Functional profile of students of transport universities in the process of implementing exercises of cyclical nature

Relevance The article considers the formation of the functional profile of students studying in the specialty 23.05.06 - Construction of railways, bridges and transport tunnels and 23.05.04 - Operation of railways. The importance of functional training of students is theoretically substantiated. Functional training requires the rational use of physical activity of various directions and intensity in magnitude. Cyclic exercises affect the development and improvement of the aerobic mechanism of energy supply of muscular activity, which improves the adaptive processes in the cells and tissues of the body of students and contributes to the development of physical qualities, motor abilities, improving health and improving physical performance. The practical significance of this study lies in the development of a functional profile of students to assess their functional readiness. The novelty of this study consists of the fact that a method of forming a functional profile of students using cyclic means, implemented in the first semester of the academic year, has been developed. The purpose of the study: the methodology of forming the functional profile of students using training tools of a cyclical nature. Research methods. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature, testing of functional indicators such as: well-being, activity and mood (SAN); maximum oxygen consumption (MPC); physical performance (PWC170), heart rate (HR); coefficient of endurance (KV), general and speed endurance. The participants of the experiment were students of the 1st and 2nd courses in the number of 40 people. Results In the methodology of forming the functional profile of students, cyclic exercises of training and wellness orientation were used, which were implemented during one academic semester. All exercises are selected in order to influence the mechanism of formation and improvement of energy resources of muscular activity. Prior to the implementation of the experimental methodology, a low level of manifestation of functional indicators was revealed in 1st and 2nd year students, After the experiment, functional indicators of students changed to above average and high levels. Conclusion In the process of implementing the methodology, 1st and 2nd year students have a gradual and uniform decrease in heart rate, an increase in physical performance, aerobic performance, endurance.
