Physical activity as a key factor in shaping the mental state of university students

the study considers a comprehensive approach to analyzing the impact of the physical form of university students, as well as the mental aspects of personality on the dynamics of the psychological state during different stages of education. Modern student youth is an age segment, a period of late adolescence or early adulthood according to the life stages of classifications. The lack of an unambiguous definition highlights the complex psychological picture of this period in the context of modern socio-demographic changes. In this age range, the peak development of both physical and mental personality traits is usually reached. However, WHO data indicate an alarming trend: students in this group often suffer from low physiological stability, occupying leading positions in the incidence of hypertension, tachycardia, diabetes mellitus and neuropsychiatric disorders. The main triggers of these problems are extreme psychological stress during studies, especially during periods of intense tests and exams, which negatively affects the health of students. University education places significant demands on the intellectual and emotional resources of students. Under conditions of increased stress, reinforced by social factors and the characteristics of this age group – often the most talented and motivated students – the risk of developing psychopathologies increases significantly. This highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to maintaining the health of students, including not only educational aspects, but also physical and mental well-being.
