The purpose of the work is to investigate the dynamics of stress and motor indicators of high school students in the process of physical exercises (using the example of boxing). Materials and methods. The research involved 64 high school students (boys) (17 years old). A pedagogical experiment was conducted, for which two groups were formed: control (CG, n = 31) and experimental (EG, n = 33). The CG high school students were trained according to the current physical education curriculum, and the EG high school students were trained according to the methodology we proposed, which involved boxing. The following indicators were studied: stress indicators (anxiety, stress resistance, stress level); motor indicators (coordination and strength endurance, speed and strength endurance). Results. A methodology for reducing high school students’ stress indicators as well as improving the motor indicators through boxing in the process of physical education has been developed. Testing the methodology’s effectiveness has shown significantly better results in the EG high school students than in the CG in all stress and motor indicators. Thus, from boxing training, the EG high school students showed statistically significant reduction the stress and anxiety level, and improvement in stress resistance and speed and strength endurance, as well as coordination and strength endurance level. Conclusions. A high level of development of physical qualities in the dynamics of boxing training sessions, a decrease in the level of anxiety and stress in high school students, as well as an increase in stress resistance, will contribute to strengthening the physical and mental health of high school students, improving their academic performance, and achieving self-realization in the future.
