The age of the respondents ranged from 17 to 23 years. Results and conclusions. The results of the survey indicate that the formation of motivation for physical culture and sports is possible only by increasing the physical education of students in practical issues of using various means and methods of maintaining health, achieving an understanding that physical culture is an integral part of the general culture of a modern specialist.
