Among the students a sociological survey was conducted in order to determine a level of students’ interest on the subject “Physical Education”. The research has shown that the construction of the educational process by means of the normative approach, in which external indicators are more important than students themselves, doesn’t do justice in attraction to physical activity. Therefore, it’s necessary to take into account that the main component for the successful realization of any activity, including sports one, is the motivation. Special attention should be paid to the promotion of mass physical culture and sports. To facilitate this will be the systematic conduct of sports competitions, sporting events, not only among students but also among the entire population.
