the research goal is to clarify the effectiveness of the immersive simulator for physical education training of university students. The study objectives are to identify the main characteristics of the immersive simulator for teaching physical education; to identify the main points of view of experts regarding the effectiveness of such a technology within the framework of the course of physical education at the university; as well as in the generalization of the data obtained in the empirical part of the study. The research methodology is based on the health-improving and adaptive approach and includes general scientific methods (generalization, systematization, formal logical method), as well as special methods: historiographic analysis of the scientific discourse of the topic under study, the method of expert assessments, the method of statistical analysis. Based on the study results, the following conclusion was formulated: the introduction of immersive simulators significantly increases the level of students’ involvement in the process of mastering physical education with a subsequent deep understanding of the essence of a healthy lifestyle. Immersive simulators also allow students to analyze the effectiveness of physical education training in real time, which significantly speeds up the process of learning physical exercise complexes.

the article reveals an actual problem of the development of pedagogy of higher school in the field of teaching physical education. The research goal is to summarize the scientifically developed methods of forming motivation for physical education among students in a non-specialized university. The study objectives are: consideration of historiography on the topic under study; systematization of expert assessments and analysis of the results obtained based on the results of the empirical study. Such methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization and formal-logical analysis are used. Within the framework of the empirical part of the study, the author applies the historiographical analysis of scientific literature on the topic under study; method of expert assessments, method of statistical analysis of results. Based on the study results, the following conclusions were formulated: the most effective methods for increasing motivation for teaching physical education at the university are the introduction of practice-oriented classes; conducting master classes in popular sports, as well as the use of innovative technologies and methods (gamification using virtual and augmented reality).

the article reveals an actual problem of methods used to determine the readiness of athletes for winter sports competitions. The study goal is to identify the most effective methods for determining the readiness of winter sports athletes for competitions. The research objectives are to establish experts’ opinions on the topic under study; to identify the most effective methods in the course of empirical research; to analyze the data obtained. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach and includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, formal logical method), as well as special methods: historiographic analysis of scientific literature on the topic of research, the method of expert survey, the method of statistical analysis. Based on the study results, the following conclusions were formulated: the most effective methods for determining the readiness of athletes for winter sports competitions are tests of physical indicators for strength, endurance, speed and coordination; tests for psychological readiness for competitions, as well as monitoring of recovery after training. These regular testing methods allow coaches to identify fitness levels and adjust training plans in a timely manner.

the article reveals an actual problem of the introduction of health-improving physical education in the practice of foreign countries. The research goal is to identify the degree of effectiveness of this type of physical education in foreign countries in terms of applicability to various categories of citizens. The study objectives were to analyze the theoretical aspects in the scientific literature on the topic under study; to consider the evaluative judgments of experts regarding the problems under study, as well as in the analysis of the results obtained in the course of empirical research. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach and includes the methods of comparison, synthesis, formal logical analysis, as well as historiographical analysis of the scientific discourse of the topic under study; the method of expert assessments (in-depth interview), the method of statistical analysis. Based on the results, the author of the article came to the following conclusion: in Europe, the main attention is paid to programs that include elements of physical activity not only to improve physical condition, but also to increase psycho-emotional well-being. In the Scandinavian countries (Sweden and Norway), the concept of «active recreation» is successfully implemented. In the United States, the emphasis is on an interdisciplinary approach, in which physical education is closely related to medicine. In Asia, especially in Japan, traditional forms of physical activity such as tai chi and yoga are actively developing.
