Students’ physical education comprehensive methodology in pedagogical university using badminton and breathing practices

The conducted pedagogical research included two interrelated components: a diagnostic and analytical (testing) stage and a practice-oriented module aimed at introducing elements of the sports game “Badminton” in the structure of the physical education elective course. The researchers used comprehensive methods, including pedagogical observation, instrumental diagnostics with InBody and the Cardiovisor cardiological screening system, and mathematical and statistical analysis of the empirical data. One of the significant areas of the research was the study of the student’s body functional state based on the physical health indicators monitoring in pedagogical university. Researchers used individual physical condition maps to provide personalized consultations, recommending corrective foot arch exercises, breathing exercises, and recovery techniques. The Cardiovisor system analyzed heart rhythm variability, revealing the students’ adaptive abilities levels and specific features of their cardiac vegetative regulation. The organizing phase of the experiment included the comprehensive methodology implementation incorporating badminton lessons, breathing practices and stretching elements. During the academic year, the students of the experimental group mastered the content of the course, aimed at the development of general endurance, coordination abilities, and functional stability of the body. The positive dynamics of the students’ physical condition testifies to the expediency of integrating such a model into educational practice. The scientific substantiation of the proposed method combining the competitive components of the sports game with the restorative-regulatory effects of breathing exercises allows us to consider it as a prospective area in the health-improving system of physical education of students in pedagogical universities.
