Objective of the study was to analyze benefits of special academic educational provisions to encourage students’ physical education interests and motivations.
Methods and structure of the study. The study was run in 2018-2020 at Pedagogical Institute based on the “NRU Belgorod State National Research University research contest for grants to support public and humanitarian research" summary No. 826-OD of 14.08 2020. We used the following research methods for the purposes of the study: theoretical analysis of the reference literature; physical education service analysis; students’ physical education progress data and physical education incentives/ encouragement initiatives; empirical studies with physical education service observations and trainer-trainee interaction analysis; questionnaire survey; training experiment; progress tests; and standard mathematical statistics methods for the survey data processing. We sampled 1,017 students for the study.
Results and conclusion. Based on the pedagogical stimulation theory and practical findings of a questionnaire survey, the university has taken efforts to spur up the students’ physical education motivation based on the actual individual needs, priorities, interests, attitudes and agendas in the physical education domain, with socio-cultural microenvironments including educational methods and tools geared to facilitate constructive physical education activity. Facilitating academic educational provisions may be defined as the combination of material, pedagogical and psychological factors of university reality that encourage students for self-reliant progress in the physical education domain.

Keywords: academic educational environment, stimulus situation, physical education interests and motivations, university students.
