Sections: Sports at school and children's health
Among the various means that increase the physical and volitional preparedness of young men studying at the Novgorod Chemical-Industrial College, weight-bearing exercises deserve special attention. In my work, I use gymnastic benches as weights for general physical training in the classroom. The main difference between these exercises and others is that the guys perform them in groups, which contributes to the development of a sense of collectivism and helping comrades. Exercises with a gymnastic bench allow you to influence various muscle groups: arms, shoulder girdle, abdomen, back, legs, etc. They improve mobility in the joints, flexibility of the spine. Weighty arguments in favor of these exercises are their accessibility, emotionality, the need to act cohesively, in concert, which, of course, helps to improve discipline in the classroom. The use of exercises with a gymnastic bench has its own specifics - they are performed only in a frontal way. Those involved are divided into groups of 4-6 people, and it is necessary that in each group there are guys of approximately the same height and the same physical fitness. The distance between groups should be safe for simultaneous exercise. Additional insurance during the exercises is carried out by assistants. Before performing each exercise, I always explain the features of collective action in it and warn about the consequences of neglecting safety rules. In the course of performing a series of exercises, I follow the basic didactic principles: go from simple to complex, alternate the work of some muscle groups with the rest of others. I do not strive for too much density of classes, after several exercises with weights, I give the guys breathing exercises and relaxation. Before these exercises, a warm-up is always carried out in order to prepare the body for working with weights. Sometimes, for senior students, I give these exercises specifically against the background of fatigue - for the development of strong-willed qualities.

Gymnastic benches are used to equip gyms, mainly in schools. Their construction is reinforced, they are designed to withstand the weight of many children, as well as for exercises, both on the bench and with the bench. The height of the bench is 40 - 60 centimeters, it is enough for a child to crawl under it, so this projectile can be used in relay races. A bench can be both bought and made in a furniture or even in a school workshop. It is used for warming up, in general physical training, so the scope is wide - volleyball, basketball, athletics and other sports.
For legs
For hands
Hand exercises:
together
Exercises with two participants:
Group exercise with a bench in hand
The following exercises are designed for several students, from 7 to 10 people. The gymnastic bench acts as a power projectile, which must be held together in hands.
Competition
Classes are not only exercises, but also competitions that are held in the form of relay races, when two benches are set up and team members take turns to complete the game exercise as best as possible and as quickly as possible:
Doing exercises with a bench, children not only develop, but also have an interesting time. It is only necessary to take into account that this sports furniture is heavy and angular, therefore, when hitting it and falling on a student from a height, serious injuries are possible.

Introduction
General developmental exercises using a gymnastic bench have long been widely used in physical education, physiotherapy exercises and sports.
The use of exercises with a gymnastic bench contributes to the development of the body, the upbringing of courage, organization of those involved, and develop physical abilities. These exercises help the formation of applied skills that can be successfully used in extreme situations.
Many years of experience in teaching practice shows the high efficiency of educating the physical abilities of students using available sports equipment and equipment. Due to their availability, these exercises do not require special training, they are equally well suited for students with different levels of development of physical abilities. Most general developmental exercises are well combined with each other, which gives the teacher ample opportunities for planning training sessions of various directions.
General developmental exercises on the gymnastic bench can be used both in the preparatory and in the main part of the training session. A wide range of exercises allows you to create a variety of training programs, and the use of musical accompaniment improves the overall emotional background of the lesson, creates a cheerful mood, which generally increases students' interest in physical education classes.
The presented set of exercises on the gymnastic bench is focused on the implementation of modern pedagogical technologies of developing and differentiated training and is aimed at developing strength, endurance and coordination of movements among those involved.
The proposed teaching aid can be used both for the organization of classroom and extracurricular forms of classes, it is focused on teachers of physical culture in schools, colleges and other educational institutions. The purpose of this manual is to increase the level of physical fitness of students, increase interest in physical education, as well as replenish the methodological baggage of physical education teachers.

Methodological features of conducting outdoor switchgear
On the gym wall
The methodological features of the exercises on the gymnastic wall are such that they allow solving the problems of all parts of the lesson, accurately fixing the initial and final positions of the body and its individual links, and, consequently, dosing the load in accordance with the individual capabilities of those involved. Exercises can be performed in simple and mixed hangs, in mixed stops individually and with a partner. In addition, additional hand support against the wall makes it easier to perform a number of exercises (balance, squatting), which is important when practicing with beginners. When performing flexibility exercises (by older people), the pace of movements should be slow; the main attention should be paid to the correct execution of the exercises.
Exercises on the gymnastic wall are used in the form of complexes in which exercises in the hangs alternate with exercises in the emphasis and mixed hangs to give rest to the muscles of the hands and avoid injuries. Exercises involving large muscle groups should be done at a slow pace for complete contraction and relaxation.
In the record of the starting positions on the gymnastic wall, the position relative to it and the features of the grip are indicated. In the name "gymnastic wall" the word "gymnastic" is omitted.
Obviously, there is not a single sports hall in the school that does not have gymnastic benches. In case of absence, they are easy to make in the school workshop, varying the height from 40 to 60 cm.
The proposed exercises on gymnastic benches are simple and accessible in organizing classes on them, the equipment is always at hand and, which is important at the present stage of training, they are almost not traumatic. Exercises on gymnastic benches are easy to do, accessible, as preparatory exercises they are indispensable in solving problems of general physical fitness: athletics, volleyball, basketball and other sports. Exercises on gymnastic benches are available for any contingent of those involved, only the height, the number of exercises, and the duration of the execution time vary.
The advantage of exercises on gymnastic benches is that these are dynamic exercises that allow you to involve the whole class in the work using a group or stream method, or a significant group of students. The exercises fit well into the circuit training method. Not the last place, with a skillful approach, is occupied by exercises on gymnastic benches and with children who have deviations in health and posture.
By varying the pace, methods, dosage, selecting exercises, they can be used in any lesson, in any workout.
The exercises below are not the only possible ones. It's just that these are the exercises that I had to use in the training process and not without success. I will be very glad if my experience (45 years of teaching experience) will help in organizing and conducting the educational and training process, especially for beginner enthusiastic teachers.
Complex 1
1. Jumping on one, two legs (can be done for a while - 20 sec., 30 sec., 45 sec.).

Martial arts on the gymnastic bench
1. Partners face each other. It is necessary to push or unbalance the partner. The player or team left on the bench wins.
2. a) Partners sit facing each other, astride a gymnastic bench, holding hands on the edges and resting their feet. It is necessary to bring the partner out of balance. b) The same from the emphasis on the forearms, sitting with their backs to each other.
relay races
1. a) Jumping over one, two, three benches installed in parallel, running a segment up to 15 m. b) Running along benches installed in length.
2. "Crossing": the whole team, on a signal, runs over the guides along one or two benches set in length. The winner is the team whose players will quickly find themselves on the other side of the "chasm" without losing a single player.
3. Two benches are installed back to back along the length. A team of 7-9 people runs over the first one, stops at the second one and pulls the first one forward without stepping on the floor. Then he pulls the second and so on until the end of the distance.
4. Crawling under the bench. The bench is non-standard, height 50–60 cm.
With a creative approach, many of the exercises described above can be included in the relay races with a gymnastic bench.
It is best to start learning exercises on the gymnastic bench in elementary school, increasing in difficulty as you get older. In elementary school, children are more receptive and remember for a long time.
