Sports competitions as a method of activating physical education and sports for students

In modern society, sport is widely represented in the system of upbringing and education of the younger generation, including students. The central link and effective means of physical education are sports competitions. As one of the methods of activating physical education and sports, competitions are included in the system of physical education of students. However, the fact that only a small part of the most prepared students participate in the competitions is not denied by specialists, but it is not taken into account in the aspect of increasing the mass of student sports. Therefore, the direction of research related to the organization of mass sports competitions of students is relevant.
