Interrelation of students' motor activity and physical state as a basis for determining individual health-improving motor regimen

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the interrelation between motor activity and the physical state of students.

Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted in 2023-2024, involved 168 students (86 girls and 82 boys) aged 17-18. The following indicators were studied: motor activity indicator according to the Framingham method, body mass index, Rufier index, body balance index using the Romberg test, speed index, indicator of speed and strength abilities, agility indicator, strength indicator, strength endurance indicator, flexibility indicator, endurance indicator. Results: The dependence of morphological and functional indicators and indicators of physical development of the student's body on the level of weekly motor activity, including the amount of time spent directly on physical exercises, has been established. It has been found that the Ruder index has the strongest correlation relationship with motor activity, and therefore can be considered an informative indicator of the physical state of young people.

Conclusions: The interrelation of a high level of students' motor activity with the level of physical state as well as morphological and functional indicators of their body development has been established. The identified correlation relationships can form the basis for planning the nature and direction of the content of motor loads in the process of students' physical exercises by gender.
