Physical education of students online: specifics and necessity

In this paper, the actual problems of distance learning are considered, namely, the need for the organization of distance learning in the discipline «Physical Culture» for students. Based on the conducted research, it was concluded that the improvement of distance learning is a necessity. To solve this problem, recommendations were developed for the organization of academic classes in the discipline «Physical Culture» in the online format. Improvement of the system of organization of distance education is necessary in modern conditions of development of society. The proposed variants of the educational process have a number of advantages and disadvantages, so their complex use is not considered. The problems largely lie in the fact that it is impossible to quickly and effectively deform the educational process into a different form, so these methods may be relevant in a certain period of time or used as additional tasks for full - time academic classes.
