Sport is a very difficult type of human activity that requires the full commitment of the athlete, that is, he must become a way of life. Particular attention in sports is paid to sports results, namely their improvement, cross-country skiing is no exception. Because they are considered one of the most massive and complex species. Recently, at competitions of different levels there is a very great complication of the conditions of the competition tracks, in accordance with this, coaches have to increase the load of athletes in training, in order to achieve significant results in competitions. Because of this, skiers do not have time to recover, and the effectiveness of training is minimized, and the results of athletes do not meet the needs of coaches and skiers themselves. It was the intensive development of skiing that led to this. Currently, this problem is very relevant, and therefore we decided that it is necessary to investigate in more detail this topic, to solve which it was decided to create a program of recreational activities of skiers, this measure is quite appropriate, as the recreational program will not interfere. training process, and vice versa will complement it. To determine the means of recreational orientation, which are of interest to our athletes, a survey was conducted, after the results of which a training program was developed with the introduction of recreational activities.

One of the important areas that has undergone significant changes due to the epidemic and the quarantine measures caused by it is education. The need to quickly change the forms of conducting classes has become a real test for teachers of performing disciplines of a sports profile, and prompted them to search and experiment in the use of information technologies and technical means in the educational process.

Distance learning has become mainstream in the context of global quarantine. Therefore, this problem inspired the consideration in the article of such issues as the methodology for preparing and conducting practical classes, as well as the use of information technologies and technical means such as video products, multimedia presentations, encyclopedias, simulators and games that are used in the educational process of students and will help it. improvement. The use of these technical means and information technologies contributes to the improvement of education in conditions of quarantine restrictions, as well as to the improvement of the perception of information through new technologies, methods and means.
