On the health and motor activity of university students

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of objective and subjective factors affecting the health and motor activity of university students during their studies. Taking into account the real events in our country today, the authors believe that, the Ministries of the Russian Federation, which are responsible for educational institutions, should reconsider the attitude to physical education of children, adolescents and youths: students should be required to have an annual positive dynamics of physical fitness indicators, and applicants should have the “Ready for the Labor and Defense” sign when enrolling in many faculties, including medical ones. In universities, within the hours allocated to “Elective disciplines of physical education”, it is necessary to introduce a theoretical course (module) “Fundamentals of health improving physical education” in the amount of 70–72 hours for the 3rd year students.
