Abstract

Background of the Study: The health status of students in the context of COVID-19 and during the war in Ukraine is changing, which requires the study and implementation of new methods in physical education at universities. Purpose: The aim of the study was to substantiate the necessity of physical rehabilitation within the university curriculum, individualized according to the assessment of health, physical development, and physical fitness of the students from a special medical group, to improve the students' quality of life. Materials and Methods: The study engaged 362 students aged 19.54+1.41 years. Among those surveyed in the special medical group consisted of 143 students. The students were divided into 4 subgroups according to their medical charts analysis, in order to differentiate rehabilitation physical education means and the activity regimen. The students of groups I and II were recommended sparing physical exercise regimen, groups III and IV – sparing and sparing-training physical exercise regimen. Results: The implementation of the offered method improved both students’ somatic health (the poor health level group decreased by 25.6% of the students, the average health group – by 9% of the students upon completing the study) and physical fitness level (the average health group increased by 18% of the students, 4.8% at the end of the study showed health level which exceeded the average one; the share of the students with poor physical fitness decreased by 22.9%). This made possible the re-distribution of the students into different physical education groups (finally the physical rehabilitation group decreased by 13.2%). Conclusions: The conducted studies established that differentiation of physical education methods related to the students’ somatic disorders is beneficial. These data provide the basis for implementing physical rehabilitation into the university curriculum within physical education classes.
