Objective:
The aim is to investigate the influence of sambo wrestling classes on the level of morpho-functional development and health of students during their studying.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The investigation was conducted in Zhytomyr National Agroecological University in 2017-2019. Ninety four students (51 male and 43 female) took part in the research. Two experimental and two control groups were formed: EG1 (n=25) and CG1 (n=26) involved male students, EG2 (n=21) and CG2 (n=22) - female students. The classes of EG were held according to the authors' methodology, the classes of CG - according to the current physical education program. The analysis of the indicators of weight, height, lungs capacity, handgrip test, heart rate, blood pressure, body mass index, life index, power index and Robinson's index was performed. The interrelation of students of EG and CG was defined according to the health levels at the beginning and at the end of the investigation.
Results:
Results: It is determined that sambo wrestling classes had a positive influence on the students' muscles system improvement, increased lung capacity, reduced body mass, improved cardiovascular system, and improved health.
Conclusion:
Сonclusions: The improvement of the indicators of morpho-functional development and health of students during sambo wrestling classes will have a positive influence on their physical working capacity and the efficiency of their studying and future professional activities.
