Abstract

The article examines the pedagogical feasibility of using ski races as a means of increasing the physical activity of students with hearing impairments in general secondary education institutions. The work uses analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature on adaptive physical education and inclusive education, as well as pedagogical observation, analysis of school documentation, and interviews with physical education teachers. It has been established that the organization of ski racing within physical education lessons, taking into account the psychophysical characteristics of students with hearing impairments, the use of visual teaching aids, and the step-by-step mastery of technique contributes to an increase in the level of physical activity and student engagement in classes. It was concluded that it is advisable to integrate ski racing into the variable part of physical education curricula. Prospects for further research are related to the quantitative assessment of the impact of ski racing on the indicators of motor fitness and functional status of students with hearing impairments.
