Objective of the study was to theoretically and experimentally substantiate the training process models focused on the restoration and maintenance of professional working capacity of university students in conditions of quarantine restrictions and online training.
Methods and structure of the study. The study was part of the research project implemented at Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in the period from 2019 to 2021. During the educational experiment, we determined the relationship between the training load parameters and students’ working capacity level; analyzed the indirect indicators of working capacity that characterize its information, functional, and motor components. In addition, we registered the training load parameters. Subject to the experiment were 10 equally trained students of Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The experiment aimed at determining the minimum and maximum heart rate when performing exercise sets of various intensity and in combination with running. At the same time, the experiment aimed at identifying the effects of training loads of various intensity on the indirect indicators of working capacity.
Results and conclusions. The study found that the model of standardization of training loads to restore and maintain students’ physical working capacity is based on the load intensity (heart rate – 130-170 bpm, duration – 25 to 50 min) that provides an immediate training effect: increased heart rate, current increase in the oxygen rate, while simultaneously decreasing the respiratory coefficient and lactic acid concentration in the blood. It was also found that training sessions conducted at heart rate of 130 bpm and above provide the required training effect. The optimal duration of training loads is 20-50 min, shorter ones do not provide a proper training effect, while longer ones lead to overstrain.
