INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF AEROBICS LESSONS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS – WOULD-BE TEACHERS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING: GENDER ASPECT

Abstract

The article considers the possibility to us objective criteria at aerobics lessons with university students, which could increase the students’ competences in the sphere of health preservation and improvement. Cardio load was studied under various conditions of performing basic aerobic steps by male and female students. It was shown that it is possible to arrange health-improving, maintaining, developing and training regimes of physical load depending on the students’ level of physical development and training. The presented experimental data indicate different adaptation mechanisms in students depending on gender, which testifies to the necessity of differential approach when planning lessons with basic aerobic exercises for males and females. The authors come to the conclusionthat by using aerobic exercises it is possible to form the competence aimed at maintainingappropriate physical conditions, which is necessary for efficient fulfillment of educational and professional activity.
