The study is devoted to the analysis of the differentiation of physical training of female students of pedagogical specialties in volleyball classes, taking into account subject specialization and distribution of game roles. The aim of the work is to substantiate the differentiation on the basis of subject specialization and distribution of game roles in the improvement of physical training of female students of pedagogical specialties in volleyball classes. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive study was conducted, which included observation, survey, and analysis of specific requirements for physical training in different roles. The observation covered classes and training sessions, and the survey allowed us to identify the peculiarities of students' perception and attitude to the training process, as well as their preferences for physical activity and roles that correspond to their professional fields. The survey involved 46 female respondents, which allowed us to get a clear picture of the adaptation of training programs for different categories of students. The results of the study confirmed that specialization in playing roles (attacker, setter, libero) can significantly increase the effectiveness of the training process, taking into account the physiological and psychological characteristics of female students. The generalized results demonstrate that the roles of attacker and setter are optimal for female students of STEM fields, setter for humanities, attacker for future physical education teachers, and libero for primary school students. The developed recommendations can be used to improve the methodology of physical education in higher education institutions, contributing to the effective combination of sports training with future teaching activities.
