Objective of the study was to conduct a theoretical analysis to identify the peculiarities of development of sensory fatigue in university students and ways to overcome it during distance learning in academic physical education.
Methods and structure of the study. The theoretical approaches to the problem were based on the legislative and regulatory documents and materials in the field of sensory fatigue research and prevention. The research problem was addressed through a comparative analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature and attitudes of different scientists to the problem.
Results and conclusions. The theoretical analysis of the works devoted to sensory fatigue revealed the following:
– a fatigue feeling is "a normal functional state arising during physical activity and characterized by the onset of fatigue, changes in the physiological functions, moderate decrease of working capacity";
– a number of works indicate that sensory fatigue, being a psychophysical response of human perceptual systems to external stimuli, the degree and duration of its exposure does not affect man’s health, but its onset depends on his physical state, co-morbidity and psychoemotional stability;
– sensory fatigue can be classified by the type of sensory channel, force of the stimulus, amount of overloaded sensory channels, and development time.
The authors note that the development of sensory fatigue in the course of distance learning should be studied using the diagnostic tools characterizing psychophysical disorders, visual and auditory impairments. The data obtained will help adjust the ways of representing information and visual row during the academic physical education classes at universities and ease or redistribute the burden on the sensory channels of students during studies.

Keywords: distance learning, sensory fatigue, visual analyzer, auditory analyzer, kinesthetic tension, adaptation.
