In the "Zoomer" generation, there is a frequent occurrence noted by many scholars of a certain tendency towards a "clip" worldview, leading to the necessity of having large arrays of alternative content resources for consumption – the opportunity for choice. The purpose of the study is to explore alternative options for normative diagnostics, taking into account the independent choice of norms for assessment by students, in accordance with the postulates of the psychological and pedagogical approach in higher education. Research methods and organization. Methods of analytical selection and synthesis of data from literary sources, pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics were employed. The study involved 80 students from four faculties. The research lasted for one academic year. Research results and conclusions. During the study, gender differences in the results of normative diagnostics were confirmed for the majority of selected standards. Among the most preferred alternative standards, in addition to "30-second Sit-up" and "30-second Jump Rope," there was a standard from the "Ready for Labor and Defense" complex called "Flexibility." It was found that students are not interested in using normative diagnostics to differentiate social and professional life skills as stated in the Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Education.

The purpose of the study is to identify the reasons for the reduction of the teacher's contact work with students during practical classes. Research methods and organization. An analysis of the planning and calculation of the academic load for the elective discipline in physical culture and sports has been conducted in several universities in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Research results and conclusions. The best models for planning the academic load have been identified.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of modern tournaments ("Games of the Future") on the formation of students' desire to engage in modern sports within the educational process of physical culture and sports in higher education institutions. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and conclusions. Improving the quality of education is one of the urgent tasks of the Russian education system. Currently, education is the main tool for strategic management for the prospective socio-economic development of our country, and its modernization must take into account the characteristics of Russian society. The article notes that our state allocates significant funds for the organization of international tournaments, such as the Olympics, the World Cup in football, the Universiade, and the "Games of the Future." In the first stage of the research, the desire of students enrolled in various universities in Russia (Samara State University of Economics, Volga State Transport University, and Volgograd Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) to engage in modern, new, and unusual sports was analyzed. The next stage examined what influenced their choice and how the sports tournaments broadcast in the Russian Federation assisted them in this regard. The activities of university instructors and their readiness to master new modern sports were also considered. It has been concluded that the influence of modern tournaments, especially in fidgetal sports, on student youth has led to a desire among them to engage in new types of sports within the educational process of physical culture and sports. The presence of experienced specialists, good organizers, and creative workers in the departments of physical education, along with a transition to modern sports, will enable these departments to enhance the quality of the educational process in physical culture.

The purpose of the study is to optimize the educational process at the university by analyzing the dynamics of students' motivation for independent running training, including the completion of tests and trials of the All-Russian Physical Culture and Sports Complex, as well as analyzing the effectiveness of completing educational assignments by female students. Research methods and organization. The methods of analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, content analysis, methods of mathematical statistics, and surveys in Google Forms were utilized. Students of MAI from the 1st to 3rd years were surveyed. Research results and conclusions. A trend has been identified indicating a decrease in students' interest in running compared to the same period of the 2023-2024 academic year, as well as low performance in independent running tests and trials among women. Only 42.3% of female students in the 1st to 3rd years complete all assignments. The results obtained indicate the necessity of paying special attention to motivating students to engage in running and acquiring the corresponding knowledge, skills, and competencies during their university education. The reasons for the negative trends in the decline of interest in running training and its quality deterioration in 2024 are associated with both changes in the market for running applications for mobile devices and insufficiently competent physical education teaching in schools and other secondary educational institutions.

The high achievements identified as a result of the analysis of the implementation indicators of the Strategy-2030 by the end of 2023 indicate the effectiveness of the measures taken by the state within the framework of this strategy. Based on the results of the conducted research, it can be concluded that the implementation of the "Strategy for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in Russia until 2030" is progressing successfully. The indicators of intermediate results as of 2023 appear to be quite optimistic.

To maintain the interest of young people in competitive physical culture and sports activities, it is necessary to study the factors influencing their choice of mass sports events. The purpose of the study is to assess the functional state of the bodies of young men who participated in a competition based on the rules of the musical computer game "Beat Saber" in virtual reality, with varying emotional responses to the completion of competitive tasks. Research methods and organization: analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature, functional diagnostics, surveys, pulse measurement, mathematical and statistical processing of results. The study was conducted at the student fidgetal laboratory of the Nizhnevartovsk State University with the participation of young men who do not engage in sports and participated in the intra-university competition VR "Beat Saber." Research results and conclusions. The functional state of the bodies of participants in the VR competition, whose mood improved after the VR "Beat Saber," is characterized by high indicators of adaptation to physical load, training, and energy supply. The tense functioning of the body, confirmed by the results of the study of the state of vegetative balance based on heart rate indicators, is a factor that contributes to the deterioration of the emotional state of the competitor during the performance of competitive tasks, even with a high motivation to participate in the competition. The obtained results should be taken into account when planning physical education and sports activities at the university.

The purpose of the study is to determine the possibilities of using the Bosco and Shishkina tests to assess various forms of endurance manifestation among students in the graduating classes of Suvorov military schools throughout the academic year. Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, and mathematical statistics were employed. The study was conducted in the eleventh grades of the Yekaterinburg Suvorov Military School and the Tver Suvorov Military Order of Honor School. Research results and conclusions. Reliable correlational relationships have been identified between the average power of repeated jumps in the Bosco test and the results of all running tests among the subjects of Suvorov military schools, as well as the percentage content of slow motor units. The Bosco test can be used as an integral indicator of the development of various forms of endurance manifestation among students in the graduating classes of Suvorov military schools. The Bosco test is more informative than the standard "400 m run" for assessing the level of development of speed-strength endurance of the leg muscles in students of the graduating classes of Suvorov military schools. The modified test by A.V. Shishkina for determining the flight time of jumps can be used to assess the inclination of leg muscles towards maximum manifestation of speed-strength endurance in students of the graduating classes of Suvorov military schools. The composition of muscle fibers in the quadriceps does not significantly affect the results of the standards that determine the readiness of Suvorov school students for admission and training in military higher educational institutions.

The purpose of the study is to assess the characteristics of physical fitness among students in grades 5 to 9 with varying academic performance based on the analysis of their self-assessment results. Research methods and organization. In March 2024, an online survey was conducted among students in grades 5-9. The students evaluated their level of physical fitness as well as their academic performance. Research results and conclusions. It has been established that children with low levels of physical fitness more frequently exhibited satisfactory academic performance, including in the subject of "Physical Culture," and less frequently demonstrated excellent academic performance. Conversely, children with high levels of physical fitness more often exhibited excellent academic performance and less frequently satisfactory academic performance. Thus, there is a correlation between academic performance and physical fitness among students in grades 5-9. This data can be used to justify the need to foster motivation for physical culture and sports among children and adolescents.

The purpose of the study is to justify the concept of integral training for athletes within the system of long-term sports training. Research methods and organization. The method of theoretical research was used to analyze the concepts of integral training in literary sources. Research results. The concept of integral training in the system of long-term sports training has been developed. The leading idea of the concept is the formation, improvement, and preservation of connections between types of sports training: physical, technical, tactical, and psychological – within the system of long-term sports training. In working with athletes, two parts have been identified – analytical and integral, and their relationship at a specific stage of athlete preparation is presented. Goals and objectives have been formulated, and means and methods of integral training for each stage of the long-term training process have been justified. Criteria for the integral preparedness of athletes at each stage have been defined, indicating the productivity of the integral training of athletes. Conclusions: 1) a concept of integral training in sports has been developed; 2) the relationship between the analytical and integral components in the training process at each stage of long-term sports training has been substantiated; 3) a generalized conceptual model of integral training in sports has been presented, which includes: tasks, means, methods, and criteria for integral training at each stage of long-term sports training.

The purpose of the study is to determine the strategy of the USA, Italy and Brazil teams for winning medals at the Paris Olympics and to compare it with the results demonstrated by these teams at the 2023 World Championships. Research methods and organization: The methods used include analysis and generalization of the results of the main competitions - the 2023 World Championships, the 2024 European Championships, the series of qualifying tournaments for the 2024 United States Olympic team and the Olympic Games; expert evaluation and judging of the 2024 Russian Cup; statistical processing and comparison of the obtained materials. Research results and conclusions. It has been determined that the strategies for forming national teams that became the best at the Paris Olympics differ significantly. The teams from Italy and Brazil have a rather "narrow circle" of candidates and were forced to compete with practically the same lineups at the 2023 World Championships and the 2024 Olympics. The United States has a "broad circle" of candidates for inclusion in the main roster. Therefore, there exists a multi-stage selection system. In the USA team the "second number" holds significant importance, as she should be able to compete for the first place in the all-around final in case of an unsuccessful performance of the leader.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the sports results of leading female weightlifters on the world stage at the 2024 Olympic Games in France and the Russian Championship in Novosibirsk. Research methods and organization. The study employed methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, examination of competition protocols, and methods of mathematical statistics. Based on the sports results of elite weightlifters at the world and Russian levels, the authors conducted a comparative analysis of the winning kilograms they achieved at the Olympic tournament in Paris and at the national championship in Novosibirsk. Research results and conclusions. The identified lag of domestic female athletes during the research provides grounds for an objective assessment of the situation in which they find themselves at this specific moment in time. The current situation in elite sports within the national teams of Russia across all sports has had a most negative impact on the training system for the strongest athletes in preparation for the main event of the four-year cycle – the Olympic Games.

One of the important areas of contemporary research is the study of the concept of psychological well-being. Psychological well-being is interpreted by researchers as a multi-component construct that includes psychological, physical, cultural, spiritual, and social parameters. Psychological well-being is, above all, a subjective reality that is reflected in an individual's well-being and self-relationship. The purpose of the study is to identify the differences in the level of psychological well-being between non-athletes and athletes, particularly those engaged in martial arts (using taekwondo as an example). Research methods and organization. The sample of the study consisted of students from the 2nd to 4th years of universities in Saint Petersburg. The level of psychological well-being was measured using the "Psychological Well-Being Scale" questionnaire. The mathematical processing of the data was carried out using the Mann-Whitney criterion. Research results and conclusions. As a result of the study, it has been established that engaging in sports has a positive impact on an individual's psychological well-being, regardless of the type of sport practiced. Among men, the average level of psychological well-being of taekwondo athletes is lower than that of athletes in other sports, while among women, taekwondo athletes exhibit a higher level of psychological well-being compared to athletes in other sports. The average levels of psychological well-being among non-athlete women are below the norm. The differences between non-athletes and taekwondo athletes are observed at a high level of significance, as are the differences between non-athletes and athletes in other sports. At the same time, the data of the study of taekwondo athletes and other athletes do not differ at the level of statistical significance.

The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristic features of a mother's attitude towards a child with intellectual disabilities in comparison to a mother of a child with normal psychological development. Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of literary sources, surveys, questionnaires, and interviews, as well as methods of mathematical statistics, were employed. The study was conducted over a period of two years with the participation of 120 mothers. Research results and conclusions. The study revealed statistically significant differences in the emotional-evaluative, cognitive, and behavioral parameters of the mother's attitude towards a child with intellectual disabilities compared to a child with normal psychological development. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the mothers of children with intellectual disabilities, on one hand, suppress the child's willful and emotional expressions, particularly aggression. On the other hand, they strive to accelerate the child's maturation process by developing their activity. Difficulties arise in expressing empathy and emotional support for the child with intellectual disabilities, with a predominance of a negative emotional background and uncertainty in solving problems related to the child's upbringing. Unlike the mothers of children with normal psychological development, they seek to ensure the child's safety and protection, demonstrate physical contact and empathy, focus on the child, while at the same time intruding into their personal space. The article outlines the prospects for further research.
