How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines the integration of music mobile applications into the educational process within the discipline of Physical Education among university students. A comprehensive analysis of current research was conducted, focusing on the effects of musical accompaniment on students’ cognitive, emotional, and physiological responses during physical activity. The experimental study involved 60 students, divided into control and experimental groups. During the trial phase, mobile applications were used to personalize music track selection based on genre, tempo, and rhythm according to individual student preferences. The results demonstrated a significant increase in student engagement and improvement in emotional state. Positive changes were observed in anxiety levels and negative attitudes toward physical education classes. The subjective perception of physical exertion in the experimental group shifted toward a favorable range, suitable for cardio and aerobic training. Integrating music mobile applications into physical education practice encourages a positive attitude toward physical activity, enhances student involvement, and helps develop a sustainable habit of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The implementation of modern digital solutions, such as music-based mobile applications, contributes to the individualization of the educational process by making physical education more responsive to each student’s needs. The findings of this pedagogical study confirm that the integration of mobile technologies supports the modernization of traditional approaches to teaching physical education, expands the range of educational tools, and increases students’ motivation to engage in regular physical activity.
