The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of internet addiction on the development indicators of students' physical qualities and to identify the main patterns of this process. The study of this issue becomes particularly significant in the context of promoting a healthy lifestyle and preventing the negative consequences of excessive use of digital technologies among the student population. Research methods and organization. Questionnaires, testing, monitoring of physical activity, methods of mathematical statistics, comparative and correlation analysis were applied. To conduct the diagnosis of Internet addiction, validated psychodiagnostic tools were used, including an adapted version of Kimberly Young's test. The study involved students aged 18-21 from three universities in the Samara region. Research results and conclusions. Statistically significant correlations were identified between the degree of Internet addiction and the indicators of physical development in students. It was found that an increase in the time spent in virtual space correlates with a decrease in the primary parameters of physical condition, including measures of strength, endurance, and flexibility. The study showed that the main factors mediating the negative impact of Internet addiction on students' physical health are reduced physical activity, disruption of daily routines, musculoskeletal problems, and changes in eating habits. Based on the obtained results, recommendations have been developed for preventing the negative consequences of Internet addiction, including the organization of regular physical activity, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and the creation of a favorable environment for sports activities.
