The further course of a modern student's professional life often depends on the successful adaptation to the educational environment. During the life process of student youth, motor activity plays the role as a peculiar growth regulator of a young organism development. Therefore, it is a necessary condition for the formation and improvement of a person both as a biological being, and as a social subject, and as an individual.
