FORMATION OF STUDENTS' HEALTH CULTURE IN THE PROCESS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH RECREATION ACTIVITIES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To check the e!ectiveness of the methodology for the formation of students' health culture in the process of their physical education and health recreation activities. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The following methods were used to achieve the aim: analysis, synthesis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical observation, questionnaires, testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. 368 students took part in the ascertaining experiment, 93 students were involved in the formative experiment (52 - experimental group, 41 - control group). RESULTS: Results: The existing level of health culture formedness in students was revealed to be insu"cient, which stipulated the development and substantiation of the methodology for the formation of students' health culture in the process of their physical education and health recreation activities. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The implementation of the methodology for students' health culture formation into the educational process contributed to an increase in the number of students with a high level of health culture and the level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle. The level of physical #tness of the experimental group students signi#cantly improved during the experiment. All this con#rms the e!ectiveness of the developed methodology.

MORPHOFUNCTIONAL STATUS OF INSTRUCTORS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS DURING THEIR PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITIES.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To research the morphofunctional status of instructors of higher educational institutions of di"erent age groups in the process of their pedagogical activities. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The research was conducted in the period from 2019 to 2021. The research involved 126 instructor offcers (men) of different age groups: under 30 years of age - 21 people, 31-35 years of age - 27 people, 36-40 years of age - 32 people, 41-45 years of age - 27 people, over 45 years of age - 19 people. Morphofunctional status of the instructor offcers was assessed by the indicators of their height, body weight, lung vital capacity, wrist dynamometry, heart rate, blood pressure and relevant indices. RESULTS: Results: It was found that during the study (2019-2020) the Kettle index, vital index, strength index, Robinson index and duration of recovery processes deteriorated among instructor offcers of all age groups. However, in instructor offcers of 36-40, 41-45 and over 45 years of age most of indices deteriorated reliably (P < 0.05). The values of the studied indices are below average or low in most instructors of all age groups, most instructors are overweight. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It was found that the level of morphofunctional status of the instructional sta" is insuffcient to perform the tasks of their pedagogical activities. Rationally organized health-improving physical training sessions, taking into account the age group, morphofunctional status of instructors and the time of training sessions during the working day can be an effective way to solve this problem.
