Objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of mobile applications and training programs used by students for independent training for the GTO tests in terms of distance learning.
Methods and structure of the study. Subject to the study were 212 students of both sexes. The study included an analysis of the number of participants in the GTO tests run at the GTO Testing Centers (upon completion of the self-training program), popularity and usability of the mobile self-training applications, as well as the final achievements in physical education in the spring and autumn semesters.
Results and conclusions. The comparison of the increase rates in the grade point average indicated that it increased by 8% (from 84% to 92%). These results were due to the active use of mobile applications and social networks to organize self-training sessions in the physical education discipline.
The use of Tabata Timer, NikeRun Club, Adidas Running, Endomondo, Sworkit, Just 6 Weeks and other apps in working with students makes it possible to significantly enrich and diversify the process of distance learning, attract students, involve in the process of training a much larger number of students who train independently and enjoy both the learning process and the ability to communicate with their fellow students and teachers, share their self-training results.
