In the course of these discussions, the proponents of some points of view reject the expediency of paying attention to the other approaches and offer their point of view as the "ultimate truth". In this work, an attempt is made to analyze the experience of getting out of similar situations in modern psychology and apply it to the field of physical education. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the expediency of using the principle of constructive alternativeism in physical education. Material and methods. In the process of research, the method of analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature was used. Results.
