Starting university studies is always associated with stress for students, and for those who continue their sports careers, this stress doubles, complicating the processes of adaptation to new academic activities. This determines the need for a thorough study of these processes. The relevance of our work lies in an integrated approach to the study of adaptation processes by examining the personal qualities of boxing students that affect their adaptive capabilities at the university. The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of sports influence on the personal development of students and compare the level of adaptation to the learning activities of students at the university. In the course of the research, methods of description, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, as well as psychodiagnostic techniques were used. The article analyzes the works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the study of the development of personal qualities in sports activities. The authors have identified certain personal qualities of boxer athletes, which show the level of their adaptation to educational and sports activities. An empirical study has confirmed the hypothesis that such qualities of boxer athletes have a positive effect on their ability to quickly integrate into a new team and successfully master academic disciplines even under significant athletic loads. Based on the results of research conducted using the above methods, the level of their development was found out, which led us to the conclusion that sports activities really facilitate the adaptation of student-athletes to study compared with ordinary first-year students. However, the high workload in the training process and competitive activities negatively affects the academic performance of boxer athletes. The theoretical significance of the results obtained lies in the deepening of scientific knowledge about the influence of sports on the formation of students’ personal qualities, which affect the adaptation processes in higher education. The practical value of the research lies in the fact that the data obtained can be useful in working with first-year students to facilitate their successful adaptation to the educational and sports process.

The relevance of this study is due to the fact that more and more students entering the university today have health problems, and the list of deviations in their current condition related to chronic diseases is constantly increasing. The large percentage are pathologies of the cardiovascular system. However, due to the intensification of the educational process in universities today, there is a tendency to decrease the volume of students' motor activity, which can negatively affect their physical development, physical fitness and functional condition. In this regard, there is a need to find an effective teaching methodology. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of practice-oriented training, varying in nature of physical activity, on female students with health disabilities who are medically assigned to a special medical group at Samara universities. To achieve this goal, various methods were used, including the analysis of scientific and methodological sources on the topic, methods of description, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, and functional methods for assessing morphological and physiological changes. The study systematized and analyzed the works of domestic and foreign scientists, reflecting the fact of an increase in the overall incidence of diseases among young people. The practical part of the study included a pedagogical experiment, which allowed us not only to study in depth the health condition of female students with abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, but also to record various functional shifts at the period of the study. As a result of the analysis of the dynamics of the functional condition indicators of female students with various heart pathologies who had regular physical activity, it was found a decrease in heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure, which indicated favorable dynamics in the body's adaptation to physical activity. Based on this, it can be concluded that a decrease in physical activity in a special medical group can adversely affect the health of students, while the development of proper health-preserving behavior at the university will undoubtedly help them in life. Theoretical significance: scientific ideas about the general patterns of morphological and functional characteristics change and their development at different stages of practice-oriented education of university students with problems of the cardiovascular system are clarified, supplemented and systematized. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of successful applying the research results for the work with students in a special medical group.

Today, the factor of intellectual and digital transformation of society has a special impact on the educational process in universities in the field of physical education and sports. The use of new IT-technologies in the process of physical education raises physical culture and sports to a new level, and contributes to the education of a healthy generation. Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify the dynamics of the application and development of intellectual and digital technologies and sports software in the educational process of university students. Research objectives: to study the scientific literature on this topic; to determine the degree of positive impact of the use of IT-technologies and software on the educational process in the field of physical education and sports in various universities of the Samara region; to identify the impact of IT-technologies and software on the growth of athletic achievements of student athletes. The complexity of the problem under study and the complexity of the research object itself predetermined the use of various methods in identifying the main areas of application of IT-technologies and software, both in the educational process and in the sports activities of students. Having studied the scientific literature on this topic, the authors note that all higher educational institutions, at the moment, are building their educational process using IT-technologies, educational information platforms, modern software for various specialties and subjects. The sphere of physical education and sports in universities of our country and abroad is no exception. Next, the authors analyze the main trends in the development of information digital technologies (IT-technologies) for the subject of "Physical education and sports" in Russian universities. It is noted that the growth of the use of digital technologies in universities continues. They claim that the process will create even more innovative solutions and software for education and sports. The authors do not exclude that new technologies in virtual and augmented reality, analytical systems based on artificial intelligence and other progressive developments in order to improve the training and competitive process of student athletes of various universities in the Samara region will appear in the near future, which underlines the theoretical and practical significance of the research.

The need to maintain and improve the health of children in modern society compels teachers of preschools to seek new forms and means of health care activities, because the younger generation encounters increas-ingly high requirements for physical and mental health, emotional endurance, which can be met by healthy children exclusively. The authors propose the creation of health care room in the municipal budget pre-school educational institution № 61, for the formation of children's needs in motor activity and physical per-fection through the organization of additional group lessons for kids in cheerleading. The article signs out the hypothesis, aim and objectives of the beginning of the experiment, describes the various exercises used in infant cheerleading.

The paper compares the concept of sports, high performance sports, students’ sports; discusses the laws of the Russian Federation, makes the offers in this field. The example of success of Russian sport in recent years was holding the international competitions, which were entrusted to Russia in recognition of its authority in sport: XXVII World Summer Universiade in Kazan (2013), World Championships in Athletics in Moscow (2013), World Aquatics Championships. in Kazan (2014), XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi (2014).
