Abstract

This article is devoted to the problem of improving the rehabilitation system for schoolchildren on the base of different kinds of holiday homes. The important part of this work was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of some modern recreational measures which were applied for children under the conditions of holiday homes located in western regions of the Ukraine. One of the tasks of this study was to compare the level of efficiency of modern recreational and wellness programs in their application in holiday homes, located in western regions of Ukraine and in places of permanent residence of children. During the execution of this study the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific literature; questionnaire survey on health, activity and mood; pedagogical observation; functional tests and methods of mathematical statistics. The results of scientific investigation which was conducted in the Ukraine show that the provision of some modern recreational programs under the conditions of holiday homes has a significant positive influence on physical and emotional state of schoolchildren. It has been found that the application of special recreational programs in holiday homes promotes the improvement of physical and emotional state of schoolchildren. In addition, during this investigation it was established that the effectiveness of modern recreational programs was higher when their implementation was carried out under the conditions of the holiday homes which were located in the western regions of the Ukraine. Thus the results of the study support the idea that the application of recreational programs in terms of holiday homes has a positive effect on physical and emotional condition of children and adolescents of school age. It has been proved that the maximum possible effect of the implementation of modern recreational programs for schoolchildren can be obtained in the holiday homes, which are located in the natural recreational areas in western regions of the Ukraine.
