Sports rating as a factor increasing number of avid sportsmen among students

Objective: to increase number of students who do sports systematically and actively. Researchers conducted by scientists among students of different colleges and universities including medical ones show that the youngsters have low physical readiness and are not motivated enough to do sports. The authors of article presume that level of physical readiness and motivation for sports may be increased by introduction of sports rating into educational process in colleges and universities. Sports rating had been introduced into educational program in Voyno-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University, and in a year the number of students actively participating in sports events notably increased (by 22 %). If the special rating of students participating in sports events is introduced in college or university it helps rapidly and notably increase number of avid sportsmen among students.
