THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY SPORTS ENVIRONMENT IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS

Abstract

Physical education is an important aspect of student education in modern higher education institutions. In the period when there is a general tendency to decrease the level of health of the population, the higher education institution has a special role in training a competent, competitive person capable of self-development throughout life. In this regard, one of the most important tasks of the sports environment at the university is to create conditions for the successful realization of the students' potential. Also, at the global level, on September 25, 2015, 193 member states of the United Nations adopted 17 goals in the field of sustainable development and undertook 169 commitments for their implementation. One of the goals of sustainable development is called "Good health and well-being" and aims to ensure a healthy lifestyle and promote the well-being of every person of all ages. Studies related to the influence of the university sports environment on the formation and development of students play an important role in understanding the processes of adaptation and personality formation of young people. Sports, as one of the main activities of the student community, contributes not only to physical development, but also to the formation of students' social skills, strengthening health and increasing general activity.
