STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS

Abstract

In the article, the problem of students’ attitude to physical culture and sports is considered as an actual socio-pedagogical problem. The necessity of increasing the motivation of students for systematic physical culture and sports in the educational space of the University is justified. The main activities of students in their free time are defined, the main motivations of students to engage in physical culture and sports are formulated, and the results of a study conducted at the Vologda State University are presented. The paper gives the author’s interpretation of the reasons for the decrease in students’ interest in regular physical education and sports, and suggests ways to solve this problem.
