Game method in physical education and sports classes with university students

the article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of the game method in physical education and sports classes at universities. In the context of a decrease in students' interest in traditional forms of physical education, there is a need to find new approaches that can increase motivation and the quality of the educational process. The aim of the study was to study the influence of game elements on the physical, psychological and social development of students. In the framework of the experiment, two groups of first and second year students from different faculties were engaged in different programs: one group used the game method, and the other followed the traditional training plan. In the course of the study, questionnaires, testing of physical parameters and observation of participants' behavior were used. The results showed that the students of the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in physical parameters such as endurance, strength, flexibility and coordination. In addition, game forms of training contributed to increased motivation and satisfaction with classes, as well as the formation of team spirit and the development of social skills. The use of games and competitions allowed us to create a positive and friendly atmosphere in the classroom, which helped reduce stress levels and increase students' emotional engagement. The data obtained confirm that the game method is a more effective tool for organizing the physical education process in universities, ensuring the integrated development of students. These findings open up prospects for further implementation of gaming techniques in educational practice, which can significantly improve the quality of physical education and contribute to the general well-being of students.
