**PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

FOR GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS**

Grades 5–9

Elective Module “Combat Horting”

Explanatory Note

The elective module “Combat Horting” within the Physical Education Curriculum for grades 5–9 of general secondary education institutions includes health-improving, general physical, technical, and educational components. The module has been developed in accordance with the requirements of the State Standard of Basic and Complete General Secondary Education.

The purpose of introducing the elective module “Combat Horting” into the general secondary school curriculum is to strengthen students’ health, provide comprehensive physical development, and foster moral and ethical qualities of personality, as well as patriotic values based on the health-promoting and cultural traditions of the Ukrainian people.

The elective module “Combat Horting” consists of the following sections:

• Content of Educational Material
• State Requirements for the Level of General Educational Preparation of Students

The section “Content of Educational Material” includes theoretical information, general and special physical training, technical and tactical training, recommended educational standards, as well as a list of equipment and individual training gear required for studying the module.

The section “State Requirements for the Level of General Educational Preparation of Students” is aimed at ensuring the effective acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities presented in the educational material.

During the study of basic Combat Horting techniques, students do not perform exercises in pairs. However, health-improving and strengthening exercises may be performed in pairs. Certain motor skills are developed through health-oriented formal exercise complexes and effective breathing exercises.

The educational material of the module is adapted for students with different levels of physical preparedness. It has a general educational rather than competitive sports orientation and includes the basic elements of Combat Horting technique:

• development of proper posture;
• improvement of speed, agility, and movement coordination;
• learning specialized preparatory Combat Horting exercises;
• mastering basic stances and techniques;
• learning movement methods in combat stances;
• performing introductory Combat Horting forms (training complexes);
• learning rules of behavior in the gym;
• mastering the Rules of Sports Etiquette according to the requirements of the National Combat Horting Federation of Ukraine;
• learning breathing exercises;
• performing health-improving exercises;
• mastering personal hygiene rules.

During the teaching of Combat Horting techniques, each lesson should include general and special physical preparation exercises, such as:

• acceleration exercises from various starting positions;
• running with changes in speed and direction according to signals;
• multiple repetitions of basic health-oriented Combat Horting movements performed individually, both in place and while moving;
• performance of educational Combat Horting forms (formal complexes), including jumping upward from a squat position and rising from a squat into a combat stance with straight-leg swings.

The teacher should follow a consistent methodology for learning preparatory and health-oriented elements of basic Combat Horting techniques by using progressive preparatory exercises.

Combat Horting classes should be conducted by a teacher who has appropriate professional training and qualifications.

To prevent injuries, each lesson should include:

• inspection of the training area;
• compliance with methodological requirements for teaching specialized health-improving Combat Horting exercises;
• application of developmental exercises for mastering basic technical elements;
• supervision of students’ proper movement within the Hort (training area).

During Combat Horting lessons, the teacher should apply a student-centered and differentiated approach, taking into account individual characteristics, physical development, abilities, and needs of students.

Teaching Methods

The following groups of teaching methods are used in grades 5–9:

Visual Methods

• demonstration of exercises;
• presentation of exercises using diagrams, models, screens, and other visual materials.

Verbal Methods

• explanation;
• instruction;
• comments;
• discussion;
• persuasion;
• educational conversations.

Practical Methods

• exercise methods and their variations;
• initial learning of technical actions as a whole or by separate components;
• repeated practice methods, including:
  • variable practice;
  • interval training;
  • game-based methods;
  • competitive methods.

Throughout the entire educational and health-improving process, the teacher should regularly conduct educational activities and discussions with students, emphasizing that Combat Horting is based on the cultural traditions of the Ukrainian people.

After completing the module during each academic year, students complete assessment tests (educational performance standards) to evaluate the quality of mastering specialized exercises and health-oriented Combat Horting techniques.

Within the established performance level, students receive an average or higher grade. During assessment testing, the execution of each technical element is evaluated individually for every student.

Note. The age period of 9th-grade students is the most favorable for the development of:

• endurance (boys),
• flexibility (girls),
• moderate development of strength (boys),
• speed-strength qualities (girls).

Technical and Tactical Preparation

Movement:

• combination of movement methods with basic technical movements of combat horting;
• high-speed movements;
• movements with rotations and visual control of the surrounding space.

Health-Oriented Breathing Exercises:

• abdominal breathing;
• breathing with diaphragm elevation;
• alternating tempo breathing:
  • slow inhalation – fast exhalation,
  • fast inhalation – slow exhalation;
• health-oriented breathing exercises while standing still and moving in a stance;
• fast exhalation;
• preparatory exercises for strengthening technical elements through fast exhalation.

Arm Exercises:

• imitation exercises and forearm strikes to the middle and upper levels (forward, sideways);
• swings and releases of the arms from below and from the side (relaxed and tense);
• circular swings with both arms (forward, backward) while standing and moving;
• performing series of health-oriented combat horting technical elements.

Leg Exercises:

• imitation exercises;
• swinging exercises;
• slow and fast high knee raises:
  • straight,
  • sideways,
    with slow health-oriented and fast exhalation;
• foot thrusts:
  • forward-sideways,
  • backward;
• performing series of imitation exercises of leg techniques.

Torso Exercises:

• torso rotations while standing and moving;
• bends and evasive movements:
  • left,
  • right;
• diving movements with a slight squat on the legs;
• imitation of turning the back toward a partner:
  • simple,
  • with placing the leg;
• torso actions during amplitude exercises.

Combinations of Arm and Leg Actions:

• uniform performance of learned techniques by elements;
• coordinated execution under counting and for time:
  • 2 minutes,
  • 4 minutes,
  • 6 minutes.

Learning and Demonstration of Forms (Health-Oriented Basic Complexes):

Form “Third Defensive Form” /3-d/ – “Third Defensive Form” /3-d/, performed under counting and independently.
