Abstract

Human body is a unique complex self-regulating, self-developing biological system, which has permanent interaction with environment, as well as power to self-education, perception, storage and communication of information. Precondition of somatic and vegetative functioning of a human organism in all the phases of its development is its muscular activity. Students attitude to physical education and sports is the issue of immediate interest of modern society. Numerous recent researches (Agadzhanyan et.al.,1997; Vishnevskyi et.al., 2000; Stepanova, 2003) prove that physical culture and sports activities have not turned into urgent student personal necessity yet. The article raises the question of student motivation to autonomous sports activity. The research reveals a number of findings: firstly, the incentives for autonomous sports activity; secondly, types of the male- and the female-students attitudes to physical exercises; thirdly, their interest to different kinds of sport; fourthly, influences on the forming of sports interests; then, obstacles to regular sports activity; and finally, differences in males and females motivation to bodily exercises. The results we report here were obtained from traditional methods: scientific-methodological literature analysis, questionnaire survey, interviewing. Sample groups consisted of 145 male-students and 155 female-students.
