Introduction. In the modern technically equipped world, the success of performing professional (labor) duties largely depends on the state of the vestibular apparatus and nervous system, in this regard, the development of motor coordination abilities and timely preventive measures in the fight against psychoemotional overload are an urgent problem [2].
The purpose of the study is the scientific substantiation of the methodology for increasing the level of coordination abilities of students in the process of physical education.
Methodology and organization of the study. The study was conducted in the period from September to May of the 2020-2021 academic year on the basis of the Chuvash State University and the Chuvash State University (ChSU). 90 students of the 2nd year of full-time education of the Chuvash State University and 78 students of ChSU took part in the experiment. Based on the available studies of the informativeness of tests to determine the functions of balance and the nervous system, we used the Romberg test [1]. Normally , its indicator is 15 s . The results of the entrance testing testified to indicators below the standard values for a significant part of the students of both the Chuvash State University and CHSU, which indicates a pronounced tendency to deterioration in the functioning of the vestibular apparatus of modern university students. This problem prompted a revision of the content component of the organization of training sessions in the disciplines of physical culture and sports.
The results of the study and their discussion. The experimental technique consisted in the application of the introductory part of the exercises with a greater proportion of the coordination component. In addition, in the main part of the lesson, the number of complex coordination exercises from different sports has increased. Also, students were offered sets of exercises for the development of balance and psycho-emotional stability for use in independent work. The results of the entrance and repeated testing of students of both universities showed a significant increase in equilibrium indicators compared to the initial data (p<0.05), which indicated an improvement in the condition of the vestibular apparatus and nervous system.
Conclusion. The use of experimental methods in the process of physical education of students with a primary focus on the development of coordination abilities is effective and has practical significance, since the ability to maintain balance and psycho-emotional stability, along with professional competencies, is important in the subsequent professional activities of graduates.
