Dynamics of Physical Fitness of Students during Powerlifting Classes

The article defines the dynamics of physical fitness of students after the introduction of method of forming special skills and abilities during powerlifting classes. The study was carried out at Poltava V. G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University, which was attended by 294 students from different faculties. We found out, that physical activity, physical fitness and health of students in higher educational institutions are at a fairly low level. We investigated, that the lack of motor activity of students can be compensated only by a complex combination of curricular and extracurricular activities that will contribute to desired result achievement during physical education classes. We found that the effectiveness of powerlifting exercises is closely related to the effectiveness of other test exercises. This may indicate that training and extracurricular powerlifting classes in combination with cardio increase the level of strength of the main muscle groups of boys and girls, resulting in an improvement in the level of general physical fitness of students.
