Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to identify changes in school-based anxiety in children aged 12 – 13 during their physical education using a special Program for the individual typological approach implementation. Methodology: Two groups had been formed: reference and experimental (25 people each); three methods were used (Method for studying individual typological peculiarities of middle-school children by A. Belov, Method of Kondash's anxiety scale (1973), and Method of identifying general physical education of students); diagnostic testing of physical fitness was conducted (long jump from the spot; lifting the body in 30 sec. (press); push-up (girls); pulling up on the crossbar (boys); running 30 meters, shuttle running 3x10; bending forward from a sitting position). Main Findings: The results of the study have been statistically processed with Excel 2000 and STATISTICA 8.0, using the Student's t-test for dependent and independent samples. The M average has been found; the differences have been considered significant at p < 0.05. Applications of this study: The Program for the individual typological approach implementation has been compiled with an emphasis on reducing school-based anxiety in children aged 12 – 13; its features, objectives, indicators, criteria, content, and forms of implementation have been substantiated; a set of general physical exercises has been developed for each type of temperament, which includes the exercises for some groups of muscles of the upper shoulder girdle, back muscles, abdomen, and hips. Novelty/Originality of this study: The significant improvement in the physical fitness of students from the experimental group compared to the reference one identified during the term proves the efficiency of the implemented physical education program, taking into account the individual typological approach to the personality of adolescents with an emphasis on reducing their school-based anxiety. The results of the study have allowed formulating recommendations for improving the approaches to conducting physical education classes.

Aim. The article deals with studying the features of the peripheral component of erythron and cytokine profile in the blood of students with different modes of physical activity during psycho-emotional stress associated with exams in distance education. Materials and methods. The study involved 48 students aged 26.13 ± 0.48 years. To assess the concentration of erythron elements, the Cell-Dyne 3700 automated analyzer was used. The content of cytokines in blood serum was determined with the help of the Multiscane Biotech analyzer using reagent kits of the Cytokine company (St. Petersburg). Results. The features of the peripheral component of erythron and the cytokine profile were established in the peripheral blood of distant students. The severity of changes in anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines was determined. The revealed changes can be partially eliminated when aerobic training is included in e-learning programs. Conclusion. The results of the study made it possible to identify dysfunctions of the erythron and cytokine profile in distant students and to show the high efficiency of aerobic training in terms of increasing the hematological and neuroimmune reserve of the body under stress. The effects of aerobic training are considered as an adaptive resource that indirectly affects an optimal balance between the content of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and elements of the erythron in peripheral blood in distant students.
