Abstract

In the field of physical culture and sports, pedagogical community uses modern digital technologies in order to form students' conscious attitude to their health. Purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of using the developed online course to form students' conscious attitude to their physical and mental health. Materials and methods. 1830 students of three Russian universities were examined with the help of content analysis. The course program is based on the integral method and contains a psychological component aimed at increasing young people's conscious motivation to follow a healthy lifestyle. A practical component aimed at mastering the skills of psychophysical training for the harmonization of the body's morphofunctional systems and a reflexive component - for the analysis of the results of the work done. Results. As a result of the content analysis of the final essays, 7 categories of conscious attitude to health were identified. Almost all the categories of content analysis noted by students have a positive trend (improvement, strengthening, promotion, etc.), negative - only 1 category of «poor health». All the selected linguistic units indicate a high level of reflection in the analysis of students' actions after completing the online course, increasing awareness of their physical and mental health and the importance of motor activity in their lives. Conclusions. We believe that such online technologies of forming a person's conscious attitude to his/her physical and mental health can be used to develop health-saving competencies in other population groups
