Optimization of motor activity among international students during adaptation to higher education in a Russian university
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to justify and develop a set of measures using physical culture resources aimed at expanding the functional capacities of international students and ensuring successful integration into a new social environment. Research methods and organization. Analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, questionnaires, assessment of the functional state of the body using the Stange, Gench, and Ruffier-Dickson tests, pedagogical experiments, and methods of mathematical statistics were applied. The study was conducted at the Tyumen State Medical University. The subjects were Russian and international students who had begun their studies at the university. Research results and conclusions. Russian students are characterized by a more rational daily routine and the lowest sleep deficit during the period of adaptation to university conditions. International students pay a higher "price" for adaptation: one in five students sleeps less than 5 hours, systematically experiencing sleep deprivation. This has reflected in the indicators of the functional state of international students' bodies. Active use of various forms of physical activity in the daily routine by students can be considered a constructive strategy for overcoming stress associated with relocation and adaptation to new conditions. The inclusion of traditional health-promoting physical activities in physical education classes for international students, combined with the rational organization of leisure time, and the establishment of contacts with Russian peers through joint sports and wellness activities, contributes to the expansion of students' functional capabilities and ensures successful integration into the new social environment.
