Objective of the study is to identify effective content aspects of physical education for students, taking into account their predictors of readiness for physical activity during their school years.
Methods and structure of the study. Research was conducted at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics: literature review; questionnaire survey of first-year students (healthy students (n=390) and students with health problems (n=390)); predictive modelling of students' physical education. 
Results and conclusions. Students from health groups I and II (main medical group, MMG) and health group III (special medical group, SMG) participated in the experiment. Priority types of physical activity at school (sports games, gymnastics, athletics and ski training), as first-level predictors, were taken into account in the prognostic modelling of students' physical education (PE): the introduction of priority types of sports games at school and physical education (PE) lessons, as well as physical education and sports sections, including for SMG students (taking into account their health status). Factors increasing and decreasing students' physical activity as second-level predictors determine the prognostic significance for the modernisation of PE: improving the qualifications of specialists in priority types of sports games at school and corresponding types of phygital sports; the use of digital technologies in physical education and sports, including with SMG students; the introduction of soft and neuro-sports activities into classes. The identified predictors of students' readiness for physical activity determined the prognostic modelling of PE, extrapolating the positive experience of participating in priority sports sections to achieve a cumulative effect in strengthening the health of young people.

Keywords: schoolchildren, students, predictors of readiness, physical activity, sports games, physical education.
