Dmitry A. Shatunov and Kadriya R. Volkova

Abstract: The study captures the data of physical health indices, physical fitness and also the level of anxiety in the 7-9 year-old children with hearing disorders on the basis of comparative with corresponding indices obtained from the children of their age having acute hearing. Considerable lags are in indices of cardiovascular and respiratory systems, physical fitness in hearing-impaired children and also in hyperanxiety of the school children having hearing difficulty according to Taylor and Spielberg techniques. With the aim of leveling indices-lagging, the researchers have suggested the experimental correction and health promotion program of physical education of younger school children with hearing impairment. During two school years (in 2012-2014), it was conducted forming educational experiment on the basis of two special (correction) boarding schools of I, II types. In the experimental group, there were 20 hearing-impaired school children (n = 10 boys, n = 10 girls) from Yelabuga (Russia, Tatarstan). The subjects of the control groups (n = 10 boys, n = 10 girls) were the children of the same age from Kazan (Russia, Tatarstan). Efficiency of the developed program had been checked twice a year by in-between investigations. The study also gives theoretical and experimental substantiation of correction and fitness program of physical training of the younger school children with hearing-impairment.
