physical education

In modern conditions of the educational process, students face physical inactivity and lack of time, which reduces the effectiveness of traditional forms of physical education. High-intensity interval training is a promising direction that allows achieving significant adaptive effects in a short period of time. The theoretical analysis and systematization of scientific data on the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training for the student population are a necessary step to justify their implementation in the educational process.

This article examines the current problem of preserving and strengthening the health of students in higher education through the introduction of health-saving technologies in physical education classes. We analyse modern methods, approaches and practical strategies aimed at creating safe and motivating educational environment that promotes not only increased physical fitness, but also the formation of sustainable healthy lifestyle skills.

This article traces the evolution of higher education regulation – from a rigid centralized model with uniform standards and strict oversight to gradual decentralization, expanded university autonomy, and the introduction of internal quality assurance procedures, accreditation mechanisms, and independent evaluation.

The article examines physical education as an important component in implementing social and educational function of the modern university. It is noted that physical culture within the educational environment performs not only a health-improving but also a significant social and educational role, contributing to the development of students’ health culture, self-discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and readiness for civic engagement.

The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the system of professional training of students in the context of modern labor market requirements, which impose increased demands on the psychophysical potential of university graduates. The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the pedagogical conditions for developing professionally significant qualities of students by means of physical education.

The article presents a report on the Strategic Session “ROSSTUDSPORT: White Nights”, by Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation on June 19–20, 2025 at ITMO University.

Posturology is the study of human body balance. Stabilometry platforms are used to assess balance function in medicine and for training in physical education and sports. Stabilotraining, combining physical activity and computer technology, is well-suited for the concept of the phygital movement. In educational institutions, stabilotraining can be used in both physical education classes and phygital tournaments. This article describes the implementation of a student project of creating a stability trainer.

The modern digitalization of society requires a revision of the physical education system at the technical universities, where traditional methods do not develop professional competencies in demand of digital economy, such as strategic thinking, reaction speed, and skills in operating technical systems. This article examines phygital sports – an innovative approach combining physical activity and digital technologies (VR, AR, drones, robots).
