Abstract

Objective of the study is to identify the dynamics of the population’s involvement in physical culture and sport, as well as the factors contributing to the strengthening of healthy-lifestyle practices. Methods and structure of the study. The work used the methods of analysis, synthesis and comparative collation of data from sources of normative and statistical information. Results and conclusions. The conducted study showed that physical activity and a healthy lifestyle in modern Russia are indeed acquiring the character of a stable social trend. The growth of the population’s involvement in various forms of motor activity, the expansion of sports infrastructure, the development of the fitness industry and the strengthening of public attention to health issues testify to the gradual consolidation of physical activity practices in the mass consciousness. At the same time, the stability of this trend is determined not only by the personal motivation of citizens, but also by the accessibility of infrastructure, the level of the population’s economic opportunities and the consistency of state support for mass sport.
