Analysis of the current state of the level of knowledge and the students’ attitude to sports and health self-culture

In order to determine the current state of the level of knowledge and the attitude of students to sports and health self-culture, the indicators of self-assessment of students' knowledge about the mechanisms and factors that ensure the formation and preservation of health, subjective self-assessment of their health and attitude to sports and health self-culture were analyzed. The analysis of the obtained results reveals the existing contradictions between students' knowledge that health and fitness classes strengthen human health, and the volume and power of motor activity performed that are not optimal for health promotion. There is a low level of interest shown by students in various types of physical culture and recreation activities, the lack of special knowledge and skills of self-organization of individual classes, dissatisfaction with the content of the educational process in physical culture. The necessity of modernization of wellness physical culture education and development of the most effective methodological tools is emphasized.
