culture, consolidating the habit of moving rhythmically,
gracefully, and beautifully. Mastering new, more and more
complex movements with musical accompaniment, children
strive to measure them in time and space, to subordinate them
to rhythmic drawing, requirements of plasticity and external
expressiveness [14, 15]. Despite a number of studies devoted to
improving the process of physical education of preschool
children, there are not enough practical developments and
methodological recommendations for the use of step-aerobics
in kindergartens [16 – 19]. In this regard, we consider the
problem of revealing the methodological peculiarities of the use
of steppe-aerobics in the process of physical education in
preschool children, which would contribute to the preservation
and promotion of health, the formation of those engaged in the
need for systematic physical exercises.
functions into new indivisible functional systems, dependent to
a large extent on the maturing of the central nervous system.
Psychological adaptation of children with mental development
delay is a problem the urgency of which is caused today by
traditional demands of psychological and pedagogical, clinical
and social practice and certain transformation of ideas about the
psychogenetic essence of the given status, criteria of
diagnostics, principles of the organization, character and
volume of specialized aid [23 – 27]. In the context of the
medical approach, mental disorders are considered as a
syndrome of immaturity of mental or psychomotor functions
and as
a
manifestation of delayed maturation of
morphofunctional brain systems under the influence of some or
other adverse factors [28-30].

took part during 2 years: for children with mental development
delay (mental disorders) and speech disorders from 5 to 7 years
old, who have such accompanying diseases as acute
neurological syndrome, small brain activity (MMD),
encephalopathy, scoliotic posture. During the experiment,
steppe-aerobics classes were organized in a combined group
and took the form of full health-improving and training
sessions, lasting 30 minutes in the afternoon. A significant
difference in the content and organization of stepping-aerobics
classes for children with disabilities was the methods used to
teach basic stepping-aerobics techniques and exercises aimed
at developing physical qualities. Classes with children with
disabilities began with games of low mobility, aimed at
increasing attention, building and restructuring. In the main part
of the lesson, a new element was taught, if a child is not
confident in himself or herself, performs the exercise with
mistakes, and "running on the move" is applied. As a result of
the introduction of step aerobics classes into the process of
physical education, at the end of the experiment a significant
increase in the indicators of physical development and physical
fitness of preschool children with mental disorders was
identified. Moreover, the growth rates for all indicators show
that the increase in physical development was due to the
effective use of natural forces and physical exercise, and not
only due to the natural growth of children. So, length of
children of a body at the beginning of research has made
The methodological basis of the study was the concept of
personality-based approach, as well as the main provisions of
the theory and methodology of physical education of preschool
children and the theory and organization of adaptive physical
education. Initially, the problem of mental development delay
in domestic studies was justified by clinicians. The term
"mental development delay" was suggested by G.E. Sukhareva
[20]. The investigated phenomenon is characterized, first of all,
by the slowed rate of mental development, personal immaturity,
noncoarse disorders of cognitive activity, by structure and
quantitative indexes differing from oligophrenia, with a
tendency to compensation and backward development. On this
basis, G.E. Sukhareva [20] identified six types of states, which
should be separated from the notion of "oligophrenia":
1
) intellectual disturbances observed in children with a slow (or
delayed) pace of development due to unfavorable
environmental and educational conditions;
) intellectual disorders in prolonged asthenic conditions due to
somatic diseases;
) disorders of intellectual activity in various forms of
infantilism;
) secondary intellectual disability due to hearing, vision,
speech, reading and writing impairment;

differences between the results in the dynamics at the beginning
and at the end of the experiment in indicators of hand
dynamometry. The indicator of the right hand was 4.27±0.2 kg
at the beginning of the experiment and 4.78±0.11 kg at the end

In clinical and psychological structure of each of the listed
variants of mental development delay there is a specific
combination of immaturity of emotional and intellectual
spheres. In special researches the concept of mental infantilism
is used, which is understood as a variant of the detained
development, which is shown in the unsuitable age of
immaturity of the physical and mental status, not accompanied
by gross violation of intelligence. Most of the work is aimed at
studying various symptomatic pictures found in children with
brain disorders. This is a category of children with a wide range
of different psychopathological syndromes that lead to mental
retardation [21, 22]. This includes children with lesions of the
central nervous system (CNS) (specific or diffuse), speech
disorders, learning difficulties, perceptual disorders,
hyperkinesia. In addition, this group includes children who do
not have any neurophysiological disorders, but who
nevertheless exhibit the same psychological symptoms as
children with CNS impairment.

Reliable differences have also been found in respiratory and
cardiovascular system function indicators - lung capacity,
blood pressure and hearth rate. Lung capacity at the beginning
of the experiment was 811.2±21.1 ml, at the end of the
experiment - 880.4±5.7 ml, the differences are reliable. Growth
rate was 13.9%. Hearth rate in children at the beginning of the
experiment was 83.15±1.3 beats per minute, at the end of the
experiment - 80.2±0.02 beats per minute, p<0.05, the difference
is reliable. The growth rate was 13.9%.

mental development, the psyche began to be considered as a
