The means and methods of improving the level of motor applicants of the higher education

Abstract

Studying in the higher education institutions is characterised by intellectual stress and a decrease in the level of the physical activity in the applicants. Physical activity contributes to health promotion, improvement of the functional state of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems; raising the level of the physical fitness and performance, and ensuring the diverse and the harmonious development of the student youth.
 The lack of the physical activity has a negative impact on health, physical development, the physical fitness and the performance in the applicants of the higher education.
 The purpose of the study: to provide means and methods for increasing the amount of the physical activity in the applicants of the higher education and to reveal their effectiveness.
 Results of the study. The means and methods of increasing the level of motor activity in the applicants of the higher education in the conditions of distance education are proposed and their effectiveness is revealed.
 Conclusions. Aerobics, athletics, badminton, table tennis, tennis, and rhythmic gymnastics are among the most effective means of increasing the level of physical activity in distance learning in the applicants of the higher education institutions. The systematic training in these types of the physical activity helps to improve health; improve the functional state of the systems and the analysers, joint mobility and spinal flexibility; improve physical development; increase the level of physical fitness and performance; create favourable conditions for the central nervous system; normalise nervous processes and blood pressure; and adapt to environmental stressors in students.
