physical education

In the modern educational environment, students inevitably face increased academic workload, stress, and emotional strain, which may negatively affect their psycho-emotional state. Regular physical activity, strength training in particular, contributes to maintaining psychological well-being. The purpose of the research is to analyze contemporary scientific studies devoted to the effects of strength training on the students’ psycho-emotional state.

The paper examines the specific features of physical education for students of music universities, identifying key issues related to limited physical activity and occupationally determined diseases. Based on the analysis of practical experience and the results of pedagogical observations, the study proposes some ways to optimize physical education for music students.

The article addresses the issue of declining motivation and functional indicators of physical fitness among senior students using Saratov State University as a case study.

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.
