Students health in the context of physical education and sports

Abstract

The article presents a literary analysis and own data obtained as a result of the ascertaining experiment on the state of health of student youth in the framework of a comprehensive study of the influence of sports loads on the motivation of sports in the student environment of a higher educational institution. The state of health of first-year students aged 17 to 21 years of various universities in Kazakhstan in the direction of general and subject pedagogy, as well as a specialized university (Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism) was investigated. The period of the ascertaining experiment was three years (2018-2020). In our opinion, higher educational institutions need to revise their approaches to the organization of the educational process in order to help students in self-development aimed at: 1) improving physical abilities; 2) physical education and sports; 3) maintaining a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, in the first place it is necessary to put forward the formation, preservation and strengthening of youth health by the students themselves, through the prism of motivation by physical culture and sports.
