Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to compare the physical performance of foreign language students (female students, Yelabuga Institute) with and without additional physical activity. Materials and methods. The study involved 30 foreign language students (female students, 2nd year, Yelabuga Institute, Kazan Federal University, Russia) during the 2021–2022 academic year (09/01/2021–12/05/2021; 25/03/2022–04/10/2022). The control group involved female students without additional physical activity except for elective disciplines (modules) in physical education and sport. The experimental group involved female students with additional physical activity (team and cyclic sports) three to four times a week for 120 minutes. Heart rate, blood pressure, physical performance, and maximum oxygen consumption were mea­sured. Results. The results show a positive effect of additional physical activity on female students. Increased and stable physical performance was noted during the academic year, as well as an improved psycho-emotional state. Fitness tests showed enhanced physical performance. Conclusion. Regular additional physical activities during the academic year allow for the prevention of maladjustment symptoms, particularly during the exam period, as well as the provision of students' psycho-emotional resistance to stress factors.
