Components of positive impact of exposure on university physical culture and sports on students' physical activity

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of activities performed by teachers and administrative personnel of higher education institutions to create and make the best use of the physical culture and sports environment in higher education establishments. It was revealed that this environment should rest on the following structural components: rating scales for athletic performance evaluation of students and contemporary methods for teaching physical education lessons at universities. The efficiency of using rating score systems to measure the athletic performance of students was confirmed by a significant increase (P<0.01) in the number of young people who participate in PE and sports on a regular basis and who take part in competitions of various levels. The application of cardio and strength training programs (HOT IRON) in physical education lessons has proved effective for students as well. The students in the experimental group significantly improved their muscle power (P<0.01) and overall endurance (0.05). These programs can also be applied for effective body shaping and obesity prevention.
