Introduction
.
The development of each society is directly related to the health and
physical strength of its members. After all, a healthy generation is the guarantee
of the future of the nation. In today's globalization environment, strengthening
human health and encouraging physical activity are becoming one of the
priorities of state policy. In particular, the widespread promotion of physical
education and sports in educational institutions plays an important role in the
formation of the younger generation as not only physically, but also morally,
intellectually and socially mature people.
In many cases, sports and physical education are limited only to
competitions or training, but this concept is perceived in a very narrow circle. In
fact, sports are a powerful tool that forms such qualities as discipline, will,
teamwork, mutual respect and striving for the goal. Physical education not only
strengthens the div, but also stabilizes the psychological state of a person and
forms a positive attitude towards life.
Problems such as inactivity, malnutrition and stress are becoming
increasingly common among today's youth. This can negatively affect their
health, future activities and, in general, their place in society. Therefore, physical
education and health promotion activities should become an integral part of the
educational process. This thesis discusses the educational value of physical

education, the impact of sports on human character and social life, as well as
effective methods for forming a healthy lifestyle in educational institutions.
Physical education and sports have a great impact not only on
strengthening a person's physical health, but also on his mental development
and social adaptation. The role of physical education in today's educational
institutions is not limited to physical exercises, but also encourages young
people to be disciplined, goal-oriented and strong-willed. In particular, regular
sports participation helps to form leadership qualities in the younger
generation. Physical education not only strengthens the div physically, but also
has a positive effect on the human psyche, preventing stress and depression.
Today, due to technological progress, a sedentary lifestyle is becoming
widespread among young people. Many people spend most of their time in front
of a computer or phone, which leads to health problems, especially overweight,
the development of spinal and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, promoting
physical education and a healthy lifestyle in educational institutions should be
considered not only as a mandatory subject, but also as a necessary life skill for
every student.
One of the most important aspects of physical education is its educational
value. Sport teaches a person discipline, forms the ability to set the right goal
and strive for it. For example, team sports develop communication skills among
young people and help them quickly adapt to society. Martial arts increase the
ability to make independent decisions and self-confidence.
In addition, sport also forms the moral qualities of a person. It is precisely
through sports that qualities such as honesty, appreciation of hard-earned
results, and drawing the right conclusions from defeat are instilled in the minds
of young people. The culture of respectful approach to opponents during
training, mutual solidarity and support is also important in the future life of
young people.
Another important aspect of physical education is its role in forming a
culture of a healthy lifestyle. If a student or pupil is involved in sports from a
young age, it will later become an integral part of his life. This will help the
future generation grow up healthy and strong. Therefore, it is necessary to
organize physical education and health promotion activities in educational
institutions not only during the lesson, but also through extracurricular
activities, sports clubs and competitions. Physical education is not only a means
of strengthening physical health, but also an important factor in the
comprehensive development of a person. Through sports, not only physical

strength is formed in the younger generation, but also qualities such as strong
will, discipline, teamwork and striving for a goal. Therefore, the development of
physical education in educational institutions and the promotion of a healthy
lifestyle should remain one of the main values that serve the sustainable
development of society.
Theoretical basis:
There are various pedagogical and psychological theories about the role of
physical education and sports in the educational process, which emphasize the
importance of physical activity in the comprehensive development of a person.
The ancient Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle also considered physical
education necessary for personal development. In their opinion, the spiritual
and physical development of a person are inextricably linked, and both are
considered important for the development of society. Plato, in his works,
emphasized the formation of such qualities in a person as courage, endurance
and willpower through sports. Later, thinkers such as Y.A. Komensky, J.J.
Rousseau and K.D. Ushinsky, among the pedagogues of the New Age, also noted
that physical education is one of the main components of child education. For
example, Komensky, in his work "Great Didactics", emphasized the importance
of physical education and movement in the educational process, saying that a
child's ability to learn depends on his physical condition. Ushinsky, in turn,
showed that physical education has a positive effect on a person's mental
development and that sports have a special place in child education.
In today's modern educational theories, physical education and sports are
considered the main factor that directly affects the physical, psychological and
moral development of a person. Also, from the point of view of pedagogical
psychology, sports and physical education develop social competencies in a
person. The positive effect of physical activity on children's thinking, emotional
state and intellectual abilities, starting from preschool education, has been
proven by scientific research. For example, modern neuropsychological studies
show that physical activity increases children's cognitive abilities, that is, it has a
positive effect on attention, memory and logical thinking processes.
Self-control and a sense of self-confidence are formed through sports.
Psychological theories of personality development, in particular, the teachings of
L.S. Vygotsky and J. Piaget, show the connection between physical activity and
social adaptation. Vygotsky emphasizes the importance of movement and the
social environment in child development, and says that physical education can
help a child socialize and form his communicative abilities. Piaget notes that the

development of a child's thinking directly depends on his activity, and that
movement accelerates the child's cognitive development.
Sports also help maintain a person's emotional balance. Psychologists have
found that physical activity is an effective tool against depression and stress.
Sports play a particularly important role in reducing psychological stress among
young people and improving their adaptation to social life. Therefore, organizing
sports events in educational institutions is considered important not only for
strengthening physical health, but also for stabilizing the mental state of
students, forming strong-willed qualities in them and increasing motivation.
In general, it has been theoretically proven that physical education and
sports are not only a means of preserving and strengthening human health, but
also an important factor in the comprehensive development of the individual.
Therefore, it is necessary to approach physical education in educational
institutions based on innovative pedagogical approaches, and to conduct sports
classes in an interesting and interactive way. This will help the younger
generation to become both healthy and intellectually developed people in the
future.
Physical education and sports in educational institutions are of great
importance in the physical, mental and moral development of the younger
generation. Physical education, along with strengthening a person's physical
health, also has a positive effect on his psychological state. Therefore, each
educational institution should pay special attention to sports and health-
improving activities in its educational programs. After all, a healthy generation is
not only physically strong, but also disciplined, determined and confident in
their life goals.
Today, problems related to inactivity and stress are increasingly common
among young people. This can seriously affect their physical and mental health
in the future. It is through physical education that it is possible to increase the
motivation of young people, involve them in social activity and form a healthy
lifestyle. In educational institutions, the attitude towards sports should be
considered not only as a compulsory subject, but also as a value that is
important for human life.
Sport shapes a person’s character, instilling in him qualities such as
courage, endurance and goal-orientedness. Team sports help a person to
socialize, adapt to the team environment and feel like an important member of
the team. During training, students test their abilities, increase their self-
confidence and strive for success. Sport is not only a physical activity, but also a

path to spiritual maturity. As a result, the need to further increase the
educational value of physical education and sports in educational institutions
becomes clear. By introducing innovative methods and conducting sports events
in an interesting and interactive way, it is possible to increase the interest of the
younger generation in sports. It should be remembered that physical education
is an important factor not only in strengthening physical health, but also in
social, moral and mental development.
In the future, raising a healthy and strong generation, forming their positive
attitude to life should be one of the priority tasks of the education system.
Because physically healthy and spiritually strong people are one of the most
important factors in the development of society. Therefore, by strengthening the
promotion of sports and physical education, developing a healthy lifestyle, it is
possible to achieve the formation of not only a physically healthy, but also a
harmonious generation.
Conclusion
:
One of the important factors in the development of modern society is the
upbringing of a healthy and physically strong generation. The systematic
introduction of physical education and sports in educational institutions is
important not only for strengthening the health of young people, but also for
forming their willpower, increasing discipline, teamwork and self-confidence.
Sport teaches a person to make the right decisions, realize their capabilities and
be persistent in life's trials.
Physical education is not limited to physical training, but also has a strong
impact on the human mind. Regular physical activity increases a person's stress
resistance, improves mental activity, and forms a positive attitude towards life.
Therefore, it is necessary to widely promote the culture of a healthy lifestyle in
educational institutions, teach the younger generation to be physically active,
and make sports a part of everyday life.
Also, through sports, young people acquire such important qualities as goal-
setting, hard work, patience, and striving for victory. They understand that
success in life can be achieved step by step, just like the results achieved in
sports. Therefore, sports are not only physical training, but also a means of
personal development and achieving goals set for themselves.
From this point of view, the development of physical education in educational
institutions serves not only to improve the health of students, but also to
improve the quality of their overall education. Because young people who are
engaged in physical activity, while paying attention to their health, achieve high

results in the process of studying. This will become the basis for the formation of
a healthy, harmonious and intellectually developed generation for society in the
future. In conclusion, the development of physical education and sports in
educational institutions serves not only physical health, but also psychologically
and morally to develop a person as a mature person. Therefore, each educational
institution should see physical education not only as a lesson, but also as an
important value aimed at educating healthy and mature individuals of society.
After all, a healthy div is a guarantee of a healthy soul, a healthy society and a
happy future.
