The value of physical culture and health-improving activity in the physical training of students with weakened health

Abstract

The article examines the key features of the organisation of physical culture and health-improving activities in the framework of physical training of students with impaired health. The considered research problem lies in the contradiction between the need to improve physical culture and health-improving activity in higher training and the lack in the modern training system of effective practices for organising physical training of students with impaired health. The study examines the main changes in recent years in the practice of organising physical culture and health-improving activities for students with impaired health, we reveal the mechanism for the formation of special medical groups, as well as their differentiation depending on the type of students' diseases. The importance of increasing the effectiveness of physical culture and health-improving activity in universities is noted, in view of the continuing growth in the number of students with impaired health. Based on the analysis of the current state of the system of physical training of university students, the main problems inherent in this area are highlighted, namely – the diversity of competences in the field of physical culture, the lack of balance between the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the physical activity of students with impaired health, the lack of a motivational aspect in the system of physical training. The need for a qualitative modernisation of the practice of applying the competency approach to physical training of students and the introduction of a motivational component in the curriculum for physical culture is emphasised. For the further development of this direction, it is necessary to find and maintain a balance between theoretical work and obtaining practical skills in the process of physical culture and health-improving activities, as well as the ability to apply them in subsequent life.
