Analysis of students' somatic health and emotional state during sports games classes

Abstract

The aim: Is to investigate the impact of sports games (football) on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students in the process of studying. Results: At the end of the study, the EG students showed a significantly better level of somatic health than the CG students; the difference was significant and accounted for 3.18 points (p<0.001). At the same time, during the study, the EG students had a more pronounced significant increase in all studied health indicators (p<0.001). The best emotional state level of the students of both groups was recorded at the end of the study, but in the EG students it was significantly (p<0.05) better than in the CG students by 0.55-0.73 points. Conclusions: It was found that sports games classes, including football, had a positive effect on the level of somatic health and emotional state of students. Significant changes were observed in the performance of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of students. The high level of somatic health and good emotional state of students will help to improve mastering academic disciplines at higher education institutions, provide preparation for active life and help to improve future professional activities.
