The impact of orienteering on university students

the article examines the impact of orienteering on students throughout their studies at the university. Independent choice of specialization at the Siberian Federal University is available to each student during six semesters of study of applied physical education and sports. Since orienteering is a unique sport, the positive impact of which affects not only physical qualities, but also intellectual abilities. Having analyzed and studied numerous studies, it was found that when choosing specializations, very few students devote training to one sport. This determined the goal of our study, which was to study the impact of orienteering classes on students and physical indicators during 6 academic semesters depending on the frequency of changing specializations within the framework of a sports discipline at the university. Results. To do this, it was necessary to track the dynamics of the development of physical qualities considered as control standards in students: who chose orienteering as a specialization in the discipline and did not change it during the entire period of study; who changed the discipline after the first academic semester, regardless of the specializations they had chosen earlier; who chose the discipline for only two academic semesters, for the first and sixth semesters with a break of 4 semesters of completing the course at the university. Conclusion. This experiment allowed us to identify positive dynamics of general endurance and development of physical qualities in students involved in orienteering in applied physical education and sports classes at the university. This requires constant improvement in the chosen form and maintenance of physical data of continuous skills in the educational process of one educational and training direction.
