Abstract
The study of leading scientists’ research on the issues of psychophysical training in physical education in higher educational institutions has shown its insufficient professional direction. This has actualised the issue of scientific substantiation of the concept of psychophysical training of students, which is aimed at improving their level of readiness for professional function. The goal of the study was to investigate the influence of psychophysical training in physical education on the level of personal anxiety of students at the Dnipro Institute of Infrastructure and Transport of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies. During the experiment, such research methods were used: literature review, pedagogical experiment, testing of personal anxiety level. In order to process the received data, mathematical and statistical methods were used. It was established that the higher education applicants of Dnipro Institute of Infrastructure and Transport had a low and moderate level of personal anxiety, 14% had a high level. The level of personal anxiety among female students was much higher: 49% had high indicators of personal anxiety. To find out the influence of physical culture and sports activities on the level of students’ personal anxiety, a pedagogical experiment was conducted. The content of physical education classes included the mastering of a psychophysical training block aimed at reducing personal anxiety, specific for individuals of each gender. The selection of means took place considering the specifics of the future professional function. The conducted studies proved that under the influence of purposeful psychophysical training, the level of personal anxiety among students decreased statistically significantly (p < 0.01). Teachers can consider the obtained results during the organisation of physical education classes
