It proved that, compared female students, score male statistically significantly (U=226269.5; Z=7.329; p<0.05). dynamics demonstrated while regardless gender status, decreased beginning (p<0.05), it did not differ pre-quarantine level (p>0.05) 2021. Nevertheless, with outbreak hostilities Ukraine, has continues decline. There an unprecedented increase percentage low PA, reached 43.1% 60.1% among respectively, 2023. Conclusions: analysis period 2019 2023 revealed decrease during learning period, status. only exception 2021, can be explained adaptation learning. Instead, armed conflict country led sharp decline significant (p<0.05) proportion Moreover, this trend continued findings made possible extent negative impact under law students.
