Student Training Sessions Under New Social Challenges.

The article presents data on students' attitudes toward training sessions in two formats: face-to-face and online. The aim of the study was to analyze the attitudes of higher education students toward online training in the context of new social challenges, including quarantine restrictions and martial law. The study was based on a survey of 452 students conducted in six higher education institutions in Ukraine. Students from all academic years participated in the survey, which was conducted remotely using a questionnaire created in Google Forms. All students provided personalized consent for participation in the study. Results. The study revealed that during quarantine restrictions and the period of martial law, online training formats were not implemented in all higher education institutions. Only 32.4% of students reported that online training sessions were introduced during quarantine restrictions, while 5.9% of respondents stated that online training was available during martial law. The majority of students (73.4%) indicated that they had the opportunity to train in real sports halls or stadiums. Among them, 65.7% were satisfied with the quality of face-to-face training sessions. At the same time, 63.4% of surveyed students were satisfied with online training sessions, and 44.5% stated that online training fully met their expectations. However, 46.6% of respondents noted significant changes in their training schedules due to quarantine or military actions, which affected the frequency of attending sports clubs and training sections. A significant portion of students, specifically 53.1%, reported training only 1–2 times per week under martial law conditions. Conclusions. In the context of new social challenges, the training process in higher education institutions has been implemented in three formats: face-to-face, blended, and online. The conducted analysis suggests that students generally consider each of these formats to adequately meet their training needs under quarantine restrictions or martial law conditions.
