Introduction. This article presents the results of a study aimed at studying the influence of the motor activity regime of young people studying in higher education institutions on their mental health. The aim of the study. Considering that, according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), the meaning of the term "Human health" is interpreted as the state of its complete physical, mental and social well-being, mental health of a person should be understood as an integral part of health, which is determined by the following indicators: the absence of pathological changes in the body, the ability to fully perform physiological functions, the stability of the processes of interaction with the physical and social environment. Materials and methods. In conditions of mental health, a person is capable of an adequate response to stressful situations, productive activity and the performance of certain social functions. In addition, she is capable of controlling her own emotional state, developing relationships with others, and assimilating new knowledge and practical skills. Education in institutions of higher education is a complex and responsible process associated with an intense impact on the central nervous system of a person. Therefore, the control of mental health indicators during the educational process in higher education institutions is an important condition for preserving the resource of professional health of both teachers and students. Results and discussion. Students perceive most of the educational information with the help of visual and auditory analyzers. Therefore, the dynamic control of the functional state of these analyzers in the learning process in higher education institutions is extremely important. First of all, you need to investigate the initial state of the visual and auditory analyzers before starting the learning process. For this, special medical research techniques and appropriate equipment should be used. Those students who have certain deviations in the state of the visual or auditory analyzers (myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, hearing loss) should be taken on special account and periodically monitored for changes in the state of their analyzers during the educational process. For these students, it is necessary to establish individual regulations for visual and auditory loads and constantly monitor their strict observance. In addition, individual algorithms of daily physical activity should be developed for all students, since it is this aspect of a person's functional activity that plays an important role in maintaining the optimal state of his mental health. Conclusions. Our research has shown that the development and implementation of methods for maintaining the mental health of students and stimulating the cognitive functions of their central nervous system into the daily activities of higher educational institutions contribute to improving the quality of training of specialists and ensure their ability to effectively work in their chosen specialty.
