ABSTRACT

Quarantine restrictions of COVID-19 and the transition to distance learning have significantly affected the ability of teachers to conduct physical education classes and develop functional and motor abilities of students. Establishing the state of physical health of students allows the teacher to systematize the received information and, based on it, make a choice of forms, methods and means of physical education. 889 students aged 17-19, who studied for the 1st year at Khmelnytskyi Humanitarian-Pedagogical Academy (697 women and 192 men) took part in the research. The goal is to conduct a comparative analysis of changes in physical health indicators of students after the end of the quarantine of СОVID-19. Methods: analysis of scientific and methodological sources; survey; pedagogical observation; methods of studying the functional state of students; comparative analysis; methods of mathematical statistics. Results: women showed the following changes: increase in body weight (BW) +4.09%; increase in chest girth (ChG) +5.2%; decreased vital capacity of the lungs (VC) -4.51%; deterioration of the life index (LI) -8.77%; deterioration of the index of the reserve and the efficiency of the cardiovascular system (IR) +5.81%; increase in the rate of recovery of the cardiovascular system after physical exertion (RI) +7.93%. Men showed: increase in body weight (BW) +3.71%; increase in chest girth (ChG) +3.22%; decreased vital capacity of the lungs (VC) -3.36%; deterioration of the life index (LI) -6.84%; deterioration of the index of the reserve and the efficiency of the cardiovascular system (IR) +6.88%; increase in the rate of recovery of the cardiovascular system after physical exertion (RI) +7.31%. Conclusions: the comprehensive comparative analysis of the average statistical indicators of young people's state of health showed anthropometric, functional and morphofunctional changes in students' state of health, which indicate the appearance of excess weight, the deterioration of indicators of the work of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and as a result – decrease in the energetic potential of working capacity of girls and boys.
