In modern conditions, physical training of students at a university, the tasks of which are not only to improve the body and develop general physical qualities, but also to form professionally significant skills and special physical qualities that contribute to more effective activities of future specialists, is becoming particularly relevant. Thus, the professionally significant qualities of future engineers include: a high level of organization of the nervous system and functioning of analyzers, high efficiency and resistance to fatigue, good reaction speed, high concentration and switchability of attention, high level of perception and developed observation, formed practical thinking, stress resistance, determination, high coordination of movement, developed fine motor skills of the hands, the ability to quickly rebuild motor actions in accordance with suddenly changed conditions. Physical education and sports require the same qualities, so its means and methods can be used as training for engineering students. However, it should be understood that the attitude of students to this discipline may vary depending on their future professional orientation. This work is aimed at analyzing the peculiarities of students' perception of the discipline "Physical Culture" depending on the chosen field of professional activity, including a survey of students of various fields in order to identify their attitude to the subject, factors affecting attendance, physical activity and visits to sports institutions.
