Purpose of the study: to determine the therapeutic effects of combinations of rehabilitation technologies in patients with burnout. Methods: 208 patients aged 31.9 (18–52.0) years with burnout (ICD-10 code Z73.0) were studied. The patients were prescribed a set of physical exercises, a course of audiovisual polysensory relaxation, transcranial magnetic therapy, non-selective chromotherapy, therapeutic massage, contrast showers (baths), climatotherapy, clinical nutrition, and psychotherapy. The total duration of the course was 20–30 days. Clinical, instrumental, psychophysical, and integral methods of assessing the condition of patients were used. Results: the study revealed significant dynamics of indicators of subjective well-being: interest in professional activity, attention to detail, psychophysiological status, heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, vital capacity, double product and the Martinet-Kushelevsky test, adaptive potential, and vegetative regulation. The rehabilitation course caused a significant improvement in integral health indicators: the level of somatic health increased from 1.75 ± 0.52 to 2.9 ± 0.58 points (p < 0.001) and physical performance indicators PWC-170 — from 866.6 ± 10.2 to 1,031.1 ± 11.8 mcg/s (p < 0.001). Conclusion: the complex of syndrome and pathogenetically conditioned rehabilitation technologies forms pronounced actoprotective and psychorelaxing therapeutic effects in patients with burnout.

Therapeutic effects of rehabilitation technologies in patients with functional asthenia

Relevance: determining the therapeutic effects of a complex of pathogenetically determined rehabilitation technologies in patients with functional asthenia is an urgent scientific and practical task. The aim of the study was to determine the therapeutic effects of combinations of rehabilitation technologies in patients with functional asthenia. Methods: 24 patients aged 29.3 (21.5–35.0) years with functional asthenia (ICD-10 code: R53) were studied. The patients were prescribed a set of physical exercises, a course of audiovisual polysensory relaxation, carbon dioxide baths, climatotherapy, clinical nutrition, and psychotherapy. The total duration of the course was 30 days. Clinical, instrumental, psychophysical, and integral methods of assessing the condition of patients were used. Results: an improvement in clinical status indicators and a decrease in signs of asthenia with an improvement in mood, well-being, cheerfulness, and self-confidence were noted. The rehabilitation course caused a pronounced oxygen capacity of tissues, an increase in adaptation reserves, an improvement in vegetative regulation and the level of somatic health, and a significant increase in physical performance in patients with functional asthenia. Conclusion: а complex of physical exercises, audiovisual polysensory relaxation, carbon dioxide baths, climatotherapy, clinical nutrition, and psychotherapy forms pronounced actoprotective and psychocorrective therapeutic effects in patients with functional asthenia.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ФИЗИОТЕРАПИИ У РАБОТНИКОВ РЕЧНОГО ТРАНСПОРТА, ИМЕЮЩИХ ДОКЛИНИЧЕСКИЕ СТАДИИ СЕРДЕЧНО-СОСУДИСТЫХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ, И ФАКТОРЫ РИСКА ИХ РАЗВИТИЯ

Aim. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of physical therapy on blood pressure, dyslipidemia, the level of somatic and mental health, and cardiovascular risk in river transport workers with preclinical stages of cardiovascular disease and risk factors for their development. Methods. Sixty-two employees of JSC "Tomsk Shipping Company" who were divided into 2 groups were studied. The first group consisted of riverboat workers with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and the second group included workers with preclinical stages of cardiovascular disease and risk factors for their development. In the river transport crew, the correction of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease was carried out following the DASH diet, moderate physical activity, application of physical factors, preventive talks, and biofeedback training. In preclinical forms of cardiovascular disease (AH of the 1st degree), complex hypotensive therapy was also applied. To study the effectiveness before and after physical therapy, BP was recorded, the level of somatic health and psychoemotional status was evaluated, the adaptation potential was calculated, the contents of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, as well as absolute or relative cardiovascular risk were determined. Results. Therapeutic and prophylactic measures allow to increase adaptation and psychological capabilities of rivermen, to normalize blood pressure in all workers of the river transport crew under 40 years old, to reduce the degree of arterial hypertension in workers over 40 years old, to reach target values of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol in 18% of cases, to increase the level of somatic health in 1/3 of workers, and to reduce the level of cardiovascular risk in 38% of workers. Conclusion. The therapeutic and prophylactic measures carried out on the seafaring personnel had positive hypotensive, antispastic, antianginal, hemodynamic, lipid-correcting, and adaptogenic effects.

Особенности оказания ортодонтической помощи детям с различным уровнем соматического здоровья

INTRODUCTION: Today, not all groups of the child population can receive full orthodontic care. This is typical for children with disabilities who have mental and neuromotor development disorders. To ensure optimal quality of orthodontic care in these cases, it is necessary to involve related specialists, the availability of modern equipment, and the psychological readiness of the doctor to work with children. The combination of these conditions will make it possible to fully provide orthodontic care to children with disabilities. AIM: To study features of rendering orthodontic care to children with different somatic health level MATERIALS AND METHODS: Orthodontic treatment of 50 children aged 7 to 16 years was carried out. The patients were divided into 3 groups based on the general somatic health status: children with anomalies of the position of teeth and bite, without burdening pathology; children with anomalies of the position of teeth and bite, with concomitant disorders of the respiratory, musculoskeletal and other systems; children with disabilities. Besides, the patients were classified by types of dental anomalies. Orthodontic treatment of patients from group 2 started after consultation with specialists. Patients from group 3 had a conclusion about the underlying disease and were referred to related specialists for consultation if necessary. RESULTS: The treatment of group 1 patients was without peculiarities. Removable and non-removable devices were used to correct dental anomalies. In all cases, a satisfactory result of treatment was obtained. In the treatment of group 2 patients, it was necessary to eliminate the concomitant pathology. Therapeutic measures aimed at restoring natural respiration and normalizing the function of the musculoskeletal system were recommended. As a result, anomalies of the dental system were corrected in 17 cases. In 3 cases, it was impossible to achieve correction of the distal bite due to the late start of treatment. In 1 patient, it was impossible to restore the function of the respiratory system. In 3 cases, the disorders in functioning of the musculoskeletal system were not completely corrected, which required further observation. The impossibility to restore the function of the respiratory system affected the result of treatment in 1 patient. Treatment of children from group 3 caused the greatest difficulty. A good clinical result was achieved in 3 cases, and in the rest ones the result was an improvement of the existing condition, but due to the peculiarities of the mental state of children, the treatment could not be fully completed. CONCLUSIONS: An effective algorithm for providing orthodontic care to children with disabilities has been developed. Before treatment, it is necessary to correct the concomitant pathology with participation of related specialists. It is recommended simple devices be used with good fixation in the oral cavity. The positive changes in the dental status obtained permit to further improve the overall health condition.

Morphofunctional and motor prerequisites for strength training of senior school students who have different levels of somatic health

The main principle of the implementation of developmental and health-enhancing physical education classes for school students is the differentiated use of exercise. Differentiation is based on the individual capabilities of groups homogeneous in terms of their morphofunctional state. The aim of the study was to substantiate morphofunctional and motor prerequisites for strength training of senior school students who have different levels of somatic health. Materials and methods. The study involved 102 pupils (62 girls and 40 boys). We used the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, anthropometry, pedagogical testing, physiological tests of Kerdo, coefficient of blood circulation economy, Hench and Shtange tests; rapid assessment of the level of somatic health, selective statistical analysis and correlation analysis. Conclusions. The level of somatic health of senior school students as a criterion for a differentiated approach to physical education is comprehensive compared to morphological or physiological ones, and therefore is more promising, as it objectively assesses the relationship between the physical qualities, in particular strength tests, physiological tests, and the level of physical development. The content of differentiated exercise loads is primarily determined by the level of health of participants. For girls, this is a moderate level of somatic health, and, for boys, this is an above-moderate level. The worst physical qualities are associated with a lower than moderate level of somatic health. This may also be the basis for differentiated assessment of physical qualities.

SOMATIC HEALTH INDICATORS OF FUTURE POLICE OFFICERS

Abstract: In our research, the level of somatic health of cadets of the National Academy of Internal Affairs of the first, second and third years of study was determined.
 The aim of the research was to determine the level of physical health indicators of future police officers at the institution of higher education of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during training.
 The research showed the dynamics of physical health indicators from the first to the third year of study.
 The research used theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics, medical and biological methods. We used diagnostic express system of H.L. Apanasenko to determine the level of physical health.
 The results of the examination of the cadets of the Academy of Internal Affairs indicate that the body mass index of most of the examined corresponds to the average level. Lung volumes indicators showed that 80% of the examined cadets had an insufficient level of development and functional capabilities of the respiratory system. Analyzing the results of the strength index, we can state that this indicator is insufficiently developed in 2/3 of the examined cadets (74%). The indicators of the Robinson index show that in most (92%) of the cadets examined at all courses, the activity of the cardiovascular system according to this indicator is insufficient. The analysis of indicators of pulse response to load shows that 1/2 of the examined (52%) cadets have an insufficient level of functional reserves of the cardiovascular system. We found that the vast majority of examined cadets (85%) of the Academy of Internal Affairs have poor physical health and are outside the safe level (low, below average and average levels of somatic health).

Level of somatic health of 16-17 year old girls

The article defines the level of physical (somatic) health of girls aged 16–17. It was used the method of assessing the level of physical health G.L. Apanasenko.
 Data on the distribution of examinees by level of physical health allow us to state that 27.34% of 16-year-old girls and 27.76% of 17-year-old girls have a low level of physical health, 54.28% and 47.32% - below average, 11.59% and 19.31% are average, 6.79% and 5.61% are above average.
 The obtained results of the experiment indicate that the majority of girls aged 16-17 have a low or below average level of somatic health.
 It is important to note that among the girls who participated in the study, 6.79% of 16-year-old girls and 5.61% of 17-year-old girls have a higher than average level of physical health. Unfortunately, among the 16–17-year-old girls who took part in the study, there were no ones whose level of physical health could be characterized as high.
 The research was conducted with the aim of improving the effectiveness of the physical education process. The obtained results will be basic in the development of favorable conditions for preserving and strengthening the physical health of girls through traditional and innovative means of physical culture and sports to meet the requests, needs and preferences of girls aged 16-17.

Monitoring the state of health of first-year female students of NUPh in the 2018-2021 academic years

The purpose of this research is to compare and determine the level of health of first-year female students of NUPh in the 2018-2021 academic years.
 Material & Methods: the research involved 528 first-year female students of National University of Pharmacy (the year of entry 2018 (n=311); the year of entry 2019 (n=107); the year of entry 2020 (n=60); the year of entry 2021 (n=50)). Anthropometric parameters (body weight, standing height, hand muscle strength), physiological parameters (vital capacity of the lungs (VCL), heart rate (HR)) were determined during the examination. Functional breath-holding tests (the Stange and Hench tests) were performed, the level of physical health was determined by the method of Pyrohova, O.A., the express assessment of the level of somatic health was determined by the method of Apanasenko, H.A., and the method of assessing physical work capacity using the Ruffier test was performed. Descriptive statistics were used for the statistical analysis of the data. The comparison of average values of variable indicators was carried out using parametric methods (Student’s t-test) with the normal distribution of these signs expressed in the interval scale. All calculations were performed in StatSoft Statistica 8.1 for Windows.
 Results: the data obtained in the course of the research allow us to state that the indicators of the Ruffier index are at “satisfactory” (14,1±0,3) and “average” levels (7,5±1,1). The somatic health indicator was also at the “below average” level in 2018 (4 points), it was at the “average” level (7 points) in 2019, and in 2020 and 2021, this indicator was already at the “above average” level (14 and 13 points, respectively). The level of physical health was also at the “average” level in 2018 (0,560), and in 2021 it was at the “above average” level (0,697).
 Conclusions: the conducted research showed that the somatic health and physical state of first-year female students of NUPh were improving from year to year (starting from 2018), which is reflected in the health level indicator according to the method of Pyrohova, O.A. and Apanasenko, H.A., the Ruffier index, and the results of the Stange and Hench tests. The Romberg test was within the normal range. The obtained results create broad prospects for their involvement in physical culture and sports activities.

Innovative approaches to teaching swimming to children at the stage of initial training

In the modern scientific space, various models of swimming training have been developed, which include integral-separate, sequential, sequential-parallel, accelerated, with the use of supporting and technical means of training. Within the framework of the developed models, various teaching methods and techniques are used depending on the specifics of the pedagogical task and the characteristics of the contingent of children. The purpose of the research is to identify innovative approaches to teaching swimming to children at the stage of initial training. Research methodology. The work used the methods of the theoretical level of research: analysis, comparison, induction, deduction, systematization and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, regulatory and legal documents. Scientific novelty. The following sequence of teaching children to swim at the stage of initial training has been established: familiarization with water, getting used to water, overcoming water resistance, diving headfirst into water, being able to stay afloat, being able to open eyes in water, gliding in water, performing paddling movements and learning to jump in water. Conclusions. It was determined that the main limiting factor in children's initial swimming training at the stage of initial training is the lack of time allocated in educational programs for mastering swimming skills. There is a need to find means and methods that allow to quickly form children's swimming skills, considering the level of their somatic health and functional state. This leads to the search for effective innovative methods of initial teaching of swimming technique. It is promising in this direction to use aquafitness tools in a game form for children, which on the one hand will allow to quickly form initial swimming skills, and on the other - will contribute to increasing the level of somatic health, functional state, and physical fitness of children.

The relationship of the prevalence of caries with the immune status of preschool and schoolage children in the city of Makhachkala

Relevance. The study of the relationship between dental morbidity and immune status is relevant due to the high prevalence of caries and the level of somatic health of children in Makhachkala.Materials and methods. The survey involved 425 children aged 2 to 17 years, long-term residents in Makhachkala. The average value of the CPI index corresponds to 5.5. To determine the relationship between the presence of caries and the immune status of children, 33 patients were selected from the examined to participate in a study to determine immunoglobulins in oral fluid in three age periods (11 children aged 6, 12 and 15 years). Oral fluid intake in patients was carried out 2 hours after meals. Determination of the concentration of immunoglobulins (secretory sIgA, IdA, IgM and IgG) was carried out using a set of reagents for enzyme immunoassay determination of the concentration of secretory immunoglobulins in "Invitro". Statistical analysis of the material was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics Standard program.Results. In Makhachkala, an increase in the prevalence of caries with age was revealed in preschoolers (6 years) 78.2 ± 0.3%, in adolescence (12 years) 78.9 ± 0.2%, in children with permanent bite (15 years) reaches 85.2 ± 0.6%. Studies of the immune status showed that immunoglobulins varied individually and by age groups. sIgA immunoglobulin, which allows to control immunity before the disease, decreased by more than 3 times by the period of permanent bite. Immunoglobulin IgA, which plays a protective function in humoral immunity, decreased by more than 70% by the period of permanent bite. IgM immunoglobulin increased by more than 40% in children by the age of 15. Changes also occurred with the content of the enzyme lysozyme, decreasing by the age of 15 years almost 6 times from the norm.Conclusions. The high morbidity rate of the children's population in Makhachkala is associated with anthropogenic impact, poor-quality drinking water, air and indicates the need for early detection of chronic somatic diseases and the organization of preventive and medical-dental care for children from an early age.

TO THE QUESTION OF THE EXPEDIENCY OF USING AN EXPRESS METHOD OF QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF SOMATIC HEALTH OF YOUNG ATHLETES 10-12 YEARS OLD IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR BIO-ENERGY RESERVES

Introduction. From the materials of publicly available literary sources, we find the information that an express method of quantitative assessment of the level of somatic health based on bio-energy reserves cannot be used in the assessment of health both of highly trained athletes and young sportsmen of adolescent age (13-16 years old). The reason is the specificity of the impact of various types of physical exercises on the structure of energy metabolism of athletes during muscle activity. As for the problem of quantitative assessment of physical health of young athletes of prepubertal age (initial stage of sports training) according to the body’s bio-energy reserves, it remains unexplored. The aim of the research is the theoretical justification and practical use of the express method of quantitative assessment of the level of somatic health of young athletes aged 10-12 years according to bioenergy reserves. Material and methods. 113 young athletes aged 10-12 years took part in the study, who were divided into two groups: group А – sports that mainly develop speed and strength qualities (judo wrestling, fencing, football) (n=56); group B – endurance sports (skiing, swimming, track and field athletics: running for 800, 1500-meters race) (n=57). The control group (group K) consisted of 30 students aged 10-12 years of a general educational institution, who did not play sports. Results. The nature of changes in life and power indexes as important indicators of aerobic energy potential of the body of children who played various sports. Conclusion. Based on the conducted research, the authors of the article are of the opinion that the questions concerning the expediency to use an express method of quantitative assessment of the level of somatic health of young athletes aged 10-12 years in the context of their bio-energy reserves remains debatable. On the one hand, the absence of statistically significant differences, due to the influence of physical training of different orientation, in the nature of changes in life and power indices characterizing the various functions of the body in young athletes points out the expediency to use an express method in the practice of sports. On the other hand, statistically significant differences in indices of strength training of young athletes having different orientation of training exercises points out the opposite. The reason – significant differences in the structure of energy metabolism during muscle activity, which are determined by specificity of impact of training load on the body of athletes. The result of such impact is the factor of “acquisition” of some and ‘loss” of other functions of the body. And therefore, according to the authors, it is necessary to conduct additional research with the purpose of establishing the final result.

Healthforming technologies in physical education of students

The article analyzes the possibilities of using health-forming educational technologies in sectional classes for students. Their effectiveness and acceptability in the system of physical education of university students was studied. As a result of the study, the level of somatic health of Omsk State University students who regularly participate in sports sections was revealed. The level of competence of students who regularly participate in sports sections about a healthy lifestyle and methods for assessing it was also determined. As a practical model for the use of health-forming technologies in the training process, an athlete’s self-control diary is proposed, which can be supplemented with new and necessary sections that allow focusing on the desire of both the athlete and the coach to fulfill the health-forming conditions of the entire training process at the university.

Dynamics of psychophysiological indicators of children with severe speech disorders in terms of implementation of game programs of physical education

Introduction. The social order to create the foundation for a healthy childhood necessitates a scientific search for new strategies for building a variable system of physical education for children with severe speech disorders. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the "Play for health" partial adaptive physical education and development program on the psychophysiological indicators of children of senior preschool age with severe speech disorders. Materials and methods. The study involved 53 children (25 girls and 28 boys) with "General underdevelopment of speech, III level of speech development." A set of methods was used to assess the level of physical development, somatic health and psycho-emotional status of older preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment. The reliability of the obtained results was proved using the method of mathematical statistics according to Student's t-test. Results. The data obtained made it possible to note that children with severe speech disorders have an average, disharmonious physical development, a third of them have a lack of body weight, insufficient muscle strength. Problems with the regulation of body functions by the central nervous system were identified. Thus, the stability of the reaction in children with severe speech disorders was significantly lower than the same values in children with normal speech development (p≤0.05), the functional capabilities of the nervous system were also lower (p≤0.01). The psycho-emotional status of children with severe speech disorders is less stable than that of their peers with a normal level of speech development. Conclusion. The re-diagnosis of children with severe speech disorders after the implementation of the "Play for health" partial adaptive physical education and development program showed a positive trend in the psychophysical state of the body, the functional status of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, an increase in the levels of physical development and, to a certain extent, overcoming its disharmony, the formation of a positive emotional background, a change in the level of somatic health, etc.

FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN TODAY'S REALITIES

The article reveals the peculiarities of the organization of physical education of students in institutions of higher education. Disadvantages of distance learning during physical exercises were revealed. The modern approach, solutions and methods of physical education of students in the conditions of war and coronavirus disease are indicated. An analysis of the level of physical fitness and motor activity of student youth in distance learning conditions was carried out. The state of health of modern youth was analyzed and the level of students' motivation for physical education classes was investigated. Different approaches to solving this problem were also determined during the analysis of literary sources: rethinking the content of physical culture and health education; improvement of physical culture and health work in institutions of higher education and pedagogical training of specialists; increasing the level of somatic health as a result of the introduction of control of the functional state of the body in the process of physical education and health activities. The uncertainty of the very system of organization of physical education of students causes some concern. The approaches practiced in this system, in particular, conducting joint classes with healthy children under the leadership of one teacher, engaging students in general lessons or in general, exempting students from physical exercises in physical education classes are unfounded and ineffective. Since such children can and should engage in motor activities and perform optimal physical activity for them, because scientific research proves the positive impact of active activities on children's health. In addition, joint classes under the guidance of one teacher will not bring the desired result, because he will be forced to distribute his attention to a large number of children.

Аналіз фізичного здоров′я студентів закладу вищої медичної освіти

The purpose of the study was to analyze the level of physical health of medical students and assess the factors that affect it. Materials and methods. 230 boys and girls of the first year of the medical faculty were examined in M. I. Pirogov Vinnytsa National Medical University at the age of 17 to 22 years. According to outpatient cards and the results of the survey, all students were classified as "practically healthy" and did not go in for professional sports. Assessment of the level of physical health was carried out according to the method of quantitative express assessment of the level of somatic health (G. L. Apanasenko). The physical activity of students, the nature of their diet, the presence or absence of bad habits were determined by the method of questioning. Results and discussion. According to the results of an express assessment of the level of somatic health, it was found that out of 230 first-year students, a high level of physical health was not recorded at all, 4.3% had above average, 22.6% had an average level, 31.7% had below average and 41.3% of students had a low level of physical health. According to gender, the results of the students were divided as follows: with an above average level of physical health there were 3 (2.1%) girls and 7 (7.8%) boys; with an average level – 30 (21.4%) girls and 22 (24.4%) boys; with below average level – 44 (31.4%) girls and 29 (32.2%) boys and a low level of physical health was observed in 63 (45%) girls and 32 (35.6%) boys. Boys and girls with a level of physical health above average were excluded from the study due to the low representativeness of the sample (3 girls and 7 boys). The rest made up groups with average (30 girls and 22 boys), below average (44 girls and 29 boys) and low (63 girls and 32 boys) levels of physical health. The study of physical activity showed that only 40% of girls and 68.2% of boys with an average level of physical health were engaged in non-professional sports. With a decrease in the level of physical health, the number of girls and boys who wanted to go in for sports decreased (p<0.001). Analyzing the nutrition of young people in the first year of study, we can say that for most students it was irrational. Only 60% of girls and 59.1% of boys with an average level of physical health ate rationally. Deterioration of nutrition had a negative impact on the formation of physical health (p<0.05). 7.9% of girls and 40.6% of boys had bad habits with a low level of physical health; 6.8% of girls and 31% of boys – with below average and 6.7% of girls and 31.8% of boys – with an average level of physical health. Conclusion. The vast majority of students had average, below average and low levels of physical health. Motor activity, quality of nutrition, bad habits influenced the formation of physical health

Strengthening the Physical and Mental Health of Students During Swimming Classes

Aim: The aim is to investigate the impact of swimming training sessions on the dynamics of somatic and mental health indicators of students of special medical groups. Materials and Methods:The research involved 50 1st and 2nd year female students who had diseases of various etiology and were assigned to a special medical group. The students’ somatic health was examined according to the indicators of weight, lungs vital capacity, wrist dynamometry, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, Stange test and Genchi test. The mental health was assessed by method of “Well-being, activity and mood”. Results:The experiments conducted within the EG revealed an improvement in all studied indicators of both somatic and mental health. At the end of the research, the vital index, the Robinson index, the Stange and Genchi tests, the level of somatic health, well-being, and mood in the EG were significantly better than in the CG. Conclusions: Regular swimming training sessions help to improve the health of female students of special medical groups in general, strengthen their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory systems as well as increase metabolism. In addition, swimming has a positive effect on the nervous system, relieves stress and improves the well-being of female students, increases their activity and mood.

Use of basketball in extracurricular forms of classes with children of senior school age

Basketball, as an important means of physical education and health improvement of children, is included in the compulsory programs of general education schools. Basketball provides versatile development, an increase in almost all motor and coordination qualities, agility and accuracy. Purpose: to assess the effectiveness of using basketball equipment in extracurricular activities with children of senior school age. Materials and methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature data, anthropometric methods, physiological methods, assessment of the level of somatic health, pedagogical methods, statistical methods of data processing. The experiment involved 20 children aged 15-17 years old, students of 9-11 grades of a comprehensive school. Results. The use of training lessons in basketball in senior school age should take into account the functional state of the body of children. In the experimental group, 80% of children had an average level of somatic health and 20% below average. Above average, low and high levels were not identified. In the control group, 40% of the pupils had a low level of somatic health, 30% of those studied had a lower than average level of somatic health and 30% had an average level. Above average and high levels were not revealed. According to the results, it can be noted that there were no deviations in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, both in the control and in the experimental groups. The analysis of the results of pedagogical testing made it possible to establish in the age aspect their gradual, but, as a rule, uneven growth. The analysis of testing the long jump found that: in the experimental group, all students showed better results at the initial stage than at the final stage. Conclusions. Comparing the results, we can conclude that the results in the two groups were quite high and corresponded to the indicators of physical fitness of senior schoolchildren.

The increasing of the somatic health in students using differently directed fitness

The purpose of study is to scientifically substantiate the methodology of applying differently directed fitness tools to increase the level of somatic health, physical and mental workability of students. The experimental sampling consisted of 186 students (106 girls, 80 boys) of the Belgorod State National Research Institute and the Belgorod University of Cooperation, Economics and Law. Two groups of respondents were organized: control group (n=85; 47 girls, 38 boys) that included students involved into officially approved education program of the Chair of Physical Culture and experiment group (n=101; 59 girls, 42 boys) that included students involved into experimental program. It is established that Pilates stabilizes and topes up muscles of entire body, improves coordination abilities of students involved, improves body-build constitution, promotes reducing of back pain, improves cardio-respiratory system functioning and is the most called-for fitness direction for reducing psycho-emotional tension. The step aerobics positively effects on the cardio-respiratory system, the entire musculoskeletal system and physical workability. The level of somatic health in experiment group after the experiment improved from "below average" to "average". In control group both before and after the experiment, the level of somatic health corresponded to "below average". After the experiment, the physical performance indices in experiment group improved and remained at the same level in control group. In the experiment group all analyzed indices of mental workability increased and acquired measured character.

ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' SOMATIC HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL STATE DURING SPORTS GAMES CLASSES

The aim: Is to investigate the impact of sports games (football) on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students in the process of studying. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture and Sumy State University (Ukraine) in 2018-2019. The study involved 87 male students of the main department. Two groups were formed: an experimental group (EG, n=42), the students of which were engaged in a sports-oriented form of physical education (in the class of football), and a control group (CG, n=45), the students of which were training according to the traditional methods of organizing physical education classes at higher education institutions. The somatic health of students was assessed according to the method of H. L. Apanasenko, which provided for the determination of body mass, life, power, and Robinson indexes, heart rate recovery time after a standard exercise. The emotional state of students was determined by the WAM (Well-being, Activity, Mood) methodology. Results: At the end of the study, the EG students showed a significantly better level of somatic health than the CG students; the difference was significant and accounted for 3.18 points (p<0.001). At the same time, during the study, the EG students had a more pronounced significant increase in all studied health indicators (p<0.001). The best emotional state level of the students of both groups was recorded at the end of the study, but in the EG students it was significantly (p<0.05) better than in the CG students by 0.55-0.73 points. Conclusions: It was found that sports games classes, including football, had a positive effect on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students. Significant changes were observed in the performance of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of students. The high level of somatic health and good emotional state of students will help to improve mastering academic disciplines at higher education institutions, provide preparation for active life and help to improve future professional activities.

HEALTH STATUS OF INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS WITH SPECIAL TRAINING CONDITIONS

The aim is to study the level and dynamics of instructor officers' somatic health during the course of employment at Ukrainian higher education institutions with special training conditions. Materials and methods: The study involved male instructor officers of the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine) of different age groups (n=103), who conduct training sessions with cadets - future police officers. The first age group (up to 25 years of age) comprised 8 instructors, the second one (26-30 years of age) - 11 instructors, the third one (31-35 years of age) - 14 instructors, the fourth one (36-40 years of age) - 16 instructors, the fifth one (41-45 years of age) - 19 instructors, the sixth one(46-50 years of age) - 17 instructors, and the seventh one (over 50 years of age) - 18 instructors. The study was conducted in 2017-2019. The level of instructor officers' health was examined according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko, which provides for the calculation of body mass, vital, strength, and Robinson indices, as well as the duration of recovery of heart rate after standard exercise. The research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical testing and observation, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: Insufficient level of health was revealed among instructor officers of all age groups - the level of somatic health of the vast majority of instructional staff (over 75 %) is assessed as "low" and "below average", more than 95 % of instructors are below the "safe zone" according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko. Conclusions: The research shows that the current system of physical training of higher education institutions with special training conditions is ineffective and needs to be refined in order to strengthen the health of instructor officers, increase their efficiency and, in general, improve the effectiveness of training future police officers at higher education institutions.
