| dc.description | AbstractThe purpose of the study was to determine the parameters of the physiological characteristics of young men with different somatotypes, which they achieved by performing physical activity in the conditions of the Covid-19 quarantine. Materials and methods. 39 young men aged 17.6±0.5, who had no restrictions in the use of different amounts of physical activity and belonged to different somatotypes, took part in the study. Somatotypes were diagnosed using the Shtefko-Ostrovsky method in the modification of S. Darskaja. To obtain the necessary data, well-known functional tests were used to establish blood pressure, heart rate in various states, vital capacity, vital capacity index, index maximum isometric strength, and Robinson index. We evaluated the parameters of these characteristics in representatives of each somatotype during the academic year and compared these parameters in different somatotypes. In the latter case, the results at the beginning (January) and at the end (May-June) of the study were used; they lasted for one academic year. Results. At the beginning, and to an even greater extent at the end of the school year, the parameters of the studied characteristics in the representatives of the existing somatotypes differed among themselves (p at the level from 0.05 to 0.0001). The volumes and conditions of physical activity used during the academic year led to the deterioration of the physiological characteristics of all young men. However, there were peculiarities caused by belonging to a certain somatotype. Conclusions. Establishing the specifics of changes in the parameters of the physiological characteristics of young freshmen, taking into account their somatotypes, is an important task for the modernization of physical education in a higher education institution. The obtained data contribute to the individualization of the substantive and normative foundations of physical education of young people, using for this purpose data on the manifestation and change of parameters in various characteristics, including physiological ones.Keywords: physiological characteristics, differentiation, students, physical activity, Covid-19.© Banakh, V., Iedynak, G., Sovtisik, D., Galamanzhuk, L., Bodnar, A., Blavt, O., Balatska, L., & Alieksieiev, O., 2023.IntroductionThe physical activity of students during their free time from studying is today considered the most effective means of solving physical education tasks in universities (Get Active, 2020; Global action plan on physical activity 2018-2030; Physical education, 2018). One of the reasons is that the number of physical education classes during the week, which are provided by the programs of the first and second years of study at the universities of Ukraine, does not provide the necessary effect in achieving the goal (Sliusarchuk et al., 2022; Chernenko et al., 2020; Solohubova et al., 2020). Another, but no less important, the reason is related to the peculiarities of the educational process in universities caused by the Covid-19 pandemic (Romero-Blanco et al., 2020; López-Valenciano et al., 2021; Piestrzyński et al., 2021). | uk_UA |
