Title: Formation of readiness of future physical culture teachers for professional activity Authors: Dovgan, N. et al. Description: The article substantiates the experimental program of the formation of future physical culture teachers’ readiness for professional activity at school. The level of the students’ motivation for physical and health care activities was found out; the level of physical fitness of students was examined; the levels of activity component formation of the students were determined. The investigation was conducted in Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in 2016–2018. 364 students of the faculty of physical education took part in the investigation. The students were tested through the next exercises: for male students – 100-m race, pull-ups, 3000-m race; for female students – 100-m race, push-ups, 2000-m race. Research methods: conceptual and comparative analysis, structural and systematic analysis, synthesis, generalization, testing, questionnaire survey, observation, experiment, statistical analysis. At the end of the experiment, the level of physical qualities was found to be significantly better (p<0.001) among the students of EG, in comparison to CG. It is determined that the number of the students of EG who have a high level of the activity component of the future physical culture teachers’ readiness is increased at the end of the experiment comparing to CG, that proves the efficiency of the experimental program.

Title: Students' health and its interrelation with physical fitness level Authors: Prontenko, K.; Griban, G.; Dovgan, N.; Loiko, O.; Andreychuk, V.; Tkachenko, P.; Dzenzeliuk, D.; Bloshchynskyi, I. Description: The level and dynamics of students’ physical health during the 1st and the 2nd years of studying at a Ukrainian higher educational institution are investigated in this article, and the interrelation between the indicators of students’ health and physical fitness is defined. Seventy-three students of Zhytomyr National Agroecological University (38 male and 35 female students) took part in the investigation. The level of the students’ physical health was evaluated according to the methodology of Professor Apanasenko based on the anthropometry indicators (body weight and lengths, lung capacity, wrist power) and the state of the cardiovascular system (heart rate, blood pressure, heart rate recovery). It has been determined that the physical health level of both male and female students did not improve during the 1st and the 2nd years of studying; more than 80% of the students (both men and women) have below middle and low levels of health; the overall points are measured by 2.31–3.27 points. It indicates the lack of the efficiency of the current system of physical education at Ukrainian higher educational institutions and the necessity of the search for the means of its improvement. The correlation analysis defined an authentic interrelation (p<0.05) between the students’ physical fitness level and the indicators of their health. Most of the authentic correlation connections are defined due to the results in the endurance and power exercises.

Title: Current state of students' health and its improvement in the process of physical education Authors: Dovgan, N. et al. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The aim is to investigate the state of health of the students of Ukrainian higher education institutions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study of state of health was conducted at Polissia National University and Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in 2008-2019. The results of a medical examination of 3737 students of different faculties between the ages of 17 and 22 were examined. Medical examinations were conducted by the doctors of the medical centers of universities. Totally 1208 pupils (male and female) of the schools of Zhytomyr region were involved in the questionnaire, which was conducted to analyze the attendance of physical education classes by pupils while studying at school. 648 students of Polissia National University participated in the study of the self-assessment of their own health, causes, and structure of disease incidence, the dynamics of the loss of labor capacity. RESULTS: Results: It was established that from 24 to 30.8 % of the students had diseases and a low level of physical development that indicated a low level of physical education at schools. It was revealed that the number of sick students was increasing during the study at higher educational institutions (HEI) that led to missing classes. Besides, up to 35.5 % of students had health disorders and belonged to a special medical group. And 1.7 % of the students had chronic diseases and disabilities and were exempted from sports. It was found that physical education and sports took the 5th place in the system of life values of male students and the 12th place in the system of life values of female students. CONCLUSION: Conclusions:Physical education, aimed at enhancing the functional capacity of an organism, the development of physical qualities, the improvement of the special physical and technical readiness in the sphere of physical activity types and the acquisition of professionally applied skills and abilities, is the basis for strengthening the health of students of Ukraine.

Title: Formation of psychophysical readiness of cadets for future professional activity Authors: Dovgan, N. et al. Abstract: The experience of combat operations conducting in the eastern part of Ukraine in 2014-2020 convincingly demonstrated the need to increase the requirements for professional training of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Physical training is one of the main subjects of professional training and an important means of psychophysical readiness formation of servicemen of various military specialties for modern extreme professional and combat activities. The aim of the study is to examine the efficiency of the experimental academic program of the discipline of Physical Education, and Special Physical Training concerning the formation of psychophysical readiness of cadets of technical higher military educational institutions for future professional and combat activity. The study was conducted at S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr Military Institute. 120 male cadets participated in the experiment. An experimental group (EG), which consisted of the cadets who were studying according to the experimental working academic program of the discipline (n=60), and a control group (CG), which included the cadets studying according to the current working academic program of the discipline (n=60) were formed. The criteria of the efficiency of the experimental program are determined to be the indicators of general and special physical fitness of cadets and the level of professionally important psychological qualities. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. It was discovered that conducting classes according to the experimental program contributed to the improvement of the level of development of the cadets’ special physical qualities, mastering military-applied skills, the formation of professionally important psychological qualities. The most significant changes in EG cadets occurred in overcoming obstacle course, holding the angle on parallel bars, holding the body in a horizontal position, tests for determination of attention distribution and volume, mental performance – at the end of the experiment, and the indicators of EG cadets were significantly (p˂0.05-0.001) better than those of CG.It proves the necessity of correcting the academic program of Physical Education and Special Physical Training for senior cadets with the aim of their psychophysical readiness formation for future professional and combat activity.
