AbstractIntroduction. The article deals with an innovative approach to the dosing of physical activity taking into account the functional capabilities of adolescents and its impact on the mental performance of students. The aim of the study is to identify the impact of physical activity associated with the manifestation of general endurance on the mental performance of middle school students under different conditions of its dosing. Methodology. The study compares the effect of the load on general endurance without taking into account the physical capabilities of the organism of schoolchildren of grades 5–8 and in accordance with their functional fitness on the indicators of various properties of attention, semantic memory, and logical thinking. Results. The obtained data reflect the percentage ratio of adolescents with improvement, deterioration of mental performance indicators, as well as those in whom no changes were revealed taking into account individual intellectual development. It was revealed that after the differentiated approach, in contrast to the undifferentiated one, the majority of adolescents improved the indicators of attention span, the rate of intellectual tasks performance in the absence of mental efficiency exhaustion, also the number of memorized pairs of words increased, the number of errors in establishing semantic relations in judgments decreased. Conclusion. Differentiated approach to dosing of physical load in comparison with undifferentiated more often promotes improvement of stability and volume of attention, semantic memory and logical thinking of adolescents.
