THE USE OF TECHNOLOGIES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Aim. The paper was aimed at forming a motivation- and value-based attitude toward health, a healthy lifestyle, and physical education among female university students by means of information and communication technologies integrated into PE activities. Material and methods. The study consisted of 3 stages, which took place from 2016 to 2020, and involved 250 female students of the Irkutsk State University (control and experimental groups, n = 125 in each group). Health examination integrated sociological methods and monitoring technologies. Results. The comparative analysis between a motivation- and value-based attitude toward a healthy lifestyle and physical health demonstrated close relationships between these parameters, especially in the 3rd year of study. In this period, in the experimental group, activityoriented female students were noted (13.3%), along with an increased number of rationality-oriented female students (69.3%), which confirmed well-formed motivation- and value-based attitudes. In the experimental group, a significant (. < 0.05) increase in vital capacity and wrist strength measurements, weight loss, a decrease in HR at rest, and a decrease in diastolic BP were confirmed, as well as an increase (. < 0.05-0.001) in all movement qualities. Conclusions. The use of this experimental pedagogical technology in the physical education of female university students contributed to the continuous development of their motivationand value-based attitudes toward health, a healthy lifestyle, and physical education. In 3rd-year students, increased motivation measurements in the experimental group were accompanied by improvements in physical health. Therefore, the attitude of students toward their health was considered an important factor in health regulation.
