Abstract

The article examines that human health is a socially significant phenomenon, the level and condition of which is used to judge the well-being of society. The higher the level of culture of health of the whole society, the higher the level of culture of healthy lifestyle of each person. Today, an alarming trend of deterioration in the health of children and adolescents, student youth, and the adult population is increasingly evident. A significant number of children of preschool and school age have deviations in the state of physical and mental health. Many students require inpatient treatment, and many teachers have chronic illnesses. Deterioration of the state of health occurs against the background of low physical activity, hypodynamism among children and adults of Ukraine has reached great importance. It has been proven that the increase in the prevalence of smoking, alcohol and drug use among young people, addiction to computer games, and insufficient physical activity indicate a low level of health culture, as well as the ineffectiveness of existing forms of physical education both in organized groups and in the family. The main source of development and strengthening of human health resources is systematic motor activity throughout a person’s life. It is physical education, the subject "Physical culture" in educational institutions that is designed to form a person’s need for health promotion, systematic physical education and sports. However, the modern system of physical education in the process of its development and improvement reveals a number of contradictions. It has been found that when solving tasks related to the formation of a culture of personal health at different stages of age development, it is appropriate to turn to the system of physical education, which covers various educational institutions and types of education, within the framework of which it is possible to solve learning tasks, education and development of children, youth, adults in the aspect of involving them in a healthy lifestyle, formation of health motivation, training in physical culture and health activities. Recently, a social phenomenon has emerged in Ukraine, which is expressed in people’s interest in preserving and strengthening their health as a basis for active longevity and success in professional activities. It is realized that today there are contradictions between the leading values of a healthy lifestyle and the lack of a motivated need of the majority of the population for regular physical education and sports, the inconsistency of the declared goals of physical education and the real possibilities of their implementation for each individual person, and the need for a comprehensive formation of a healthy lifestyle and the lack of development of the methodology learning the basics of a healthy lifestyle. Despite the fact that every year more and more people visit fitness clubs, regular physical education and sports activities among different categories of the population, unfortunately, have not yet acquired the features of a sustainable and integral system of behavior.
