ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' HEALTH INDICATORS IN THE COURSE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES WITH A SPORTS FOCUS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To conduct a comparative analysis of the health indicators of students who were engaged in various types of sports during physical education classes (using the example of power sports). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was conducted in 2019-2021 when the male students (n=96) were studying at the 1st and 2nd years in Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture. We examined the health indicators of 17-19-year-old students, who were engaged in various power sports: powerlifting, kettlebell lifting, armsport and CrossFit. Students' health was assessed by indicators of body weight, cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems. RESULTS: Results: It was found that during the study period, the most pronounced changes in the activity of the cardiovascular (Robinson's index) and respiratory systems (vital index) were found among students who were engaged in CrossFit and kettlebell lifting. In the indicators that characterize the muscular system (power index), the greatest increase was found among students who were engaged in powerlifting and armsport. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It has been revealed that classes in any power sport positively affect the improvement of certain indicators of students' health, which, in general, will positively contribute to mastering the skills and abilities to independently use the means of physical culture and sports in everyday life to maintain high performance both during academic and future professional activities.

ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' SOMATIC HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL STATE DURING SPORTS GAMES CLASSES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Is to investigate the impact of sports games (football) on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students in the process of studying. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study was conducted at Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture and Sumy State University (Ukraine) in 2018-2019. The study involved 87 male students of the main department. Two groups were formed: an experimental group (EG, n=42), the students of which were engaged in a sports-oriented form of physical education (in the class of football), and a control group (CG, n=45), the students of which were training according to the traditional methods of organizing physical education classes at higher education institutions. The somatic health of students was assessed according to the method of H. L. Apanasenko, which provided for the determination of body mass, life, power, and Robinson indexes, heart rate recovery time after a standard exercise. The emotional state of students was determined by the WAM (Well-being, Activity, Mood) methodology. RESULTS: Results: At the end of the study, the EG students showed a significantly better level of somatic health than the CG students; the difference was significant and accounted for 3.18 points (p<0.001). At the same time, during the study, the EG students had a more pronounced significant increase in all studied health indicators (p<0.001). The best emotional state level of the students of both groups was recorded at the end of the study, but in the EG students it was significantly (p<0.05) better than in the CG students by 0.55-0.73 points. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was found that sports games classes, including football, had a positive effect on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students. Significant changes were observed in the performance of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of students. The high level of somatic health and good emotional state of students will help to improve mastering academic disciplines at higher education institutions, provide preparation for active life and help to improve future professional activities.
