The article substantiates the experimental program of the formation of future physical culture teachers' readiness for professional activity at school. The level of the students' motivation for physical and health care activities was found out; the level of physical fitness of students was examined; the levels of activity component formation of the students were determined. The investigation was conducted in Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in 2016-2018. 364 students of the faculty of physical education took part in the investigation. The students were tested through the next exercises: for male students-100-m race, pull-ups, 3000-m race; for female students-100-m race, push-ups, 2000-m race. Research methods: conceptual and comparative analysis, structural and systematic analysis, synthesis, generalization, testing, questionnaire survey, observation, experiment, statistical analysis. At the end of the experiment, the level of physical qualities was found to be significantly better (p˂0.001) among the students of EG, in comparison to CG. It is determined that the number of the students of EG who have a high level of the activity component of the future physical culture teachers' readiness is increased at the end of the experiment comparing to CG, that proves the efficiency of the experimental program.

Introduction: The level of health and physical fitness of the students of Ukrainian higher educational institutions has worsened in recent years. It conditions the search for effective solutions to this problem and determines the significance of the investigation. The aim: To investigate the level of physical development and functional state of the students of agricultural educational institutions during study. Materials and methods: The investigation was conducted in Zhytomyr National Agroecological University in 2016–2018. Seventy three students (38 male and 35 female students) took part in the investigation. The level of physical development and functional state of students was defined according to the next tests: body length, body weight, wrist dynamometry, lung capacity, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The level of students’ physical health was examined according to the methodology by G. L. Apanasenko and determined the interrelation of the levels of physical health of the students of different genders during the investigation. Results: It is determined that the majority of the students’ investigated indicators are not improved during the first and the second years of study (p>0.05). The level of the students’ physical health remained unchanged during study. Moreover, the health level of both male and female students is rated as low during all stages of the investigation. Сonclusions: The conducted analysis proves the necessity of the current physical education system improvement at Ukrainian higher educational institutions in order to improve the students’ physical development and functional state, health and efficiency of the educational and future professional activity.

The level and dynamics of students' physical health during the 1 st and the 2 nd years of studying at a Ukrainian higher educational institution are investigated in this article, and the interrelation between the indicators of students' health and physical fitness is defined. Seventy-three students of Zhytomyr National Agroecological University (38 male and 35 female students) took part in the investigation. The level of the students' physical health was evaluated according to the methodology of Professor Apanasenko based on the anthropometry indicators (body weight and lengths, lung capacity, wrist power) and the state of the cardiovascular system (heart rate, blood pressure, heart rate recovery). It has been determined that the physical health level of both male and female students did not improve during the 1 st and the 2 nd years of studying; more than 80% of the students (both men and women) have below middle and low levels of health; the overall points are measured by 2.31-3.27 points. It indicates the lack of the efficiency of the current system of physical education at Ukrainian higher educational institutions and the necessity of the search for the means of its improvement. The correlation analysis defined an authentic interrelation (p<0.05) between the students' physical fitness level and the indicators of their health. Most of the authentic correlation connections are defined due to the results in the endurance and power exercises.

The aim is to investigate the influence of sambo wrestling classes on the level of morpho-functional development and health of students during their studying. Materials and methods: The investigation was conducted in Zhytomyr National Agroecological University in 2017–2019. Ninety four students (51 male and 43 female) took part in the research. Two experimental and two control groups were formed: EG1 (n=25) and CG1 (n=26) involved male students, EG2 (n=21) and CG2 (n=22) – female students. The classes of EG were held according to the authors’ methodology, the classes of CG – according to the current physical education program. The analysis of the indicators of weight, height, lungs capacity, handgrip test, heart rate, blood pressure, body mass index, life index, power index and Robinson’s index was performed. The interrelation of students of EG and CG was defined according to the health levels at the beginning and at the end of the investigation. Results: It is determined that sambo wrestling classes had a positive influence on the students’ muscles system improvement, increased lung capacity, reduced body mass, improved cardiovascular system, and improved health. Сonclusions: The improvement of the indicators of morpho-functional development and health of students during sambo wrestling classes will have a positive influence on their physical working capacity and the efficiency of their studying and future professional activities.

El artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación de la dinámica del estado psicoemocional y las características psicológicas individuales de los estudiantes durante la educación física. 60 estudiantes participan en la investigación. El nivel de extraversión, la estabilidad emocional y el tipo de temperamento se determinaron de acuerdo con la metodología de H. Eysenck. La evaluación del bienestar, la actividad y el estado de ánimo se realizó mediante la prueba WAM. La diferenciación de las clases de educación física, aplicando ejercicios físicos de acuerdo con el temperamento de los estudiantes, está determinada a influir positivamente en su estado emocional y sus características psicológicas individuales. Los estudiantes de los grupos experimentales definen tener mejores indicadores de bienestar, actividad, estado de ánimo, extraversión e introversión, y neuroticismo que los estudiantes de los grupos de control al final del experimento.
