Abstract

The article features the historiography and sources on the issue of physical culture and sport developmentin the Kemerovo region at the turn of the XXI century. Having analyzed a wide range of publications (monographs, articles, dissertation abstracts, academic and journalistic literature), the authors came to the conclusion that certain material has already been summarized on this topic. The study offers a detailed description of the changes in the legislative field that were made to ensure a better functioning of the system of physical culture and sports in the Kemerovo region in 1991–2007. However, the development process of physical culture and sport movement in the region remains poorly investigated. The same can be said about the issues related to the material-technical base of the Kuzbass sports and the system of sport personnel training in the region. In the domestic literature there are no works devoted to the complex process of development of physical culture and sports movement in the Kemerovo region in the period. The analysis of the sources on the selected theme has revealed that the most informative among them were two classes of written sources: legislative and documentary. The available range of sources has allowed the authors to trace the process of development of physical culture and sports region in the conditions of changing socio-economic development model of the country.
