The scientific video conference "Modern trends in the theory and methodology of physical education and sports training" was held on March 31 at the Volga Region University of Sports. The event was traditionally attended by students of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Volleyball and Basketball of our university and representatives of the Department of Physical Culture of the Pridnestrovian State University named after T. G. Shevchenko (Tiraspol).

The joint conference of the two universities is being held for the third time within the framework of the student scientific circle of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Volleyball and Basketball. The idea of holding it belongs to the associate professor of the Department of Theory and Methodology of Volleyball and Basketball Yulia Yemelyanova, who worked at the Pridnestrovian State University before moving to Kazan.   

The main purpose of this conference, according to Yulia Nikolaevna, is to gain students ' experience in research activities. The program of the event invariably includes a video meeting of university teachers, who gather to discuss their professional topics after the students ' speech.

Convincing evidence that the idea of holding such meetings turned out to be very successful is the interest of representatives of other universities in it. This year, the conference was attended by Fyodor Sobyanin, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor of the Belgorod State Research University. Fedor Ivanovich is a national delegate (official representative) of Russia in the International Federation of Physical Education (FIEP), an active participant in the European Congresses of this organization, as well as the head of the scientific school "Cultural and Acmeological approach in the field of physical culture".

A total of 17 reports were delivered during the conference. In particular, the results of their research were shared by several students of the Faculty of Physical Culture of BelGNIU.

At the same time, as Fyodor Sobyanin noted in his address to the participants of the conference, it actually represented not three, but four universities. After all, the co-speaker of one of the speakers on this day was a master's student of the Pedagogical Faculty of the West Kazakhstan University of Innovation and Technology (Uralsk).
