Abstract

This article presents an analysis of activities performed by teachers and administrative personnel of higher education institutions to create and make the best use of the physical culture and sports environment in higher education establishments. It was revealed that this environment should rest on the following structural components: rating scales for athletic performance evaluation of students and contemporary methods for teaching physical education lessons at universities. The efficiency of using rating score systems to measure the athletic performance of students was confirmed by a significant increase (P<0.01) in the number of young people who participate in PE and sports on a regular basis and who take part in competitions of various levels. The application of cardio and strength training programs (HOT IRON) in physical education lessons has proved effective for students as well. The students in the experimental group significantly improved their muscle power (P<0.01) and overall endurance (0.05). These programs can also be applied for effective body shaping and obesity prevention.

“…Therefore, the experts believe that the quality physical education programs for the trainees should contribute to the formation of young people's need for active movement (Bott, & Mitchell, 2015). The need to introduce changes in the standards of higher education that are associated with the increase in the overall level of the culture of health of the students and university professors and the increase in the level of motor activity of the participants in the educational process is underlined by the various scientists (Osipov, Kudryavtsev, Fedorova, et al, 2017, Iermakov, Cieślicka, & Muszkieta, 2015.…”

“…According to the experts, the mechanisms of material incentive will contribute to a significant increase in the level of physical activity of all participants in the educational process through the desire to recruit the largest number of points (Osipov, A., Kadomtseva, E., Lepilina, T., et al, 2015). However, the experts point out that without significant mechanisms for encouraging students it will be possible to successfully solve the problem of deterioration in the level of physical development and health of the modern young people (Osipov, Kudryavtsev, Fedorova, et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, in the colleges and universities in England and Wales, despite significant measures to support the physical activity of the students, the participation rates of young people in various sports and sports activities are not acceptable (Boccaro, Kanters, Cerin, et al, 2012). Indeed, many experts say that there is a clear negative trend of lack of attention to physical exercises among the modern students (Osipov, Kudryavtsev, Fedorova, et al, 2017;Fotynyuk, 2017). Thus, the administration of educational institutions faces the difficult task of significantly increasing the level of motor activity of students in the context of a decrease in the interest of young people in sports and sports activities.…”

“…Thus, the administration of educational institutions faces the difficult task of significantly increasing the level of motor activity of students in the context of a decrease in the interest of young people in sports and sports activities. Thus, a significant increase in the motor activity of students can be achieved when the administration of the higher educational institutions uses various methods of encouragement and sports competition among young people (Osipov, Kudryavtsev, Fedorova, et al, 2017). It should be also considered the possibility of free admission of the students to the physical education classes without strict adherence to the training schedule.…”

Criterion score of the physical and psychophysiological condition of students in the context of determining their individual adaptability to physical loads

“…The definition of adaptive abilities of the individual considering his age, gender, and psychophysiological peculiarities is the actual and perspective direction of pedagogical science. The abovementioned is crucial for the organization of physical education and sports classes according to the modern requirements [1,2]. It is expedient to reveal the neurophysiological and psychophysiological mechanisms of adapting the organism to various factors of the external environment [3].…”
