CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO THE USE OF MODERN WELLNESS SYSTEMS IN THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF FEMALE STUDENTS

Abstract

Aim: this paper aims to formulate and substantiate the concept of selection of health-related tools for the physical education of female students. Materials and methods. The study involved 64 1^st–3^rd year female students of the Branch of the Gubkin University. The problematic aspects of the physical education of female students, as well as the ways of their solution were identified using the theoretical analysis of relevant scientific literature, the data obtained in the questionnaire survey and data generalization. The priority activities of female students were identified. A comprehensive set of exercises was proposed, which was based on the use of aerobics, oriental dances, stretching, fitness yoga, and strength fitness elements for each system of the body. Heart rate and its changes were recorded using a heart rate monitor. Results. The comparison of the results obtained with the well-being of the trainees and pedagogical observations made it possible to distribute health-enhancing activities by their intensity, targeted physical qua­lities and the biomechanical structure of movement. The tools, methods and ways used in the lesson were determined, as well as exercise intensity and complexity. Conclusions. The study made it possible to formulate the concept of selection of health-related tools for physical education with respect to the classification of physical exercises based on their orientation. The results obtained significantly supplement the theory and methodology of physical education with data about new health-enhancing activities and require further scientific research for their use in practice.
