Improving the physical qualities of 1st year students who take elective courses in physical education (athletics) with the help of mesocycles

this work is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of the use of mesocycles in the training sessions of first-year students in the discipline "Elective courses in physical culture and sports" (athletics). The relevance of the research is due to the need to improve methodological approaches to physical training of students, given the lack of a clear scientific basis in existing training programs. The modern educational environment places high demands on the quality of training for young professionals, including the development of motor skills and maintaining an optimal level of physical activity. That is why there is an urgent need to develop scientifically based approaches to the organization of the educational and training process, allowing students to prepare qualitatively for future professional activities and active participation in sports events. The purpose of the study was to develop and test the effectiveness of a mesocycle model designed for first-year students studying athletics. To achieve this goal, the authors conducted several studies that included monitoring students' physical fitness, determining the degree of adaptation to stress, and identifying the effectiveness of the proposed model. The following methods were used during the study: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, experimental research, control tests and monitoring of the physical condition of students. The main results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the developed mesocycle model. There was a significant improvement in the physical fitness of students, an increase in athletic performance and a decrease in injury rates. This model can be recommended for implementation in educational institutions to improve the quality of the educational process in elective subjects and support the sustainable development of physical activity among young people.
