The article describes the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in student youth through physical education. As a result of the study of literature sources and practical developments of famous Ukrainian scientists, it was found that modern techniques aimed at preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system are mainly recommended for work in sanatoriums. Since modern youth, according to statistics, have health problems, in particular, the largest percentage is due to musculoskeletal disorders, so in our opinion, it would be appropriate to focus on the application of existing and development of new techniques that could be applied to physical education classes in higher education institutions, in order to prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is also found that the level of motor activity in children and youth is largely due to the organization of physical education in schools and institutions of higher learning and their involvement in organized and independent classes in extracurricular time One of the causes of abnormalities in health, reduced physical development, the emergence of pathological processes - functional disorders of the body man. The close relationship between musculoskeletal status and health has been proven in numerous studies where It is emphasized that the absence of abnormalities in the state of the musculoskeletal system is a prerequisite for the normal functioning of organs and systems, the development of the whole organism, improving the physical performance of children and improving their health. In the context of this problem, the issues of forming the right posture deserve special attention and support-spring properties of the foot of children and youth in the process of physical education, because it is on these characteristics that we determine the functional condition of the musculoskeletal system.
В статті описано профілактику порушень опорно- рухового апарату у студентської молоді засобами фізичного виховання. В результаті опрацювання літературних джерел та практичних напрацювань відомих українських науковців виявлено, що сучасні методики, які спрямовані на профілактику порушень опорно-рухового апарату в основному рекомендовані для роботи в санаторно-оздоровчих закладах. Оскільки сучасна молодь, за статистикою мають проблеми зі здоров’ям, зокрема, найбільший відсоток припадає на порушення опорно-рухового апарату, тому на нашу, думку, доцільно було б акцентувати увагу на застосуванні існуючих і розробці нових методик, які можна було б застосовувати на заняттях з фізичного виховання у закладах вищої освіти, з метою профілактики порушень опорно-рухового апарату.
