Introduction. In recent years, there has been a sharp deterioration in the health and physical fitness of students. Only about 10% adolescents can be considered healthy, more than 40% suffer from chronic diseases. Diseases of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are rapidly progressing, which are largely due to insufficient physical activity of children. More than 50% of girls and boys, graduating from school, already have two or three chronic diseases, and in general, only 15% of graduates can be considered practically healthy.
