PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL INDICATORS IN STUDENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF COGNITIVE ACTIVITY AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF PHYGITAL ACTIVITY

The influence of phygital activity on the psychophysiological indicators of students under cognitive activity conditions was studied. The study involved 50 male TSU students. The age of the participants ranged from 19 to 21 years inclusive. All participants had their heart rate variability recorded and psychological tests performed before and after physical activity and phygital activity: tapping test, assessment of reaction to a moving object and simple visual-motor reaction. Analysis of the results of psychophysiological indicators before and after exercise in both groups revealed statistically significant improvements. Physical activity significantly increased the speed of motor reactions, reduced reaction time in the PZMR and RDO tests, and also increased the stability of the nervous system. Phygital load had a similar effect, but with a more pronounced effect on the accuracy of task performance, which indicates its positive impact on cognitive functions. The most significant result was an increase in parasympathetic activity (RMSSD) after the VR session, indicating stimulation of recovery processes. This allows us to consider phygital sports as a promising means of maintaining the psychophysiological state of students under academic load, combining physical activity with cognitive development. The combination of physical activity with digital technologies creates unique conditions for the development of cognitive functions and motor skills, which makes this type of activity especially valuable in the modern educational environment.
