796.912 METHODS OF TEACHING ROTATION TO SKATER .S. Ivanova, T.V. Zayachuk, V.I. Volchkova Volga Region State Academy of Physical Culture, Sport and tourism, Kazan, Russia To contact the authors E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article describes a study conducted at Kazan figure skating school to develop methods of teaching rotations to young skaters. The method consists of teaching rotations on spinner, the study of the theoretical aspects of figure skating spins, figure skaters’ learning the basics of refereeing of rotational elements, a method of sound leading, improvement of spins technique. Key words: figure skating, rotation, methods. МЕТОДИКА ОБУЧЕНИЯ ФИГУРИСТОВ ВРАЩЕНИЯМ К.С. Иванова, Т.В. Заячук, В.И. Волчкова ФГБОУ ВО Поволжская государственная академия физической культуры, спорта и туризма, Казань, Россия Аннотация: В данной статье представлена методика обучения юных фигуристов вращениям. Методика заключа- ется в обучении вращениям на спинере, изучении фигуристами теоретических аспектов вращений и основ судейства вращательных элементов, использовании метода звуколидирования, совершен- ствовании техники исполнения вращений. Ключевые слова: фигурное катание, вращения, методика. INTRODUCTION sport of coordination possibilities and vestibular Figure skating is a hard-house sport (N.V. Ko- stability (H. Valgma, 1972; Y.
