As it turns out, in practice, animation is limited to the artistic component of organising events and conducting various types of recreation, which does not meet the current needs for managing active leisure. there is a need to change the ideological function of animation in the leisure system. The purposeof study is to reveal the ideological component of an imation and recreational activities in the system of active leisure. Material and methods of research. the study used meta-analysis, which included the following stages: selection of information from scientific sources; selection of information that meets the criterion of objectivity, elimination of doubtful and duplicate sources, i.e. ensuring the quality of the collected material; proportional inclusion in the processing of sources that reflect different views on certain events and phenomena. Results. Animation as a method aims to bring all members of the community to teamwork. It is about bringing to life the social forces inherent in the social environment (both visible and hidden) in order to implement targeted and rational transformations that involve changes in various spheres of public life. Animation should stimulate the establishment of modern democratic values, develop a critical attitude to new ideas and behavioural models, and lead to a shift from an ego-centric to a socially-centric attitude. the task of socio-cultural and physical animation in relation to individuals and small groups is to free them from social isolation, awaken active views, motivate cultural and physical self-improvement, increase sensitivity to the problems of the world around them, add faith in rational actions (behaviour), and engage people in active life. thanks to animation activities, rapid beneficial changes can occur in the hierarchy of values of both individuals and communities. An animator of culture in general and physical culture in particular is one who complements the knowledge and life experience of people with whom he or she comes into contact, awakens their interests, reveals new ideals of life patterns, and conducts a dialogue about the possibilities and ways of reasonably satisfying culturally identified and hidden needs, including personal physical culture. When programming animation, choosing classes, games and activities, it is necessary to pay attention to several important criteria, namely: the purpose of animation, a set of activities and the expected results (effects) by the participants. Conclusion. Recreational animation is an effective means of active leisure, social communication, training, health improvement, including the elimination of post-traumatic stress disorder, which is now manifested in both civilians and the military. the diversity of types and forms of recreational animation makes it possible to increase the variability and, therefore, the targeting of recreational animation programmes. the positive orientation, hedonism, spiritual and creative nature of animation activity puts it on a par with other means of psychophysical influence on the human body

Optimization of movement activity in higher education institutions is an actual issue of the present day, which is closely connected with organization and content of physical culture. The purpose of the research is to study the interest of girls to the basketball of 3x3 and to scientifically justify its effectiveness. Material and methods of research. The corresponding set of methods of research, which were included in the following groups were used to solve the tasks: general scientific (analysis, comparison, generalization); sociological (written poll), mathematical statistics 160 students of higher education were involved, namely: National Ivan Ohiienko University of the Faculty of Pedagogy (n-20 girls), the Faculty of Foreign Philology (n-20), the Faculty of Natural and Economic Studies (n-20 girls), the Faculty of History (n-20 girls); Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University with the Institute of Chemistry, Biology and Biology (n-25 girls), the Faculty of Economics (n-25), the Faculty of Geography (n-30 girls). The questionnaire was developed to obtain information concerning the problem under investigation. The survey was conducted at the first session before the beginning of the study of practical material in the first semester, with the implementation of the provisions of the Helsinki Declaration on Medical Research with the participation of a person. Results. They found that girls like to play in team sports 86 %. The greatest advantage they give to the sport game: Volleyball – 77.2 %, basketball – 15 %, football – 11 %, basketball 3x3 – 5.5 %, do not play in any team sport – 8.3 %. They determined that 54 % of respondents wanted to learn to play basketball 3x3. Conclusions. The main condition of optimization of physical activity in institutions of higher education is taking into account interest, as well as introduction of new interesting types of movement activity. Traditional sports remain the biggest popular game among girls, but they show interest in basketball 3x3 and the main reason for their interest is “the opportunity to spend free time” – 66 %, “the interest to the new sport” – 61 %, “it is an active game that improves health” – 55.5 %, “you can easily find a team to play” – 11 %. Taking into account the analysis of the answers we have confirmed once again that basketball 3x3 as a means of physical education can be used in higher education institutions only in a fragmented way, in particular during the study of the main subject of the classes, namely “basketball”, however, as an additional class in the form of sports sections of basketball 3x3 can be held on the voluntary choice of a student

Keeping military units in constant combat readiness requires the leadership of the armed forces to find new approaches to the organization, structure and content of physical training. Research on the relationship between indicators of physical fitness of servicemen and their readiness to perform tasks assigned to them by domestic and foreign experts proves the need to improve the content of sets of tests of general and professionally applied physical fitness. The purpose of the study was to identify areas for improving the content of physical training in the armed forces of foreign countries to improve the combat readiness of servicemen. Research methods. Methods of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature were used for the research. In total, more than 60 sources of information were analyzed, followed by a final review and 22 sources of literature, including 15 foreign authors, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. Results. The study found that in the armed forces of NATO, the United States and Canada, physical fitness is considered one of the most important indicators of the readiness of personnel to perform professional tasks. One of the main strategies of physical training is to minimize the negative impact of real situation factors on the overall performance and combat readiness of personnel, which becomes especially important in conditions of long, continuous combat operations. Conclusions. The necessity of simplification of the domestic system of physical training with simultaneous substantiation of validity of tests for an estimation of the general and professionally applied physical fitness of military men is defined.
