The article deals with the problems of students’ healthcare of higher educational establishments. The Law of Ukraine «On Education», «The National Doctrine of the Development of Education in Ukraine», «The Concepts of Children and Youth Education in the National System of Education» emphasize the need to create organizational, psychological and pedagogical conditions for the personal and physical development and self-development of students, their self-realization in accordance with abilities, social and personal interests, preparation for independent life. The aim of the research is to find out the state of the students’ health culture formation and the ways to increase the level of health culture in the educational process of higher education. Pedagogical conditions for the health culture formation include the educational environment, that is the teacher of physical education, and the students’ involvement in sports and mass recreational work outside the classroom. It is necessary to offer students the opportunity to be engaged in motor activity at a time convenient for them, that is, to combine the directions of physical culture – physical education with mass sports, aimed at providing motor activity of students during their leisure time. The forms of conducting physical education classes (on a student’s choice) can be fitness classes, cheerleading, table tennis, badminton, power fitness, volleyball, football, aerobics, sports dances, etc. It is understandable that such forms of conducting classes require financial support to the higher educational establishments, which financially will not be able to provide themselves with such a wide range of health-motor programs. At the state level, this should be included into the legislative documents and be financially supported. An analysis of the questionnaire among students is given on the basis of which students choose modern, rather than classical, physical education, including strength fitness, dance fitness, cross-fitness, table tennis, badminton, football, volleyball, basketball; and a new form of conducting classes is a section work in stead of classical physical education classes.

The Difference

AbstractObjectiveThe current research examined the association between state disfavoured tax on soda (i.e. the difference between soda sales tax and the tax on food products generally) and a summary score representing the strength of state laws governing competitive beverages (beverages that compete with the beverages in the federally funded school lunch programme) in US schools.DesignThe Classification of Laws Associated with School Students (CLASS) summary score reflected the strength of a state's laws restricting competitive beverages sold in school stores, vending machines, school fundraisers and à la carte cafeteria items. Bridging the Gap (BTG) is a nationally recognized research initiative that provided state-level soda tax data. The main study outcome was the states’ competitive beverage summary scores for elementary, middle and high school grade levels, as predicted by the states’ disfavoured soda tax. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted, adjusting for year and state.SettingData from BTG and CLASS were used.SubjectsBTG and CLASS data from all fifty states and the District of Columbia from 2003 to 2010 were used.ResultsA higher disfavoured soda sales tax was generally associated with an increased likelihood of having strong school beverage laws across grade levels, and especially when disfavoured soda sales tax was >5 %.ConclusionsThese data suggest a concordance between states’ soda taxes and laws governing beverages sold in schools. States with high disfavoured sales tax on soda had stronger competitive beverage laws, indicating that the state sales tax environment may be associated with laws governing beverage policy in schools.

Rapid Transition

The unexpectedly rapid transition to online education in the 2nd semester of 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak became a challenge for the domestic educators in Physical Education. Despite the abundance of newest health-tracking and sports devices, apps, and online platforms and channels, appropriate sport facilities and equipment are still necessary due to safety restrictions and for conduction of good quality PE and sports classes. Ukrainian climate conditions do not allow a year-round outdoor training in the public premises. Lack of sports equipment in private apartments, insufficient supply of Ukrainian families with computers and telephones of the new generation, lack of Internet access in 35% of families, inability to use sports facilities even for teachers for shooting video lessons, etc. resulted in a drop in the success of university students of PE departments. The failure of half-a-year PE classes’ results on the state level was eloquently pronounced with the Ministry of Education official recommending assessment of students’ year PE results by the I-st semester grades. Thus, the need to analyze the efficiency of online-teaching experience in domestic physical education arose. The article analyses the pitfalls of the introduction of distance education in the field of physical education of students of Ukrainian universities according to the criteria of effectiveness proposed by A. Veremchuk (effectiveness, accessibility to all segments of the population, resource intensity, efficiency, democratic communication "teacher-student", and comprehensive software technologies) and recommendations for compensation of the mentioned problem.

Nationally Representative

Background: Schools are a setting in which students learn about the importance of lifelong physical activity (PA). Best practice guidelines indicate that schools should provide students with adequate physical education (PE) minutes and opportunities to engage in PA throughout the school day. Methods: Data from the nationally representative School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study in 2014–2015 were utilized to assess PA practices (including PE) at 412 public elementary schools. These data were linked to state- and district-level policy data from the National Wellness Policy Study to examine the relationships between state law and school district policies and school practices. Results: Just over half of the schools were in a state with a policy regarding PE minutes. The comprehensiveness and strength of PA policies were higher at the district level than the state level, but were still low overall. Comprehensiveness of PA policies at the state level, but not at the district level, was related to schools within those states that provide more PA practices. Conclusions: Existence of PE and PA policies at the state level appears to be an important predictor of school PA practices. Having more comprehensive policies at the state level may be an important facilitator of school implementation of comprehensive PA practices.

Meta Analyses

Background:Schools must play a central role in combating the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and youths. This cannot be achieved without more robust policy and funding programs at both federal and state levels.Methods:Reviews of meta-analyses were used to assess the efficacy of improving PA/MVPA through interventions in school physical education programs. Individual research studies were reviewed to assess the efficacy of improving PA/MVPA in preschool settings, recess, and classroom activity breaks. Legislation at the federal and state levels was reviewed along with surveillance and accountability mechanisms at the state level.Results:Physical education interventions produce improvements in PA/MVPA if protocols relating to use of time are followed. PA/MVPA in recess can be increased through careful planning for attractive activity opportunities on carefully designed playgrounds. Classroom activity breaks provide important PA/MVPA daily and improve student on-task behavior.Conclusions:Federal legislation is needed to provide guidelines and financial support for states to improve the quantity and quality of PA in school programs. States need to develop clear expectations for quantity and quality of PA programs in schools, surveillance systems to monitor district compliance in meeting those expectations, and an accountability system aimed at ensuring that state expectations are being met with assistance for districts that do not meet expectations.

The issue of functioning of the sphere of physical education and sports in the conditions of insufficient coverage of various sports activities of youth and deterioration of health of the average Ukrainian is understudied. The purpose of this study is to describe the basic components of public administration in the field of physical education and sports. The following methods were used in the study: search, analysis of the available methodological and scientific literature, classification, clarification of causal relationships, systematisation of key points of the above issues. In the course of the literature review, the study identified the current state of research on the subject matter and defined its perspective. It is noted that in the times of high technology and food abundance, there is a decrease in physical activity. The study indicates an urgent need to update and promote the development of mass physical education and sports. The study describes the current state of government regulation in the sphere of physical education and sports. It is established that the unresolved issues of certain areas will weaken the dynamics of development of physical education and sports. Effective development of physical education and mass sports by the state and its accompanying sustainable humanitarian effects among the population of Ukraine are possible only based on comprehensive scientifically sound infrastructure and organisational and managerial decisions in all corresponding areas. The study states the impossibility of solving the entire set of problems that exist in the field of physical education and sports by carrying out separate actions that are not interrelated. It is concluded that the close relationship between the processes that take place in this area with the processes taking place in society indicate the need to use the programme-target method to successfully solve problems in the field of physical culture and sports at the state level
