DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN PREVENTION OF DISEASES OF STUDYING UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

A sedentary lifestyle is strongly associated with the risk of diseases that may be acquired or due to lack of physical activity. To date, the mechanisms that mediate these issues have not been fully studied. It is assumed that a sedentary lifestyle alters key hypodynamic, inflammatory and metabolic processes, which leads to poor health and general well-being. The article examines different approaches (social, psychological, physical) and causes associated with reduced physical activity, ways to prevent and general recommendations for reducing disease risk. The authors conducted a survey in which 150 students of the Siberian Institute of Management (a branch of the RANEPA) of 1-4 years of study throughout the 2019/2020 academic year took part. During the analysis of the results, one of the main patterns is noted: with a decrease in physical activity, students show a deterioration in well-being, the appearance or exacerbation of already existing diseases. The purpose of this study is to identify reasons for the decrease in physical activity and sedentary behavior in university students.
