It is noted that the increase in the intensity of modern life simultaneously increases the level of the total load received by a person in the course of daily life and worsens his health. The position is put forward that it is physical recreation that provides the restoration of the body's vital forces and their maintenance in the process of daily life, taking into account. The factors of inclusion of various types of physical exercises in the content of recreational forms of training are determined and justified. Relevance.

A special role in this process belongs to physical recreation, as a form of physical culture, which allows you to optimize the functional state of a person, its main mechanisms. The problem of research – excessive breadth of ideas about the content of physical recreation makes it difficult to achieve its main goal ‒ to restore the vitality of any person. Methods.
