Abstract

          The subject of the research is the formation of health culture of secondary school students. The purpose of the research is to determine ways of forming health culture of high school students.Health, social and psychological adaptation, normal growth and development of schoolchildren depend on the environment in which they live. For schoolchildren, such an environment is the education system, which occupies about 70% of their waking time, during which there is intensive growth and development, the formation of health. The basis of the education of the health culture of schoolchildren is the formation of an active, energetic, hardworking and creative personality, aimed at a healthy and moderate lifestyle based on collectivism, love of life and altruism, for successful self-development and the realization of all opportunities. Unfortunately, according to the latest data, the level of public health is low today. Therefore, one of the main tasks of education is the formation of a healthy personality, both physically and mentally, in the conditions of intensification of educational activities. In order to provide young people with information about risk factors and motivate them to lead a healthy lifestyle, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of various age, gender, educational and socio-status groups. Along with encouraging positive behavior, it is also important to minimize the impact of unhealthy examples on television, other media and works of art, which should be the responsibility of the State. Raising public awareness about the risk factors of non-communicable diseases and promoting a healthy lifestyle among schoolchildren should be accompanied by the creation of a favorable environment.
