PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS AT A PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY: ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT STATE AND DETERMINANT FACTORS
The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the level of physical activity among students at Pavlodar Pedagogical University named after A. Margulan, based on statistical processing of online survey results from 93 respondents in their 1st and 2nd years of study (all cases valid). The aim of the study was to identify the current state of motor activity, key determinants and barriers, as well as to develop recommendations for optimizing physical education and health promotion work at the university. The hypothesis regarding the non-compliance of activity levels with WHO recommendations was confirmed: 58% of students engage in physical activity only episodically (1-2 times per week as part of the curriculum), 14 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week). The primary barriers include lack of time (58 %), high academic workload (43 %), and insufficient motivation (37 %), exacerbated by excessive screen time and daily routine constraints. Key motivators encompass improvement of health and appearance (55 respondents) and credit recognition for participation in sports sections (16 respondents). Factor analysis using the principal component method identified four latent factors: physical engagement and self-perceived fitness, motivational-institutional, health-limiting, and sedentary-dietary. Comparative analysis with data from other Kazakhstani universities (15-30 % additional activity) and global trends (50-75 % inactivity among students in Central Asia and Eastern Europe; 60-80 % in highly digitized countries) confirms that the situation in pedagogical universities reflects a typical regional and international pattern of hypodynamia. Recommendations include diversification of activity formats, implementation of a credit system for section attendance, infrastructure modernization, and programs to reduce sedentary behaviour. The study highlights the strategic role of pedagogical universities in shaping a culture of healthy lifestyles among future teachers, offering practical implications for university policy while acknowledging limitations related to self-reported data.
ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT STATE OF SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR TRAINING IN KARATE (KATA DISCIPLINE)
At present, the development of combat sports is accompanied by increasing demands on the level of athletes’ preparedness and the growing complexity of competitive activity. In karate, performance outcomes are determined not only by the quality of technical execution but also by the level of development of physical and coordination abilities of the athlete. This is especially evident in the kata discipline, where precision, rhythm, and expressiveness of technical actions are of great importance. In this regard, the importance of the rational organization of the training process aimed at comprehensive athlete development is increasing. Analysis of scientific literature shows that karate training requires the integrated development of physical qualities, technical skills, and coordination abilities. The purpose of this study is to analyze scientific and methodological literature devoted to the training of karate athletes (kata discipline), as well as to identify insufficiently studied aspects of the training process. The study employed methods of analysis, generalization, and systematization of scientific literature on issues of physical, technical, and coordination training of karate athletes. The conducted analysis revealed that most studies examine individual aspects of athlete preparation, such as the development of coordination abilities, speed-strength qualities, and technical improvement. At the same time, the issues of comprehensive interaction between different components of training in the kata discipline remain insufficiently studied. In addition, the scientific literature presents differing viewpoints regarding the leading factors influencing athletes’ performance. The obtained data indicate the need for further research aimed at developing more effective training methods for athletes specializing in the kata discipline.

DEVELOPMENT OF A REAL-TIME PULL-UP VALIDATION SYSTEM FOR COMPETITIVE SPORTS USING YOLO26N-POSE
This paper describes the development and experimental validation of an automated real-time pull-up counting system for competitive sports, built on the YOLO26n-Pose model. The system integrates 2D keypoint detection, geometric feature extraction, exponential smoothing of elbow-angle measurements, and a rule-based finite-state machine to count repetitions against competition-compliant criteria. A two-level validation architecture separates visual feedback, four discrete states: DOWN, TRANSITION, UP, and CHEATING, from the underlying repetition-counting logic. A calibrated floor-contact detector prevents repetitions from being credited when the athlete’s feet touch the ground. Running on a standard CPU-only laptop (Intel i5, 8 GB RAM), the system achieves roughly 25 FPS interface refresh. Unlike wearable sensor setups, the system requires no athlete-worn hardware, making it practical for judging at small competitions and training sessions.
