Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of physical fitness and the development of physical qualities in middle and high school students who have foot deformities in the form of flatfoot.
Research methods and organization. An online survey was conducted among students in grades 5-11 who had been diagnosed with foot deformities in the form of flatfoot, as well as among students in grades 5-11 who had not received such a diagnosis. To assess the levels of development of physical qualities (PQ), respondents evaluated their level of strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, and coordination on three levels: low, medium, high, as well as their overall level of physical fitness (PF).
Research results and conclusions. It has been established that students with flatfoot more frequently exhibited a low level of development in all assessed physical qualities, as well as physical fitness, compared to students with a normal foot arch. The obtained data can be utilized by physical education teachers to justify a differentiated approach to organizing physical education aimed at developing physical qualities in middle and high school students, taking into account the condition of their feet.
