DYNAMICS OF INDICATORS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS OF STUDENTS OF THE MEDICAL ACADEMY ENTERING THE FIRST YEAR
The article presents up-to-date information indicating the physical fitness of students studying in the first year of the Medical Academy. The study was conducted on the basis of tests that characterize physical motor activity, and the analysis of scientific and methodological literature. The authors evaluated the level of physical fitness of students entering the first year of the Izhevsk State Medical Academy, based on the results of passing mandatory tests: running 100 m (boys and girls) - characterizes speed, running 2 km (girls) and 3 km (boys) - characterizes endurance; long jump from a standing position-characterizes dynamic strength; flexion-extension of the arms in the hang on the crossbar (boys) - characterizes strength endurance; lifting the torso from the "lying" position to the "sitting" position, arms crossed on the chest, legs bent at an angle of 45 degrees " number of times in 1 min (girls)- characterizes speed-strength endurance. Each of the tests is evaluated on a 5-point scale. Thus, the authors used these tests to assess the level of development of speed, general endurance, explosive abilities of the muscles of the lower extremities, as well as to determine the level of strength endurance of the muscles of the upper extremities and the abdominal press. As a result of the conducted search research and analysis of the results of generally accepted pedagogical tests, it was found that young students who entered the first year of study at the Izhevsk State Medical Academy have a level of physical fitness below average, girlsan average level according to the program of regulatory requirements. The resulting search information allows you to identify problems and plan a further search for the right ways to improve the educational process in the construction of physical education classes.
