The proposed system includes a combination of scientifically grounded means, methods and technologies of physical activities of the population of different age groups, which reasonably integrates with the educational and household activities of the people of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic. The study was carried out in three stages in accordance with the state orders of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation from 2011 through 2018.
Results of the study. The data obtained during the study revealed a new scientific understanding of the essence of physical culture as a tool to improve the quality of life of the population in the North through the prism of a system approach to the physical education and sport activities. The ascertaining experiments we had conducted served as a prerequisite for the development of the concept and the system itself, since our findings helped prove the dependence of life quality on man’s physical condition, determine the motivational and value orientations of different socio-demographic groups of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in terms of their physical condition and physical education and sport activities.
