Physical condition of students in distance learning conditions

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of physical activity among students of higher education in the conditions of distance education. Recently, many scientists have observed a decrease in the level of physical health, physical fitness, an increase in the incidence of student youth, a decrease in the level of physical activity. S. Kuznetsa. Scientific achievements on the research problem of various authors are analyzed and summarized. It has been proven that the specified problem in the period of distance learning is insufficiently studied and requires further scientific research. The methods (methodology) of assessing some indicators of physical condition, which are necessary and correct for solving research tasks, have been defined and analyzed. It has been proven that these are: Quetelet index (determination of body mass index); Rufier's test (determination of indicators of the functional state of the cardiovascular system), SAN (determination of operative functional state). According to the results of the application of mathematical methods in the confirmatory experimental study, it was established that the height and weight indicators of the majority of students are within the norm, no significant differences in the indicators between boys and girls were found; based on the results of determining the indicators of the functional state of the cardiovascular system, it was established that 18,27 % of students have heart failure, which may indicate a number of reasons of various origins, including a lack of general and special motor activity; according to the results of determining the operational functional state of students, it was established that it is within the norm. We also consider it necessary for students to acquire the competence of self-diagnosis of the functional state.
