitation measures, taking into account the individual and interdisciplinary approach to each patient in each of the recovery periods. The methodological approaches in accordance with the domains of the International classification of functioning, taking into account the factors that affect the level of functional impairment and quality of life of the patient, are taken into account. It is emphasised that the proposed concept was holistic in nature, based on the targeted use of a comprehensive psychological, pedagogical, medical and rehabilitation approach, physical therapy programmes were individually selected for each patient, taking into account functional joint disability, rheumatoid arthritis activity, quality of life and health status of patients. The article presents the technology of rehabilitation measures to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, achieve clinical remission, reduce pain, improve joint motor function, prevent deformities and contractures, maintain performance and improve quality of life. It was noted that the realization of the restorative effect in accordance with the tasks of physical therapy varied. Each patient was given a personalized approach to rehabilitation intervention, taking into account the degree of functional joint disability, participation in work life and psychosocial issues.

In institutions of higher education in Ukraine, there is a large number of female students with certain permanent or temporary health problems, associated with the disadvantages of physical development and reduced functional capacity of the body. These disadvantages can be eliminated with the help of physical education courses, which are an important part of the process of training in higher education institutions of III-IV accreditation level. We have reviewed the dynamics of the quantitative composition of first-year female students of a special medical group over the last six years and identified the most common nosology of students. The study involved 20 female students with diseases of the cardiovascular system. To determine the level of physical development we have analyzed the anthropometric indicators and evaluated the functional capabilities of the cardiovascular system. The level of physical preparedness was determined by test exercises such as hand strength, flexibility and squatting on one leg. We have found that the number of first-year female students who were classified into a special medical group is 23.6% and increases every year, although the total number of students is decreasing. The most common diseases among this category of students are pathologies of the cardiovascular system (46,4%), musculoskeletal system (20,8%) and vision organs (11,4%). We have determined the physical development of students according to anthropometric indicators is determined. We have evaluated the functional state of the cardiovascular system. We have established that the obtained data are within the limits of the age and physiological norms that can be found in the literature. We have calculated the Ruffier Index, which indicates low rates of cardiovascular system of first-year female students. The use of the proposed system of physical exercises for physical education for first-year female students has positively influenced the work of the cardiovascular system and the physical preparedness of the respondents. ​

The article discusses the main criteria for assessment tools for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, analyses the methods and questionnaires most commonly used in medical and rehabilitation practice, in particular, taking into account the International Functioning Qualification and the recommendations of the Ukrainian Association of Rheumatologists on the treatment of the disease. The purpose of the paper is to analyse and identify the main criteria for assessment tools for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific data in the modern scientific and methodological literature and selection of the main assessment tools for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Results. The examination of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis is based on determining the objective condition of all organs and systems, the condition of the affected joints, which is the key to establishing a diagnosis, planning and predicting a physical therapy programme. In the course of the study, we found that researchers use different criteria and methodological approaches to the rehabilitation examination of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Usually, examination of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis is based on generally accepted methods, which include: finding out the patient's complaints; careful collection of anamnesis (history) of the disease; objective assessment of vital body systems; objective examination, palpation of affected joints; use of additional research methods. Conclusion. As a result of the analysis of scientific achievements in the modern scientific and methodological literature, we have identified the following main criteria for the assessment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: determination of motor and functional disorders, VAS, Ketle index, MMT, goniometry, dynamometry, BCTQ, Sollerman hand function test, DASH, HADS, Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, and the EuroQol-5D-5L.
