Characteristics of the biogeometric profile of students' posture in the process of vocational and physical training Vitaliy Kashuba, Inna Asaulyuk, Anna Dyachenko National University of Physical Education and Sport of Ukraine, Kyiv; Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University, Vinnytsia Abstract Topicality. Analysis of specialized scientific and methodological literature, generalization of the experience of leading specialists and own pedagogical observations allow stating that the state of human posture is one of the characteristics of physical development. Notably, the number of students with different musculoskeletal disorders and disharmonious physical development is increasing. Accordingly, the effectiveness of the process of physical education in the context of the modern educational institution should be associated with the use of modern technologies that allow to adequately measure and assess the state of the biogeometric profile of students' posture. Research objectives. To analyze the scientific and methodological literature with regard to the study and determination of the level of the physical condition of students of music specialties and to assess the state of posture of students of specialty "Music". Research results. The results of the study contain summarized data on the assessment of students’ physical condition, which is used in the process of physical education. Based on the study of the data of specialized scientific-methodological literature and own research, the study presents the material for assessing the level of the state of the biogeometric profile of posture of students of specialty "Music". Conclusions. The study has revealed that due to prolonged forced posture and low motor activity students of specialty “Music” experience disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The research highlights the dynamics of disorders of the biogeometric profile of the students of specialty "Music" in terms of their age. Prospects for further research will be related to the definition of directions and tasks for improving the organizational and methodological conditions for the implementation of the process of physical education of students of specialty "Music". Key words: visual screening, posture, process of physical education.
