Abstract. The scientific article publishes the results of scientific research experimental work in the field of physical education of schoolchildren, analyzes the features of the organization of teaching a healthy lifestyle to students of different age groups by means of physical education classes, the conditions for increasing the functional reserves of the body of schoolchildren in the process of physical exercises, pedagogical conditions and methods of physical education of schoolchildren. It is noted that the volume of mastering motor skills, which increases every year, requires students to have great mental stress and physical effort. In this regard, the successful mastering of educational subjects depends not only on the desire and abilities of students, but also on their health and level of physical fitness. Measurements of the volume of necessary physical activity, performing important functions, are closely related to education, science, health care, culture and therefore reflect the social and economic life of each person and society as a whole. The important importance of physical culture and sports for schoolchildren is indicated by state documents adopted in the United States. The documents state that physical culture is an important factor in a healthy lifestyle, disease prevention, organization of meaningful leisure, formation of humanistic values and creation of conditions for comprehensive harmonious human development. Taking into account the data on the health status of schoolchildren of junior, middle and senior grades studied by scientists and taking into account the age characteristics of school-age children, in this work we pay attention to: fostering in them an interest and habit of doing physical exercises; fostering a caring attitude towards one's health; forming stable motivational guidelines for a healthy lifestyle; awareness of the need to develop one's physical abilities and motor skills and abilities; fostering moral-volitional and psychological qualities of students by means of physical training. The upbringing of children and schoolchildren by means of physical culture and sports can be carried out during the educational process in educational institutions in curricular and extracurricular activities, as well as outside of school. The key content areas of such activities are studying methods of regulating physical activity, conducting training, enriching motor experience, and other forms of work with children and youth.
Keywords: volume of physical activity, adaptation to motor actions, healthy lifestyle, education system, schoolchildren,
physical education, importance of physical culture, age characteristics.
