Abstract

The article reveals the features of recreational athleticism with students of higher educational institutions. The concept of "athleticism" is revealed. It has been proven that it is athleticism that is the most popular sport among college students. The article reveals the influence of athleticism on the level of physical fitness of students of higher educational institutions in the process of physical education classes. The analysis of literary sources showed a tendency towards a constant deterioration in the state of health of young people, a decrease in motivation for physical education classes. Therefore, the issue of introducing recreational classes with athleticism as the need to improve the means of physical education, taking into account gender and age, individual characteristics, needs, motives and interests of students, is urgent.
 The most acute problem facing high school today is the serious deterioration of the health of student youth. This is especially true for freshmen due to their lack of experience in adapting to the new socio-economic and psychological-pedagogical status of the student. In addition, in the context of quarantine and distance learning, the issue of youth health is quite relevant.
 In today's conditions of education, the system of physical education in higher education institutions does not solve its main and important task - maintaining the health and physical fitness of students at the appropriate level. It does not take into account the interests and needs of students, does not contribute to sustainable motivation for physical activity, the formation of physical culture of the student's personality.
