Abstract

Resume. The article is devoted to the problem of organizing independent exercises with physical exercises using the GymBoom mobile application among student youth. The purpose of the work is to analyze, summarize and systematize data on modern approaches to the use by GymBoom students during self-employment exercises. Methods of research: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, surveys, pedagogical observations. Results of work: It was found that 29.49% of students own a fitness tracker, with the most widespread types being phone applications (46.2% of respondents) and fitness bracelets (44.7% of students). Almost 72.04% of respondents reported that they started using the GymBoom app because they were curious about it. When asked how the GymBoom add-on helped them achieve their goals, participants explained that the add-on increased their awareness of their target behavior and provided encouragement or support through visual or auditory cues. 53.84% of participants used supplements as a tool to reinforce existing behaviours. 27.97% of participants reported positive feelings associated with specific components of the supplements. Thus, students reported increased motivation due to greater awareness of their own behaviour. The health effects of selfmotivated physical exercise using the GymBoom program can only be achieved if the basic principles are respected: consistency, systematicity, appropriateness, and variety of exercise routines. The results obtained indicate that the use of fitness supplements for health purposes is an effective model for improving the fitness skills of the students, staffing the workload and enthusiasm for different types of physical activity. Conclusions: The results indicate that using health fitness programs is an effective model for improving student fitness skills, personalizing workload and encouraging different types of physical activity.
