Abstract

Introduction. A sedentary lifestyle and its negative consequences for the health of student youth lead scientists to search for modern, adequate and effective programs of motor activity interesting for young people. The modern ASICS Runkeeper mobile application has the potential to optimize the motor activity of student youth in the conditions of distance education. The purpose of the work is to reveal the features of optimizing the motor activity of student youth using the ASICS Runkeeper mobile application in the conditions of distance learning. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature; pedagogical observations, pedagogical experiment. The research lasted 3 months (September-November 2022) at the base of Hryhoriy Skovoroda University in Pereyaslav. 22 students of the socio-historical faculty took part in the experiment. At the time of the experiment, all its participants belonged to the main health group. The results. Human motor activity should be understood as any body movement made by skeletal muscles, as a result of which there is a significant increase in energy consumption, which is higher than the basic metabolism. Regular physical activity, such as running, can significantly improve mental health, self-confidence and quality of life. The ASICS Runkeeper app, which is essentially an activity tracker, is ideal for runners of all levels and can be successfully used in physical education for distance learning students. These assumptions were proven as a result of a pedagogical experiment.At the end of the experiment, we note positive changes in the following indicators: heart rate from 75.1±9.2 to 70.7±6.7 at t>0.05; ZHEL (l) from 2.89±0.31 to 2.94±0.34 at t>0.05; Blood pressure (mmHg) from 126.1±6.2 to 121.4±3.1 at t>0.05; Blood pressure (mmHg) from 81.4±6.1 to 78.0±5.4 at t>0.05. At the beginning of the experiment, the absolute value of PWC170 was found in the students: 1041 ± 21.9 kgm/min. At the end of the study, the value of PWC170 increased to 1286 ± 49.9 kgm/min, which indicates the effectiveness of the Runkeeper relationship in the conditions of distance learning. Conclusions. The analysis of advanced theoretical and practical experience made it possible to outline the algorithm of a fitness program for students with the aim of improving their motor activity, built on fitness running classes using a mobile phone in relation to Runkeeper in the conditions of distance learning. The positive effect of health-improving running training is determined by the frequency and duration of classes, the volume and intensity of the load and is supplemented by a balanced diet and adherence to the general regime. A positive effect is achieved through 3-4 runs per week lasting 25-30 minutes or a distance of 5 kilometers
