Competence approach is generally accepted in modern education. Competence is the ability to perform a variety of practical tasks in life and professional activities at a sufficient professional level, which is due to cognitive abilities and skills, social interaction, motivation and will. There are lingual, informational (digital), communicational, cultural, ecological, valeological (health saving) and other competencies should be formed in the student, regardless of the profile of his education. In Ukrainian legislation, valeological competence is referred to the category of "civic and social competences". Valeological competence in educational standards given less importance than, for example, ecological competence. We have not found a clear definition of valeological competence. In our opinion, valeological competence is the ability to lead a healthy lifestyle, practice safe behavior and provide emergency care. For its formation in students of non-medical higher educational institutions we have proposed the initial academic discipline "Health Pedagogy". The study is theoretical, based on the analysis of scientific sources and regulations of Ukraine, including national educational standards. Preliminary data on the introduction of the author's program of the discipline "Pedagogy of Health" in the educational process of the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy for students of "011 - Educational, Pedagogical Sciences" specialty "Bachelor" and "Master" educational levels are also taken into account. Requirements for valeological competence formation in non-medical students on accordance with the level of education, the proposed components of the curriculum and components of competence (cognitive, activity, motivational-value and personal) are formulated. The author's definition of valeological competence is supplemented with a list of its components subject to qualimetric assessment. The list of competencies, necessary for the valeological competence formation, as well as those competencies that are formed or improved simultaneously with the valeological competence during the study of valeological discipline "Health Pedagogy" by non-medical students.

The article considers the complex use of methods of aggregation, scaling, balancing and expert assessments as a basis for creating a method of didactic adaptation of complex medical information as a meaningful basis for the formation of valeological competence in future teachers of vocational education. Emphasis is placed on diseases and pathological conditions with controlled and conditionally controlled risk factors with the highest morbidity and mortality rates in Ukraine and the world. The analyzed competence includes the basics of a healthy lifestyle, safe behavior patterns, and the provision of emergency care in critical situations. To implement these basic areas, the discipline "Health Pedagogy" was taken, which is taught at the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (Kharkiv) for students of educational levels "Bachelor" and "Master" from Ukraine and Germany. Medical information is combined here with psychological and pedagogical information by the method of aggregation. The amount of information is adjusted by scaling and balancing methods. Feedback on the didactic adaptation of medical information was got because of the use of the method of expert assessments and statistical processing of the results. Based on scaling and balancing methods, simplification of medical terminology and reduction of details of pathogenetic mechanisms of development of socially significant diseases selected for study have been carried out.

A theoretical study is written in the form of a short report on approaches to qualitative and quantitative assessment of health and physical performance. Physical, mental, social, sexual health, their relationship to physical performance, and measurability to assess and compare individual and population outcomes are discussed. Separate models of health quality assessment and its formation are noted. Philosophical systems of understanding health, psychological approaches to its study, pedagogical systems of formation are described. It was noted that the level of physical health of a person depends on his ability to maintain the balance of homeokinesis parameters. The significance of adaptation and dysadaptation processes is described. It is proposed to draw up a "vegetative passport" of a person with an indication of the vagosympathetic balance. Physical performance, which is often evaluated together with anthropometric data, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, neuromuscular coordination, flexibility, stress resistance, is taken into account when planning sports training and professional tasks with a difficult physical component. In ordinary life, it can be reduced due to the wide distribution of hypertension, coronary disease and smoking, and frequent vascular crises. Cardiorespiratory capacity (reserves) and exercise tolerance can be carefully determined using special functional tests. The relationship between physical capacity and health indicators determined in the study allows to objectively determine tolerance to physical exertion and compare capacity in the population and in different periods of a person's life. Keywords: models of health diagnosis, adaptation and maladaptation, homeokinesis, tolerance to physical exertion.
