FORMING THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION AS THE MAIN FACTOR IN INCREASING THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS
It is known that in recent years there has been a steady deterioration in the health and physical condition of young students in Russia. The article presents the results of the study of indicators of physical development and physical and functional preparedness of students and compares the data obtained with normative requirements. The results of the experiment show that the physical fitness of the first-year students is below the requirements of the university curriculum, and their physical development and functional fitness are generally in line with the normative data. The results of the experiment do not support the view of the researchers that the increasing intensity of the educational process in higher education leads to a decrease in the functional state of the body systems and physical fitness of the young students.
