Purpose: To justify theoretically the model for the health culture of a student's personality with the system of criteria and indicators. To examine the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university and their influence on the health culture of master's students. Material: Complex of psychodiagnostic techniques and medical methods for determining the level of the health culture of a student's personality was used in the research. Respondents were 20 groups of master's students: 15 experimental groups in which the groups (Е 1-10 ) were under the big influence of active factors, (Е 11-15 ) under less influence, and also 5 control groups (С 1-5 ), who studied by traditional programs. The total number of studied master's students was 288 people. The research was conducted at the National Academy of National Guard of Ukraine in 2013-2018. Results: The regularity of interrelations between the degree of active influence research factors on students and the level of their health culture was revealed. In the experimental groups Е 1-10 higher indices were revealed than in the Е 11-15 groups, in contrast to the С 1-5 control group, in which no significant deviations were observed. The evaluation of the results was calculated by Pearson's criterion χ 2 for statistical significance (p≤0.05).Conclusions: Using the model for the health culture of personality with specific criteria and indicators allowed studying the influence of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university on the level of the health culture of master's students. Regularities were established: 1) the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work in the conditions of higher education positively influences on the formation of the health culture of master's students; 2) the level of a personality's health culture depends on the degree of active influence factors on it.

“…Además, el alto riesgo de sesgo de muchos estudios y la falta de información sobre los componentes de la intervención limitan la solidez de las conclusiones sobre evidencia de efectividad, destacando la necesidad de más estudios de alta calidad. Por lo tanto, se deben intensificar los esfuerzos en el desarrollo de intervenciones en este grupo específico (23,55).…”

“…Si bien existen revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura sobre la AF en estudiantes universitarios, estas presentan limitaciones importantes observadas y otras declaradas por los autores. Algunas han revisado sólo una base de datos (22), otras han incluido exclusivamente investigaciones escritas en idioma inglés sesgando la perspectiva sociocultural (regiones geográficas) (23), y otras han perdido vigencia por el perído de búsqueda de la muestra de artículos incluidos (23,24). El presente estudio considera las limitaciones de estas investigaciones y optimiza el proceso de búsqueda recolectando la literatura más reciente e integrando la producción en tres idiomas.…”

La presente investigación tiene dos objetivos: (1) describir las investigaciones empíricas desarrolladas sobre la actividad física en estudiantes universitarios y (2) especificar limitaciones y orientaciones señaladas en los estudios sobre actividad física en estudiantes universitarios. El método desarrollado fue una Revisión Sistemática de las bases de datos Web of Science (WOS) y Scielo en el período de tiempo 2013 a 2018. Los resultados del primer objetivo son descripción de los estudios respecto del país, diseño, muestra, objetivos, e instrumentos de medida de las investigaciones. Respecto de los resultados del segundo objetivo, las dos principales limitaciones declaradas en los estudios son el uso de instrumentos de medida de tipo autorreporte y los diseños que son principalemente correlaciónales y escasos cuasiexperimento; las dos principales orientaciones son que las universidades fomenten la actividad física a través de programas de intervención y que sea integrada al currículum.

“…To make this decision, we used as a base the potential bene ts of PA, even when the minimum levels recommended by international organizations were not reached [1][2][3], and the positive effect of PA on AP, regardless of the type of PA [78]. However, we are aware that in future studies, the mediating role of vigor should be veri ed by taking into account the different levels of PA and other variables such as environmental aspects [79].…”

Background Students suffer from a decrease in physical activity during their education period. This lower level of activity could affect, through various paths, their academic performance, mental health and satisfaction with life. In this study, we assume that vigor, a positive affect variable, would act as a mediating variable in the above relationship, and thus, we propose an instrument for evaluating vigor in academic contexts. To attain this aim, the factorial validity and reliability of the proposed vigor scale for students is tested (Study 1), along with its construct validity (Study 2). Methods In Study 1, 707 undergraduates (59.7% women) responded to the vigor scale adapted for students to test factorial validation (through confirmatory factor analysis) and obtain reliability indicators. In Study 2, 309 undergraduates (55.3% women) completed a questionnaire measuring physical activity, mental health, satisfaction with life, vigor and academic performance to test a structural model of the relationships between the variables to obtain construct validity. Results A measurement model with three related factors, each representing one dimension of vigor, optimally fit the data (S-Bχ2 = 231.54; df = 50; CFI = 0.95; NNFI = 0.93; SRMR = 0.07; RMSEA = 0.07 [0.06–0.08]), and the reliability indices were adequate (Study 1). In Study 2, the mediational model confirmed a complete influence of physical activity on satisfaction with life, academic performance and mental health levels through the levels of vigor of the students, with optimal adjusting values (S-Bχ2 = 108.82; df = 62; p < 0.001; CFI = 0.92; NNFI = 0.90; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.05 [0.03–0.06]). Conclusions Proposing an instrument such as the Shirom-Melamed Vigor Measure for students allows the opening of a research venue that is focused on the study of positive affects in academic contexts, as well as the testing of the physical activity pathways of action in obtaining positive results.
