Physical training of female students for trail running

The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for physical education classes with students using a training complex that includes methods and tools for developing physical qualities and skills necessary for trail running, introductory seminars on the sport, and to determine the effectiveness of the complex's impact on attendance, motivation, and the level of physical fitness. Research methods and organization: methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used, along with pedagogical experiments, testing of functional condition using modern devices for monitoring physical state, and methods of mathematical statistics. The developed methodology was tested in physical education classes at the St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. Research results and conclusions. The identified reliable increase in motivation and functional fitness indicators among female students confirms the effectiveness of the developed training methodology. The obtained data confirmed the efficiency and feasibility of integrating a training complex based on trail running exercises into the educational process.
