Aspects of students' self-evaluation of their physical condition and motivation for physical activity

The main objective of the study is to establish how the students evaluate their physical condition and get involved into physical activity; make a research of physical status and physical capacity of the students; establish how adequate is a subjective self evaluation of physical condition and in what way it influences motivation for physical training and physical activity. The survey has showed that the results of majority of the students' physical condition are low, though 86,2% of the students consider their physical condition to be good. The students are unable to evaluate their physical condition properly and have low motivation for physical training, what hinders creation of a positive attitude towards physical activity. This is also influenced by lack of knowledge about own physical condition. Only 5.1% of the students have been able to indicate frequency of their pulse in passive condition. Majority of the students have mixed up such definitions as grace, body shape, muscle and physical properties. The students lack firm position towards physical activity. 24.1% of the students do not attend physical training classes due to laziness and lack of appropriate environment: attractive forms of training, satisfactory sports base, and personality of the teacher
