З’ясовано, що низький рівень фізичної підготовленості студентів вищих навчальних закладів та відсутність
позитивної динаміки в їхньому стані здоров’я під час навчання, зумовлюють, необхідність удосконалення нових форм
професійно-прикладної фізичної підготовки в освітніх установах з метою збереження, зміцнення й формування високого
рівня психофізичної готовності студентської молоді до виконання у подальшому професійних обов’язків.
It has been determined that the low level of physical fitness of students of higher educational institutions and the lack of
positive dynamics in their state of health while studying require the improvement of forms of professional and applied physical
education in educational institutions in the direction of preservation, strengthening and formation of a high level of psychophysical
readiness of student youth to perform in further their professional duties. The problem of the development of a physically active,
harmoniously developed personality of students of higher education, formation of its healthy lifestyle, counteraction to harmful habits,
motor activity deficit, immunity decline, and in this connection, disease, remains rather acute and urgent. These phenomena maintain
a steady tendency. This primarily affects the state of health, the physical training of student youth, their value orientations, their
attitude towards their own physical and mental well-being and, ultimately, for future life. In our opinion, the discipline «Physical
education» should help to eliminate deviations in the state of health and its strengthening, comprehensive physical development, to
prevent possible harmful effects on the student throughout the period of study at a higher educational establishment. In addition, the
complex of knowledge, skills and their implementation in the professional activities of the future physician forms the competence of
healthcare. The purpose of the study is to provide scientific substantiation, development and experimental verification of physical
culture, fitness and sports activities of professional-applied physical training of students of higher medical education institutions. The
object of research is the educational process of physical education of students of higher medical educational institutions. The subject
of the research is the impact of professional-applied physical training on the health of students of higher medical schools. The
analysis of literature shows that the overwhelming majority of authors believe that the purpose of professional-applied physical
training of students of a higher medical school contributes to the development of a specific profession, achieving the goal of the
required level of professional ability and psychophysiological readiness for high-performing labor. This goal stems from the needs of
production specialists who will be able to work in difficult conditions of scientific and technological progress. Thus, the professional
orientation of education and education of students of higher education requires a targeted influence on the formation of personal and
professionally relevant knowledge, skills, abilities and abilities. Special role in professional training belongs to physical education,
which provides high working capacity and creative longevity of future medical workers, the possibility to work professionally without
psychological expenses, extends the range of social activity of a physician.
