“…The modern model of the educational process defines a socially significant life strategy for the consistent formation of the health culture of students of pedagogical institutions of higher education i.e. future teachers as a necessary condition for the development of positive motivation of high schoolers and students for a healthy lifestyle [1][2][3]. Regular motor loads have a positive effect upon the level of a person's functional capabilities, increase emotional stability, reduce morbidity, ensure the acceleration of the warming-up process, contribute to the long-term preservation of the optimal pace, speed and efficiency of work movements [4][5][6].…”

Aim: To investigate the impact of training sessions on the ground of health-promoting technologies upon students’ physical development in higher educational institutions. Materials and Methods: A group of 50 female students aged 17 to 22 was under our observation for a year. All of them were divided into the experimental (E) and the control (C) groups. The E group female students (n=25) were regularly involved in training sessions using health-promoting technologies, the C group female students (n=25) did not take part in this type of activities. Results: The positive impact of training sessions based on health-promoting technologies upon the physical development of the E group students was revealed. A significantly better level of strength and flexibility development was noted in the E group students, compared to the C one. A statistically significant difference was found after the experiment in the E group students’ indicators of static balance, vestibular stability, accuracy of assessment of strength, time and spatial parameters of movements. Conclusions: A rationally constructed system of training sessions based on health-promoting technologies stimulates biological processes, supports the functioning of both individual organs and the students’ body as a whole. This will contribute to strengthening students’ health, increasing their motor activities, improving the efficiency of both learning and future professional activities.
