ANALYSIS OF ARMENIAN STUDENTS STRENGTH ENDURANCE INDICATORS

Abstract

Strength endurance is considered one of the manifestations of human strength abilities. Indicators of strength endurance give some idea of a person's physical fitness, as well as the functional state of various organs and systems. In the course of the study, it was found that in recent years, specialists in the field of physical education have begun to show quite a lot of interest, especially in the indicators of strength endurance of students. Through this study, an attempt was made to find out the indicators of strength endurance of Armenian students and their compliance with international standards. The purpose of the study is to figure out the level of strength endurance of Armenian students. The study was carried out in February 2024 at Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi, V. Bryusov State University and the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport. The study involved 177 participants. During the study, testing was carried out through 3-minute burpee test. The following data were obtained from the statistical analysis of the test results: male students - 38.55 (X), 11.97 (σ), 1.29 (m); female students - 34.31 (X), 14.39 (σ), 1.51 (m). From a comparative analysis of the indicators of female and male students, it became clear that female students lag slightly behind the male students in their indicators. The difference is statistically significant (t=2.13, p<0.05) and is 4.24. The data obtained were compared with the data of European (Polish, British, Hungarian, Serbian) students. It turned out that Armenian students have lower level of strength endurance than Europeans. Thus, the international standards of the Burpee 3 m test cannot be applied to Armenian students.
