Abstract

At present, both from the point of view of individual sciences and, above all, from the point of view of the emerging interdisciplinary approaches, the problems of the correlation between the physical and the mental in human development are a very relevant area of scientific research. Each science in the interdisciplinary approach has its own traditions, methods and research methodology, the use of which largely depends on the particular scientist and the scientific school he or she has passed through. The problem of sports training of disabled people touches a powerful layer of anthropological problems, ranging from anthropometry to social, cultural and philosophical anthropology, aimed at understanding the nature and essence of man. Within the problem field of cultural anthropology at the intersection with cognitive science, the problems of cognitive anthropology are considered. Modern cognitive science insists on the inclusion of an inner plan, a plan of mental intentions, in order to understand the essence of any kind of human activity. In sport, the inseparability of mental and physiological, mental and physical, feeling and action is an indispensable condition of this kind of human practice. A special role is played by sport for the disabled. The article deals with the methods of assessing the level of physical development of persons with lesions of the locomotor system who are engaged in powerlifting. The positive influence of powerlifting on the physical condition of athletes of this category is proven, which leads to a more stable mental state and greater psychological well-being.
