EFFECTIVENESS OF USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS
Abstract
This article examines the effectiveness of using digital technologies (mobile applications, fitness trackers, video analysis tools) in physical education lessons at general secondary schools. The study was conducted during the 2024–2025 academic year with the participation of 120 students in grades 9–10. It was found that the physical fitness indicators of the experimental group students improved to a statistically significant degree compared to the control group. The results showed that the integration of digital technologies increases students’ interest in lessons, their level of physical activity, and their self-monitoring skills.
Keywords
