“…Слід звернути увагу, що на територіях, де відбуваються активні бойові дії, заняття ОРРА стали неможливими взагалі.

In recent years, applicants for higher education have been under increased stress factors. It is known that health-improving and recreational motor activity classes contribute to overcoming stress among students of higher educational institutions. This situation exacerbates the issues of purposeful use of means of health-improving and recreational motor activity in the student environment as a means of dealing with stress and requires determining the influence of physical activity on the level of stress among students. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of means of health-improving and recreational physical activity to overcome the stress of Ukrainian applicants for higher education in the conditions of armed confrontation in the country. The second wave of the study, which lasted from October 13 to December 30, 2022, involved 610 higher education applicants from different regions of Ukraine. It has been established that a significant part of applicants for higher education for the period of the survey was under the increased influence of stress factors, which was aggravated by a decrease in their motor activity. It turned out that physiological signs of stress predominate in students statistically significantly (p<0.05) compared to intellectual, behavioral and emotional signs. It was found that only 12.5% of students of the ZVO did not have signs of stress, 62.8% of them with moderate and severe stress levels need corrective measures using the means of health-improving and recreational motor activity aimed at adapting to stressful effects and overcoming stress, and 24.7% need the help of psychologists. The findings suggest that stress is rampant among higher education applicants. It was confirmed that the manifestation of stress in female students is statistically significant (p<0.05) more intense than in female students. It has been proven that there is a statistically significant (p<0.05) correlation between the occupations of applicants for higher education by health-improving and recreational physical activity and the need for measures to counteract stress. However, now students of higher educational institutions do not fully use the potential of means of health-improving and recreational motor activity, which indicates the need for their purposeful use to prevent and correct stress-associated conditions of higher education applicants.

In the recent period, students of institutions of higher education (HEI) carry out educational activities with the help of remote forms of education, which is an unfavorable factor that encourages them to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Scientists testify that the motor activity of modern student youth is decreasing. However, for now, there is a lack of basic scientific investigations that would cover a long period of time, which determined the choice of the research topic. The purpose of the study was to study and analyze the dynamics of motor activity of students of higher education in the conditions of distance learning. 1528 applicants of higher education of Ukraine participated in the study, which lasted from 2019 to 2023, of which 45.2% were students. The average scores of students' motor activity during the research period were determined and the dynamics of the indicator were studied in distance learning conditions, depending on gender. It was established that regardless of gender, in 2020 there was a sharp decrease in the physical activity of students of higher education institutions due to quarantine restrictions. In 2021, student youth adapted to the difficult conditions of life and the level of their motor activity increased to the indicators of 2019. At the same time, the beginning of hostilities on the territory of the country was marked by a significant decrease in motor activity, which, unfortunately, continues. Despite a similar trend in the dynamics of motor activity, in 2023, the assessment of motor activity did not differ statistically significantly (p>0.05) compared to 2022, and in female students it decreased statistically significantly (p<0.05). It was determined that the share of students with signs of hypodynamia against the background of continuing distance learning and deteriorating living conditions is increasing and in 2023 reached 43.1% among male students and 60.1% among female students. Consequently, adverse living conditions in general and distance learning in particular increase the risk of developing hypodynamia in students of higher education. It is necessary to develop and implement measures aimed at overcoming the negative tendency to decrease the physical activity of students of higher education.

The armed conflict provoked the spread of signs of emotional distress among students of higher educational institutions. It is known that the process of students' adaptation to unfavorable living conditions accelerates the use of means of health- improving physical activity. Therefore, the actual direction of research is to study how students were able to adapt to adverse living conditions. The purpose of the study is to determine the dynamics of the psycho-emotional state of university students in the conditions of a military conflict, depending on the occupations in health-improving physical activity. Results. The study, which took place in three waves and lasted from April 20, 2022 to May 25, 2023, involved 1,704 university students from different regions of Ukraine. As it turned out, a significant part of students have psychological problems. At the same time, less than half of them lead an active lifestyle. It is proved that at the moment, compared with the beginning of active hostilities in the country, the proportion of students who reported the presence of psychological problems and the use of sedatives increased statistically significantly (p<0.05) by 4.5 and 3.1%, respectively. . At the same time, the proportion of students who systematically or rather systematically engage in recreational physical activity decreased by 2.3% (p<0.05). Conclusions. The results that we obtained in the course of the study prove that it is necessary to use the means of health-improving physical activity that are available to students under martial law. This will help them reduce psycho-emotional stress and adapt to difficult circumstances.
