Research objective. The aim of this study is to substantiate an approach to the physical training of part-time students based on a conscious self-assessment of their individual lifestyles and the subsequent design of personalized exercise routines that are seamlessly integrated into their daily lives.
Research methods and organization. The study was conducted with three groups of part-time students specializing in construction, ranging in size from 15 to 24 individuals (47 in total: 12 women and 35 men) aged 21 to 45 (mean age 33.8 years). The course workload was standard: 68 hours of independent study and 4 hours of in-person classes. A practice-oriented program for the "Physical Culture and Sport" discipline was developed, incorporating a quantitative self-assessment of lifestyle and the creation of personalized exercise routines tailored to individual characteristics. Methods of systems analysis, surveying, and pedagogical modeling were employed.
Research results and discussion. Key barriers hindering regular physical activity among part-time students were identified. The necessity of shifting from normative monitoring to personalized health-oriented support was substantiated. An algorithm for students to self-assess their lifestyle (physical activity patterns, eating habits, sleep, stress levels, and subjective well-being) has been developed; based on this, a structure for a personal training regimen has been proposed that allows for regular, independent adjustments. The study confirms that personalized programs grounded in self-assessment and individual planning foster higher motivation for engaging in physical activity.
This article addresses the issue of individualizing physical training for part-time students in non-sports fields of study. It substantiates the ineffectiveness of traditional, theory-oriented programs for this category of students. A practice-oriented approach is presented, involving a quantitative self-assessment of lifestyle based on five components and the creation of personalized exercise routines tailored to individual characteristics. The study results are provided, demonstrating increased student motivation and physical activity levels through the use of the proposed methodology.
Conclusion. The developed approach shifts the focus from the formal completion of standardized fitness tests to the cultivation of sustainable health-promoting behavior. Its implementation in the physical education of part-time students can help increase their physical activity levels and improve health outcomes without placing additional strain on the university's sports infrastructure.
