Abstract
Introduction. The organization and methods of using health-improving technologies in the physical education of students require special attention in modern conditions of higher education. The process of improving physical education methods stimulates the search for new, more rational ways to solve this problem The purpose of the work is to reveal the specifics of the application and determine the impact of mental fitness on the physical fitness of students. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature; method of determining physical fitness, pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The experiment involved 40 students aged 17-18 years who studied at the 1st year of the Faculty of Science and Technology of Hryhoriy Skovoroda University in Pereyaslav. The results. The students of the experimental group significantly improved their performance in the following control tests: maintaining balance; bending the body forward from a sitting position; flexion and extension of arms in support. These results confirm the conclusions of scientists regarding the high efficiency of the mental fitness system in the physical education of student youth. Conclusions. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirm the scientists' conclusions about the positive impact of mental fitness on the level of physical fitness of students. A wide range and variety of exercises allow you to effectively use mental fitness in the physical education of students, taking into account their individual characteristics
