Abstract:

Nowadays considerable health indices decrease among students, who study at higher educational establishments, is conditioned by several factors. One of them is insufficient resistance of students’ organism to different kinds of cold. It make students’ immune system weaker. It contradicts the objectives of “Physical upbringing” subject at higher educational establishments: students’ health strengthening, students’ physical development indices improvement. Great changes caused by social-economic, political and educational reality demand new, scientifically substantiated approaches to the system of physical upbringing among students. Materials. The article considers the necessity to include conditioning procedure (strengthens health, increases organism resistance to U.R.I. (upper respiratory infections)) into the content of students’ independent physical education lessons. For this purpose we carried out the experiment among students, who study at different faculties. The experiment organization, its results are presented in the article. Research methods. Information sources analysis and summarizing; progressive pedagogical experience, documents and program material of “Physical education” subject at higher educational establishments summarizing; questionnaire survey; testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. As a results of the held experiment we revealed that the period of complete conditioning of the whole body achievement with maximum cold water among each respondent of the experimental group was individual. It depended on cold influence resistance. At the end of the experiment the cases of U.R.I. decreased, including such symptoms as high body temperature, among the respondents from the experimental group in comparison with the respondents from the control group. Conclusion. Conditioning procedures, which were used by students of the experimental group in independent physical education lessons, helped to strengthen health of students during the year. They increased students’ resistance to cold influence, which finally led to U.R.I. level decrease among students, who study at different faculties of the University.
