Abstract

Annotation. The purpose is to define an efficient impact of the specifically formed activities through Yoga practice on the development of flexibility among the female student’s in the process of physical training of higher educational institutions.

Material.

96 female students have been participated in the pedagogical experiment. The research has been conducted during the one academic semester. The impact of Yoga practice on the indicator of flexibility was assessed at the end of the pedagogical experiment.  The state of its development before and after the experiment was determined and compared.

Results of the research. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirmed the successful influence of the offered activities through Yoga practice on the development of flexibility. It has been established that the systematic Yoga practicing contributes to the best manifestation of this physical quality. It has been proved that the use of Yoga practice has improved the flexibility indicators of the experimental group more in comparison with the control group.

Conclusions. Practicing Yoga has positively impacted on the development of flexibility among female students. Whereas this quality is one of the indicators for assessing the physical condition of the graduates (18-20 years), it is expedient to include Yoga practicing in the curriculum of physical education for students of higher educational institutions and introduce this method of flexibility development in the process of physical education.
