Emotional and volitional progress and experience is commonly ranked among the key success factors for the adolescent personality development process. Objective of the study was to rate benefits of the academic mountaineering sport for the students’ emotional and volitional progress . Academic study period is the time of fast progress of the 18-20 year-olds in the emotional and ethical aspects, character formation, maturing and socializing aspects – when the students accept the mature civil and professional missions and roles. Academic physical education service may heavily contribute to the emotional and volitional progress. Thus the Kabardino-Balkarian State University sport infrastructure and competencies of its faculty allows the university to offer ten elective physical education and sport disciplines for its students including modern mountaineering sport on the indoor climbing walls. Sampled for the study were the first-year female students (n=86) majoring in the non-sport disciplines and split up into two RG (table tennis and badminton) and EG specialized in the mountaineering sport. The emotional and volitional progress tests showed benefits of the optional mountaineering sport model within the academic physical education service.

Keywords: emotional and volitional progress, physical education, mountaineering sport, elective disciplines, students.
