Currently, the level of students’ physical activity is one of the pressing issues in modern

education. With the rapid development of technology and digitalization, a decline in the level of

physical activity among young people can be observed, as well as insufficient monitoring of this

indicator. According to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 11,

2016, No. 168 ―On Approval of the Concept for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in

the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025‖, the indicators of physical development of children and

adolescents are assessed according to four main parameters: body weight, height, chest

circumference, and dynamometry indicators. According to the data of the Ministry of Health, a

deterioration in the health status of young people has been recorded. A number of researchers

indicate that insufficient physical activity has a negative impact on the body of young people.

Approximately 10–15% of students entering the first year of university have various health

deviations. Every year, the number of first-year students assigned to special medical groups due to

their health conditions is increasing. All these factors indicate the problem of the deterioration of

the physical condition of young people in recent decades. A number of studies have revealed a low

level of physical fitness among first-year students as well as uneven development of their physical

qualities. Among the factors affecting the increase in morbidity and the decline in the level of

physical development of young people, the lack of physical activity plays a significant role. As a

result, a deterioration in students’ physical development indicators can be observed. According to

available data, the level of students’ physical activity during academic classes is 56–65%, while

during the examination period it decreases to only 39–46% of the activity level during rest periods.
