Formation of the Students' Volitional Qualities in the Process of Physical Education

The aim of the study is to investigate the development level of the students’ volitional qualities and their impact on physical fitness. The research of the formation of the students’ volitional qualities was conducted in 2014-2020 in three stages. At the first stage, the significance of the difficulties that arise in the process of physical education was assessed, and the volitional qualities structure of the students of different genders was determined. At the second stage, the methodology of the volitional qualities assessment was developed and the development level of the students’ volitional qualities in the process of physical education was defined. At the third stage, the students’ level of physical fitness concerning the level of volitional qualities development was investigated. The study involved 972 students between the ages of 17 and 22. It was found that the main volitional qualities of students are purposefulness, persistence and perseverance, endurance and self-control, proactivity, and independence. In addition, purposefulness is the leading volitional quality around which other qualities are grouped in a certain system. It was found that 16.2% of male students and 10.1% of female students had a high level of volitional qualities development. 54.7% of male students and 37.6% of female students had a medium level. 29.1% of male students and 52.3% of female students had a low level of volitional qualities development. It was designated that students who were characterized by highly-developed volitional qualities had a high level of physical qualities development

Dynamics of students' fitness level while differentiating physical education classes in accordance with their health and nosology of diseases

The aim:Is to study the dynamics of students' physical fitness level while differentiating physical education classes in accordance with their somatic health and nosology of diseases. Materials and methods: The paper presents the results of a study of the dynamics of the physical fitness indicators of students in the process of physical education. The study involved 660 students between the ages of 17 and 25. Testing of students' physical fitness was performed using the method of control measurements. Research methods included the theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observations, testing, pedagogical experiment, and the methods of mathematical statistics. Results: At the end of the experiment, the students of the experimental groups (both male and female) showed authentically (р<0.05–0.001) better indicators of the control tests than the students of the control groups. Conclusions: It was established that the introduction of the original program of differentiating classes in accordance with the level of students' somatic health and nosology of diseases into the process of physical education has a positive effect on their physical fitness level. This will help to improve their learning and future professional activities
