Hygienic assessment of conditions and organization of training process in children and youth sports schools

Abstract

The paper presents the sanitary-hygienic characteristics of the conditions for practicing mass sports in youth sports schools. 10 sports schools were examined, microclimate and lighting parameters were measured, medical and pedagogical observations were made on the organization of the training process. Results: children and youth sports schools are in demand among residents of Ekaterinburg. Moreover, given the overcrowded sections in a number of sports and the widespread use of rented premises for classes, the demand for these services far exceeds the opportunities available in the city. The existing sports base is developing, in a number of schools systematic repairs are being carried out, and modern sports equipment is being purchased. At the same time, the training process safety is not fully ensured in any of the schools surveyed. The main problems are an incomplete set of main and auxiliary premises, insufficient space of the premises, lack of conditions for the provision of medical care, defects in the floor covering or areas, violations of the air-heat, light modes, cleaning mode of the premises and drinking regime. The training process as a whole is organized rationally. However, in some kinds of sports, the training duration exceeds the permissible values and there is no proper control over the behavior of children by the coach.
