Аналіз особливостей рухової активності та якості життя здобувачів в умовах воєнного стану

Motor activity is a crucial determinant of physical health, psychological well-being, and social engagement among young people. Recent scientific evidence indicates a persistent decline in physical activity levels, which is significantly exacerbated under martial law conditions. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of motor activity among female students and to conduct a comprehensive assessment of their quality of life. Materials and Methods. A total of 170 first-year female students (mean age 17 ± 0.5 years), belonging to the main medical group, participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire to assess motor activity patterns, the Ukrainian version of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) to evaluate the cognitive component of subjective well-being, and selected domains of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to assess health-related quality of life. Descriptive statistics and methods of mathematical analysis were applied. Results. The findings revealed that 89% of respondents were aware of the importance of motor activity for maintaining health and psychological well-being; however, the frequency and duration of physical activity were insufficient. Team sports and tourism were identified as the most preferred forms of physical activity. Overall quality of life was relatively stable, although several problematic aspects were identified. While 65 % of respondents reported a positive perception of their lives, 35 % expressed varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Self-rated health was assessed as good or moderate by 85 % of participants, and 70 % reported no changes compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, moderate limitations in motor activity were observed in 70 % of students, and severe limitations in 29 %, negatively affecting daily functioning. Conclusions. Despite a high level of awareness regarding the benefits of motor activity, its actual level among female students remains insufficient and is associated with functional limitations in daily life. The results highlight the necessity of implementing comprehensive physical education programs aimed at increasing motor activity and improving the quality of life of female students under martial law conditions.
