THE IMPACT OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON THE EMOTIONAL STATE OF STUDENTS
SUMMARY:
Preserving the mental health of young people is an extremely important task for modern society. The search for effective means of emotional support for students remains relevant. The article analyses the impact of systematic physical exercises on the emotional state of students. Prolonged stay at home due to distance learning has led to a significant decrease in the level of physical activity among students. Sedentary lifestyles and lack of physical activity have a negative impact on the health, well-being and quality of life of young people, causing additional stress and threatening not only physical but also mental well-being. Based on a review of the scientific literature, the article highlights the positive impact of regular exercise on psychoemotional health, including improved mood, reduced stress and depression, and increased self-esteem. In particular, physical activity contributes to the production of endorphins, the hormones of joy, which improves emotional well-being. It has been proven that the level of physical activity positively correlates with the well-being, activity and mood of students. Physical activity improves cognitive function, including cognitive performance, memory and cognitive flexibility. Sports can also improve students' psychological well-being by providing a positive mood, reducing symptoms of depression, improving self-esteem and developing social skills. In addition, sports can help regulate emotions and provide students with psychological comfort and self-discipline. Thus, regular sports activities can serve as an effective means of preventing emotional burnout and maintaining the psychological health of students. The rational organisation of students' physical activity, regular use of physical education in various forms of training is a key to preventing deterioration of their physical condition, performance and disease prevention.
