Abstract

In this article historical and contemporary influence of physical education (PE) and sport instances are shown in economic indices. The notion “health”, as well as the influence of physical education and sport at its level, is given. Health-detrimental behavior (malnutrition, physical inactivity, alcohol abuse and smoking) can be the cause of chronic diseases and have a significant influence on health of citizens. Experimental data, which approve that bad working conditions and health-detrimental behavior can discourage productivity and extend the periods of temporary incapacity for work, are marked. In addition, there is an access to the majority of the adult population, which provides a perfect opportunity for healthy lifestyle campaign. Consequently, the campaigns aimed at health improvement of the employable population at their working places, have potentials for a wide population segment engagement, which cannot be accessible for other medical campaigns. Experimental data on increase in labour productivity and economic effectiveness improvement by means of physical education are given; the latter was applied to people at their work during the soviet period, when the large-scale research was made. The necessity of physical education integration in the productive process is proved, which will finally have a positive impact on the whole economy.

In such a way, the new stage of economic development and an economic and social situation decline predetermine the necessity of detailed research of human resources, especially the employable population aiming at prognostics of possible economic consequences. Beginning with the nineties of the 20th century and till nowadays, health deterioration and length of life shortening of the population are observed everywhere in Russia, leading to the decrease of such economic resource as human potential of the country. A health indicator is the main criterion characterizing the labour potential of the population and other components depending upon it
