The influence of sports games on the Physical Fitness of first-year students

Abstract

The article examines the level of Physical Fitness of 18-year-old female students of the first year of study, who in terms of health belong to the main medical group. At the beginning of the study, the level of development of speed, coordination abilities, flexibility and leg muscle strength of the girls was determined and a low level of Physical Fitness of the participants was revealed. Female students were divided into three levels of groups: the first – in the process of Physical Education, they used volleyball equipment, the second – basketball, and the third – footballl. After three months of classes, the test was repeated, which revealed the selective effect of sports games on various indicators of Physical Fitness. Namely, when using volleyball in classes, the biggest changes were observed in the indicators of the "leaning forward from a sitting position" test. In the group that used football equipment, the best dynamics were observed in the "shuttle run 4*9 m" test. We obtained the best positive changes in leg strength indicators (long jump from a standing test) in the group that used basketball equipment during Physical Education classes. Such selectivity of the impact of sports games on various Physical Qualities can be successfully used when purposefully used to solve the problems of increasing the Physical Fitness of female students.
