Studies demonstrate to investigate the impact of team-sport gameson the formation of theoretical knowledge and tactical thinking in freshmen students of Zaporizhzhia National University (ZNU). Methods. Overall, 163 freshmen students (57 handball players, 51 football players and 55 basketball players) were enrolled. To assess the influence of training practices in team-sport gameson the level of theoretical knowledge and tactical thinking of ZNU students, we conducted and analyzed the dynamics of the relevant indicators. The recorded data was compared at the beginning and end of the study. The levels of theoretical knowledge and tactical thinking of the students involved in basketball, handball and football was assessed using the innovation computer program. Results. It was observed that most of the investigated characteristics in all studied groups of students steadily improved during the year. The tactical thinking level of student athletes with excellent value in performance football was 15.69%; in handball – 33.33%; in basketball – 14.55%. The theoretical thinking level of student athletes with excellent value in performance football was 19.61%; in handball –36.84%; in basketball – 16.36%. Conclusions. Handball help expedite the flow of thought processes directed at finding efficient ways of problem-solving and achieving goals on the court, and developing a sense of extrapolating the technical actions that may occur during the game. Key words: students, basketball, handball, football, computer program Introduction In modern team-sport games, in the foreground system perceptual-intellectual, emotional, and volitional processes occur in ever-changing conditions of activity with minimal time to understand and analyze situations, decision-making and implementation, with the active counteraction rivals. Competitive activity requires not only accuracy of perception of objects, rapid response and execution of motor actions, but also the operational mental activity, providing analysis of the situation, the selection and implementation of optimal solutions of a certain number of alternatives [Borgeset al, 2015; Izzo&Varde, 2018; Tyshchenko, 2016]. The complexity of the tactical action in team-sport gamesdetermined difficulties in the perception of situations that occur immediately during a game. The implementation of tactics for student athletes are characterized by two levels of operational objectives: sensory-perceptual and prognostic. In the first level, there is a choice among several solutions in response to unexpected situations as they arise, in the second level – the decision comes as a result of the rules that take in the account the actions of the contender and reflexive behavior[Kozina et al, 2017; Menegassi, 2018;Tyshchenko, 2015]. Material And Methods Participants 163 freshmen students of Zaporizhzhia National University (ZNU) were participated in the experiment (57 handball players, 51 football players and 55 basketball players, all male). All students volunteered to participate in the test. Prior to the testing, the procedures were explained to the students, including the possible risks involved, and an informed consent form was signed. In the end of the experiment, the participants were tested. They were free from any injury or neuromuscular disorder.
