Adaptation of Young People in Conditions of Self-Isolation in COVID-19 in the Perspectives of Educational Technologies and Sport Spirituality

Abstract

The chapter examines the problems of Russian youth adaptation in the conditions of self-isolation under COVID-19: educational technologies, psychological and physical health, the experience of the traditional confession. The authors surveyed Don State Technical University to prove that the student youth have a number of problems caused by self-isolation as well as to specify what methods can be applied to overcome COVID-caused challenges. Sports spirituality can provide a solid foundation for all health factors and purposefully contribute to the adaptation to post-COVID social reality. The practical case of the health group in Armavir shows how sports spirituality worked out within the Orthodox Church can be put into practice. Practices of sports spirituality were implemented by the health group in Armavir. They include walking technique and forms of physical activity as health-improving functions, strengthening the body capabilities, breathing exercises, support and interpersonal communication in a thematic conversation in WhatsApp.
