The influence of the methodology for developing bodily-kinesthetic intelligence on the degree of physical manifestation – tension in 12-13-year-old football players with Down syndrome during technical training in mini-football

The purpose of the study is to describe the impact of the developed methodology on the development of the bodily component of intelligence in football players with Down syndrome aged 12–13 during technical training in mini-football (futsal). Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, empirical methods (testing, pedagogical experiment), and methods of mathematical and statistical processing of experimental data were used. The developed methodology for the development of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence was tested in the training process of football players with Down syndrome aged 12–13 years. Research results and conclusions. Based on the obtained results, a correlation was established between the quantitative increase in muscle tension and sensory stimuli, which contributes to the development of one of the main components of the bodily-kinesthetic intellectual sphere of young football players with Down syndrome. The increase in the degree of bodily manifestations indicates the practicality of the applied method in the process of technical training of football players in the discipline of 'mini-football' (futsal) and confirms the appropriateness of including this method in the sports training program.
