SELF-CONTROL AS A FACTOR IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRENGTH TRAINING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

The article examines the role of self-control as an important factor in improving the effectiveness of strength training for higher education students. In the context of physical education, self-control contributes to the formation of a responsible attitude towards one's own health and the acquisition of knowledge and skills for independent physical exercise in the future. The essence of self-control is considered, which consists in consciously observing and evaluating one's physical condition, level of physical activity, and training results in order to optimize them and increase the effectiveness of strength training, in particular, keeping a self-control diary, recording physical activity indicators, and assessing the functional state of the body. The purpose of the study was to substantiate and experimentally verify the effectiveness of implementing self-control techniques for higher education students during strength training. The methods included analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scientific and methodological literature on the problem of organizing self-control in higher education students, a pedagogical experiment, a survey to determine the level of self-control skills, testing of physical indicators, observation, and methods of mathematical statistics. The study was organized and conducted in three consecutive stages to determine the role of self-control in the effectiveness of strength training for higher education students. At the ascertaining stage, it was established that higher education students had an insufficient level of awareness of methods for monitoring the functional state of the body and adjusting physical activity. During the formative stage, it was proven that the systematic provision of theoretical knowledge and practical training in self-control methods contributes to increasing awareness of the training process and improving strength and strength endurance indicators. A comparative analysis of the results before and after the study shows positive dynamics in higher education students who applied elements of self-control during strength training. The data obtained allow us to conclude that the introduction of selfcontrol methods is an effective means of optimizing strength training in higher education institutions.
