THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH IN STUDENTS
Abstract
Physical activity has a significant impact on maintaining psychological health, especially in today's society, where high stress levels, information overload and little physical activity are becoming the norm. For students who are subject to intense academic workload and emotional stress, regular exercise can be an effective way to improve their psycho-emotional state.
One of the most noticeable effects of physical activity is its ability to reduce stress. When playing sports or doing active physical activity, the body produces endorphins - hormones of happiness that help improve mood and overall well-being. In addition, regular exercise helps reduce the level of cortisol, which is responsible for stress, which is especially important for students who often experience tension and stressful situations.
Physical activity also helps improve sleep, which is directly related to the psycho-emotional state. Sports activities normalize biorhythms, reduce symptoms of insomnia and promote better recovery of the body, which is especially important for students whose daily routine is often
disrupted due to studying and preparing for exams.
In addition, physical activity has a positive effect on cognitive functions. Improved blood circulation and increased oxygen supply to the brain helps to increase concentration, improve memory and speed up thought processes, which helps students cope with the study load more effectively and improve their academic performance.
Physical activity in the fresh air has additional positive effects on mental health. Movement in nature, whether it is walking, running or outdoor yoga, helps to reduce anxiety, relieve tension and improve the overall condition of the nervous system.
The social component of physical activity also plays an important role in psychological well- being. Group training, participation in team games and sports events help to establish contacts, develop communication skills, establish friendships and strengthen social support among students. In addition, regular physical activity helps to increase self-esteem and self-confidence.
Achieving goals in sports, improving physical fitness and overcoming difficulties help to strengthen
self-confidence, which in turn has a positive effect on the psychological state of students.

An author should not normally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in multiple journals or publication venues. Such redundant publication is generally considered to constitute unethical publishing behavior, and if discovered may result in a manuscript under consideration being rejected, or a published article being retracted.
Authors of manuscripts reporting on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, accompanied by an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and the making of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and may be cause for rejection or retraction of a manuscript or published article.
