Application of various forms of physical education as a factor of increase in the level of physical activity of medical students

Abstract

Purpose: increase in the level of weekly physical activity of medical students of HEI by application of various forms of physical education training. Material: Senior students participated in a research (n=78 – males, n=190 – females, age – 21-23 years). Indicators of physical strength development were estimated by the number of pull-ups on a horizontal bar (males) and by the number of floor push-ups (females). Development of speed was estimated by the time of cover100 ma distance. Level of the general endurance of an organism was estimated by results of cover3000 ma distance by male students and2000 mby female students. Results: it was revealed a significant increase in time of physical activity training in students of experimental groups. The average time of physical training was 3±0,08 hours per a week. This indicator is significantly above (Р<0,01), than in students of control groups. Indicators of strength development, speed and general endurance in students of experimental groups is significantly above (Р<0,01). Body weight indicators significantly increased (Р<0,05) in 2,3±0,2 kg in students of control groups. Indicators of body weight slightly increased in 0,4±0,2 kg in students of experimental groups. Conclusions: Various forms of physical education promote increase in the weekly level of physical activity of students.
