Abstract

The relevance of the topic of the article is dictated by the insufficient physical activity of young people and the digitalization of all spheres of our lives, including physical culture. The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of using mobile applications that promote physical activity in order to increase students' motivation for independent physical education. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the author's definition of students' motivation for independent physical education is proposed, the terminological diversity is studied to designate applications that promote physical activity. The main methods of work are analysis and synthesis of the provisions of the scientific literature of the regulatory framework, analysis of mobile applications that promote physical activity, experiment, questionnaire, conversation, statistical methods of data processing. The result of the study was an empirical proof of the effectiveness of mobile applications to increase students' motivation to engage in independent physical education in the logic of changing stages (motivational-targeted, activity-based, reflexive) and with pedagogical support.
