Level of physical fitness of modern students-engineers of the Russian Technological University

the purpose of the research article is to analyze the level of physical fitness of modern students – future engineers of optical-electronic devices and its compliance with professional requirements. The following research methods were used in the work: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 50 students (25 boys and 25 girls aged 18) specialty 12.03.05 Laser equipment and laser technologies, engineers of optical-electronic devices, Russian Technological University. To determine the level of physical fitness, the control standards of the current educational program "Physical Education and Sports" approved at a meeting of the Department of Physical Education of the Russian Technological University were used. According to the testing data, it was found that the students showed the lowest results in the 3000 m run, that is, the endurance indicators corresponded to the grade of "1" point. According to the testing data, it was revealed that only 6% of first-year students of the Russian Technological University have a high level of physical fitness, while satisfactory and unsatisfactory are observed in 70% and 24%, respectively. The results of testing the physical fitness of first-year students allow us to recommend including more exercises in the physical education program aimed at increasing endurance, dynamic strength and flexibility. It is shown that selective introduction of functional motor training into general physical education classes will significantly enrich the content of physical education classes and usefully supplement traditional teaching of special skills with advanced methods and concepts of teaching. Research has confirmed that functional training pays more attention to the role of the whole kinematic chain of the body, avoids training a single link or a single movement of the body, and regards the movement of the human body as a whole kinematic chain. Functional training is a good interpretation of the idea of all-round physical development, not only helps to improve strength, speed, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, coordination, explosive power, flexibility, balance, accuracy, etc.
