Objective of the study was to identify individual differences among students in the visual perception of gymnastic exercises and the speed of forming an idea about them.
Methods and structure of the study. The model chosen was the formation of an idea of ​​a relatively simple physical exercise by presenting to students of the Faculty of Physical Education (n=188, aged 18-23) sequentially alternating graphic images (movement phases), upon perception of which the subjects had to form an idea of ​​a complete physical exercise. The tachistoscopic method was used. The study consisted of two series. The 1st series is generally accepted, associated with an increase in the time of display of the object and used to determine the time of perception or recognition of the latter. The 2nd series is associated with repeated presentations of the object at an unchanged exposition, which corresponds to multiple demonstrations of physical exercises.
Results and conclusions. It was found that the degree of manifestation of individual differences in the speed of formation of a visual image depends both on the method of presentation of the stimulus material and its complexity for perception. The establishment of individual differences of students in the visual perception of gymnastic exercises and the speed of formation of an idea about them can be interpreted as a complex human ability to quickly form an image of a motor action.

Keywords: physical exercise, learning, individual differences, abilities, perception features.
