Comparative analysis of indicators of morpho-functional status and physical fitness of students

The work compares the indicators of physical condition of the first-year students of the architectural and technical faculties and proves the necessity of making appropriate changes to the curriculum in the discipline of "Physical Education" for the second-year students. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of data, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, anthropometric research methods, functional methods of cardio-respiratory system research and methods of mathematical statistics. It was found out that most of the physical development indicators of the girls surveyed are in compliance with the normative, and do not need additional influence or deliberate correction of body weight. In addition, the necessity to make additional changes to the curricula of different faculties in the discipline of "Physical Education" for the students during their second year of study was substantiated: − in classes of “Physical Education” for technical faculties, it is necessary to deliberately develop the speed qualities and the explosive strength of the lower limbs; − in classes of “Physical Education” for the students of the faculty of Architecture, the emphasis should be put on the development of endurance, as well as to further development of the strength of the upper limbs. In the course of the study it was proved that the students can get physical education according to the curricula of the second-year students of low-level physical fitness and do not require any special rehabilitation measures and significant restrictions in the training process.
