Research methods and organization. The pedagogical experiment involved students from all faculties of the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, totaling 160 participants. The experiment was conducted over two academic years. To verify its relevance, the IPAQ-SF questionnaire with author's additions was utilized.
Research results and conclusions. The study revealed that the greatest positive shifts in MET energy expenditures related to physical activity were observed among students from non-psychological specialties and fields of study. The MET values for a "Sedentary Lifestyle" remained invariant throughout the training period due to the specific nature of education and academic activities conducted in a seated position.
