Modern requirements to the content selection of professional and applied physical education of students studying at technical and technological colleges

Abstract

The relevance of the research is substantiated by the fact that a persons’ successful learning and vocational training depends
on physiological and psychological suitability to labour, i.e. on corresponding inclinations and abilities. In this regard, the
article aims to prove the necessity of an appropriate selection of means and methods for professional and applied physical
education of students – future engineers and technologists. The leading method of the research was sociological questioning
among students of technical and technological colleges; it revealed respondents’ intellectual and emotional nervous tension,
and preference for passive forms of rest. The article provides a structure of requirements for physical and mental education
of the studied groups; tasks for professional and applied physical education of students – future experts; selection of means
and methods of professional and applied physical training of future engineers and technologists at higher education
institutions. Materials of the article are of practical value for teaching staff of technical and technological colleges when
selection and structuring of students’ professional and applied physical educations are considered.
