Nowadays, sport gives more consistent results than in the past. Therefore, it is important to use sports achievements in physical education of pupils and students in order to increase physical potential of the mankind. The research aims to theoretically justify and experimentally verify a pedagogical technology of training future teachers to organize school sport. Physical training can be considered effective if a relevant technology has been introduced. This technology should consist of the following pedagogical conditions: applying sports and physical education; conducting workshops (practice-oriented training); strengthening joint efforts of subject lecturers; organizing active forms of research activities; conducting systematic monitoring and evaluation; providing lecturers and students with educational and methodological literature. Methods: pedagogical observation, modelling, interviewing, diagnostic interviews, questionnaires, expert evaluation; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Three experimental groups (56, 30, 27 respondents) and three control groups (55, 30, 29 respondents) were formed. The overall results obtained from control and experimental groups during the formative experiment show positive dynamics of changes in experimental groups. The formulated conclusions verify the research hypothesis that the proposed technology can significantly increase readiness of future teachers to organize school sport provided it has been introduced into practical activities of higher education institutions.

The article justifies the use of a differentiated approach in the physical education of 10-year-old children with visual impairments and postural impairment to improve their physical condition. The differentiated approach in our study meant the division of children with visual impairments into relatively homogeneous subgroups according to similar secondary abnormalities in health. The purpose of the study is to develop and experimentally test a differentiated program of improving the physical condition of 10-year-old children with visual impairments in the process of physical education. The transformation experiment involved 28 children both with visual impairments (14 boys and 14 girls) and with scoliotic posture or round back. Research methods: theoretical analysis, systematization and generalization of scientific literature, Internet resources, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. The disharmony in the development of primary school aged children with visual impairments has a reflection in a lower level of their physical condition (p < 0.05). Postural impairment negatively affects the development of physical characteristics of 10-year-old children with visual impairments. As a result of the implementation of the differentiated program for enhancing the level of physical condition of 10-year-old children with visual impairments and either scoliotic posture or round back, there were positive changes in the indicators of physical qualities such as endurance, flexibility at the level of significance p < 0,05 and vertical stability of the body at significance levels of p < 0.05 and p < 0.01.The data obtained before and after the transformative experiment indicate that the use of the differentiated program of increasing the level of physical condition in the process of physical education of 10-year-old children with visual impairments and different types of impaired posture contributed to ensuring the positive dynamics in the average figures growth in all the studied parameters of children of both groups. The differentiated program is developed, implemented, and successfully tested during the transformation experiment: its effectiveness is proved by quantitative changes at the level of p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 of the studied fitness indicators.
