APPLICATION OF SELF-CONTROL METHODS IN APPLIED PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Aim. This study aims to provide a pedagogical assessment of students' health status and performance within the basic and preparatory health groups engaged in applied physical education, utilizing the self-control method. Materials and methods. The assessment was conducted within the classroom of applied physical education at the sports base of the Institute of Shipbuilding and Arctic Marine Technology, a branch of the Northern Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov. A total of 30 third-year students participated, divided into medical health groups (basic and preparatory). The study employed methods of medical and pedagogical health monitoring, including the Ruffier test for assessing heart rate response to short-term stress, the timed inspiratory capacity method for evaluating respiratory system status in hypoxia, and the Quetelet index for anthropometric indicators of health. Results. The Ruffier test indicated an unsatisfactory assessment among students, with the main group showing a 20% unsatisfactory rate and the preparatory group a 13.3% unsatisfactory rate. The body mass index was assessed as follows: “good body weight” – 13.3% in the main group and 46.6 % in the preparatory group, “poor body weight” – 6.6% in the main group and 26.6% in the preparatory group. The so-called “best body weight” was found in only 20% of students in the main group.Conclusion. Thus, students in the main medical group have the highest rates of functional tests. However, according to the individual mass-age profile, students in the preparatory group occupy the most advantageous position. The results obtained made it possible to correct the individual loads of students and monitor the effectiveness of the selected areas of training.
