However, it is emphasized that there is no effective and transparent system for selecting (recruiting) talented young athletes in volleyball. This lack of a structured selection process prevents the formation of a strong sports reserve and the preparation of high-level athletes for national teams. Identifying the key physical qualities of volleyball players and studying their development during their athletic progression is of scientific interest.</p> <p>This article explores the development of specific physical qualities in skilled volleyball players across different playing positions. It also highlights innovative approaches to training that integrate physical culture, physical education, health improvement, physical development, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle to foster well-rounded, physically and morally developed individuals.</p> Abdinaim Xudoynazarovich Jo‘rayev Copyright (c) 2025 Abdinaim Xudoynazarovich Jo‘rayev https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-03-25 2025-03-25 6 02 34 40 10.37547/mesmj-V6-I2-05 SPECIFIC FEATURES OF ORGANIZING THE TRAINING OF PARA SWIMMERS AT THE EDUCATIONAL-TRAINING STAGE https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/810 <p>The article provides a detailed analysis of the training process for para swimmers in the C-9 and C-10 categories, who are training at the educational-training stage, and the results of implementing exercises in the training process aimed at improving their sports performance.</p> Ismakhmud Alievich Baymuratov Copyright (c) 2025 Ismakhmud Alievich Baymuratov https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-03-25 2025-03-25 6 02 19 25 10.37547/mesmj-V6-I2-03 CONTENT OF SPECIAL PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED SHORT-DISTANCE RUNNERS https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/808 <p>The article examines ways to improve the efficiency and optimize the training process of highly qualified runners in short-distance running.

Realization of the semantic structure of the concept in the language is studied with the help of semantic and other fields, especially the paremosemantic field. This process reveals the national-cultural character of the universal concept.</p> Dilnavoz Jumanova Copyright (c) 2025 Dilnavoz Jumanova https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-03-25 2025-03-25 6 02 41 50 10.37547/mesmj-V6-I2-06 HOW ELECTRONIC PORTFOLIOS ENABLE TEACHERS TO DEVELOP PROFESSIONALLY https://mentaljournal-jspu.uz/index.php/mesmj/article/view/811 <p>This work explains the importance of using e-portfolios in the continuing professional development of the secondary school English teachers in Uzbekistan. Last years, fundamentally modern approaches have been introduced to the continuous professional development system of our country. Electronic portfolios suggested to be used as a data collection tool, self-assessment, reflection, and journey of learning to reflect. A survey on implementing the usage of the electronic portfolios in the ongoing professional development of teachers will be discussed in detail. Also, it provides some suggestions for finding solutions for those challenges through creating e-portfolios by using Google Sites and Padlet.com. Some works of secondary school teachers created by Google Sites and Padlet.com will be shared.</p> Saodat Yulbarsovna Erkaboyeva Copyright (c) 2025 Saodat Yulbarsovna Erkaboyeva https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-03-25 2025-03-25 6 02 26 33 10.37547/mesmj-V6-I2-04
