Forms and methods of motivating students to physical training

The paper presents an analysisof the leading forms and ways to motivate students to physical training. Change of the target orientation of physical education, theessence of which is reduced to the formation of the physical culture of the individual, requires improving the quality of education,development of new pedagogical and institutional frameworks that provide student-oriented education and training. It is shown that oneof the reasons for low physical activity of students is the lack of optimal motivational complex. Formation of the need for movement is apriority in training and athletic activities, it is possible on the basis of systematic studies. Accounting for the initial motivation forphysical exercise helps to correct the direction of the motives that do not possess sufficient stability to ensure the spread of the motiffrom the results onto the activity itself. Therefore, based on the classification of the motives prompting we should identify the leadingmotives of physical activity among students. Through the activities emanating from certain motives, pursuing some goals and problemsolving, a person expresses their attitude to the environment, and this attitude (behaviour) correlates both with the internal and theexternal (subjective and objective). Therefore, studying the motives of business, we understand not only the degree of interest in it, butwe can assume that the level of activity in this area and its orientation. If we consider the problem specifically applying it to physicalactivity, having determined the motives of students we can assume if they will work out independently or their ultimate goal is gettingcredits. However, the motive may have the ultimate goal, and may move to the activity itself or a result of it, such as playing the game.Thus, by taking into account the initial motives for athletic activities and using corrective elements in teaching methods we can replacethe temporary motives of obtaining the result (positive markers) by a more stable process, the motives of exercising. The formation of anoptimal set of motivational physical training depends on following the principle of reason in learning, using problem tasks,psychological comfort, democratic style of communication, situation of choice, using optimal complexity of tasks, taking into accountthe preferences of students of exercise with gaming oriented, regular attendance, increasing importance of personal training and athleticactivities, competitive activities. The problems in the formation of physical culture of students, such as lack of understanding of theinterdependence of private and absolute values of physical culture, aborted valeological thinking, inadequate evaluation of their ownlevel of health, irrational organization of life, show a low level of knowledge. Knowledge constructively influences on the motives andinterests, and thus is a factor of the athletic training students. Mastery of the knowledge system helps students to use the tools ofphysical training, to provide adequate self-esteem and self-control. Therefore, one of the fundamental factors of the process of physicaleducation of students is to provide the best theoretical, methodological and practical training.
