Background and Study Aim. Physical training plays a crucial role in preparing future specialists for the demands of the oil and gas industry, where physical endurance and coordination are essential for professional activities. Implementing effective training methods can enhance students' physical preparedness and overall performance. To identify the pedagogical conditions for using the game method in the process of professional and applied physical training of oil and gas students. Material and Methods. The study involved students of the specialty "Oil and gas engineering" aged 17–18 (n=60). The students were divided into a control (n=30) and an experimental group (n=30). Physical fitness was assessed using motor tests that evaluated key motor qualities, including strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and coordination abilities. Results. Widespread use of the game method contributed to a higher growth rate of the development level of most indicators of physical fitness among students of the experimental group. Significant improvement in physical fitness indicators (p < 0.05) was found in almost all indicators in both groups. However, in the experimental group, an improvement (p < 0.001) was found in 9 out of 11 indicators. In the control group, a significant improvement in the results (p < 0.001) occurred only in 5 out of 11 cases. The use of the game method contributed to a higher growth rate of the development level of coordination abilities in students of the experimental group. Significant improvement (p < 0.001) in the experimental group was found in 2 out of 3 indicators of coordination preparedness. Along with this, a significant increase in such professionally significant motor quality as general endurance at the level (p < 0.001) was found in students of the experimental group (test "3000 m running"). Conclusions. During the planning of physical education classes, the content, means and methods should be focused on the game form of learning, because game activity is distinguished by its intensity, dynamism, variety and unpredictability of the results of game actions. The use of competitive and game methods in the process of developing students' physical qualities allows students to fully reveal their functional capabilities and fully realize their motor potential. Theoretical and methodological training of students in physical education classes is a kind of basis for improving the development of motor qualities, strengthening and maintaining health, forming students' readiness for independent use of physical education tools for personal self-improvement.References
