“…Therefore, it has become an issue particularly actively discussed by experts in the different fields (Limone et al, 2022). Our previous research shows that the field of physical education (PE) also has an inexhaustible potential to help students counteract powerful stress factors (Andrieieva et al, 2023;Byshevets et al, 2022Byshevets et al, , 2023. So far, we have been able to make sure that the use of PA helps students develop stress resistance, causes the development of resistance to anxiety, and prevents the emergence of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD).…”

Objectives. The purpose of the study was to substantiate the influence of physical activity on stress-associated conditions in higher education students. Materials and methods. The dataset for building the models consisted of 1115 observations, 16 independent and 3 dependent variables. As the main method we used the random forest method, the idea of which is to obtain a forecast by aggregating the predictions of a set of individual decision trees, each of which is trained on a data subset isolated from the studied sample. Results. Physical activity (PA) was found to be the most important factor in predicting stress-related conditions in university students. In addition, PA levels involving moderate and high levels of energy expenditure, as well as the number of stressful events experienced, played a significant role in predicting stress among students. In order to predict stress-related conditions in higher education students, the models “Stress”, “Increased anxiety”, and “Risk of PTSD” were built using the random forest method. The model “Stress” had the highest quality: its Accuracy was 0.77, Recall – 0.86, Precision – 0.79, and F1 Score – 0.82. The “PTSD Risk” model correctly predicted 78% of cases that indicates its good overall performance, however it correctly identified only 23% of the students who actually had the signs of this disorder. Regarding the state of anxiety, given that it is less stable than stress and PTSD, which can make model training difficult, the model built had an average accuracy of 56%, as well as reduced completeness and balance. Conclusions. Models for predicting increased anxiety and identifying students with signs of PTSD require further improvement. The implementation of developed models allows to quickly identify the manifestations of stress-related conditions in higher education students and to take the necessary measures based on the engagement in PA to prevent the development of stress-related disorders.

Nowadays, along with significant intellectual and emotional burdens, students are exposed to even more threatening stressogenic factors. Therefore, scientific research aimed at the study of the factors that trigger the mechanisms of stress development in students of higher education is becoming more and more relevant. The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of motor activity on the factors causing stress-related conditions in students of higher education. Research methods: study, analysis, systematization and generalization of scientific-methodical and special literature, own pedagogical experience, pedagogical observations. The results. The concept of "stress-associated conditions of students of higher educational institutions" was clarified, by which we mean the spectrum of persistent psycho-emotional experiences and reactions of the students' body to adverse changes in the environment. Among the most threatening factors causing stress in students, we identified: the transformation of the socio-cultural situation in the sphere of leisure, entertainment, communication at the stage of digitalization of society, caused by the formation and development of e-sports; a change in the study regime, the impossibility of attending wellness events due to quarantine restrictions, a violation of the established way of life under the influence of armed conflicts. Despite the leading role of health-recreational motor activity in overcoming stress and reducing the severity of its impact on the condition of students of higher education, the selected factors do not contribute to such activity. This can increase the impact of stress on students and exacerbate stress-related conditions. Conclusions. It is necessary to develop and implement a system of prevention and correction of stressful conditions of students of higher educational institutions by means of health and recreational motor activity.

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.
