Topicality. The study of the impact of sports games on student youth provides an understanding of the possibility of practical application of sports games or individual sports game tools to normalize their physical and psychological state. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of sports games on the quality of life of student youth according to indicators of emotional state. Material and methods of the study. The study involved 150 students (male) of the 1st year of pedagogical specialties who expressed a desire to engage in optional sports games: table tennis (n=13), volleyball (n=28), football (n=29); power sports (n=25) and athletics (n=21), as well as 34 students who, due to lack of desire, were not involved in optional classes. The SAN method was used to determine indicators of emotional state (well-being, activity, mood) at the beginning and end of the academic year. Results of the study. During the academic year, there were certain changes in the indicators of well-being, activity and mood of applicants of all three groups. Although in essence they had a different nature. In applicants who were engaged in various sports, all indicators changed positively. At the same time, a larger percentage of applicants with the highest degree of positively expressed assessments was found in those who were engaged in sports games. Applicants who were not engaged in optional groups, on the contrary, identified negative changes in their state. Conclusions. During the year of optional classes in game sports, the number of applicants with a negative emotional state decreased from 19 to 5 %, with an extremely positive degree of expression increased from 27 to 42 %. Positive changes were also found in students who were engaged in individual sports. Students who did not attend optional physical education classes showed a deterioration in well-being – from 28 % at the beginning to 36 % at the end of the academic year, and in mood – from 14 to 18 %, respectively.
