Abstract. The program regulating the content of physical education lessons, aimed primarily at the formation of motor skills, is not able to have a significant impact on improving the motor conditions of elementary school pupils. The content of the lessons has a minimal impact on the development of endurance. The purpose of the study: optimization of physical education methods of primary school. Material and methods The study was conducted on the basis of GUO Secondary School No. 31 named after V. Khoruzhey, Vitebsk, for 12 weeks. The experiment involved schoolchildren 7-9 years old (n = 48). Experimental factor - motor tasks of cyclic and complex coordination nature, heart rate 50 - 70% of the maximum, 8-10 min. Methods: generalization and analysis of literary data; control tests; pedagogical experiment; anthropometry; methods of mathematical statistics. The results of the study and their discussion. The expected, statistically reliable, training effect from the implementation of the development was not achieved. With such a value of V with 17-93% in the indicators of half of the tests, it is impossible to achieve the required reliability of differences. Therefore, it is more legitimate to evaluate the quality of the program by the growth rate of X test indicators. 700 min. for 12 weeks is not enough for changes in motor conditions to be statistically confirmed. Due to the fact that the curriculum is aimed at the formation of motor skills, there is no reason to evaluate its quality by tests reflecting the measure of the development of motor qualities. The development of motor conditions without the use of influences in the developmental mode is very difficult in the conditions of a school lesson. Conclusion. The motor tasks installed in the program allowed the subjects of the experimental group to increase their motor conditions to the level of the requirements of the age norm. The fragmentary use of influences stimulating the development of various forms of motor manifestations of endurance not only significantly improved the functionality of the cardiovascular system (P 0.02), but also contributed to their effective implementation with power and aerobic modes of motor manifestation. It should be noted that the made changes contributed to the harmonious development of all motor abilities without exception.

On October 25, 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council published the plan "Healthy China until 2030" and noted that national health care is the main goal of building a healthy China, accelerating the popularization of a healthy lifestyle, at the same time, health education is one of the important components of quality education at every stage of education in China, each stage of students' education is important for health education [1, p. 1.]. According to the Guidelines on Health Education in Ordinary Higher Education Institutions, issued by the Ministry of Education on June 14, 2017, higher education is an important period of physical and mental development of students and the formation of medical literacy. Health education in colleges and universities is aimed at increasing students' awareness of health, improving students' literacy in health issues and improving the quality of students' individual condition [2, p. 1.]. The publication of these documents reflects the relevance of the current problem of a healthy lifestyle of Chinese students, as well as the emphasis of the party and the government on the critical period of healthy physical and mental development of the younger generation, on their lifestyle, especially on their life habits. People do not develop good life habits in their youth, and it is difficult to change unhealthy life habits developed in their youth. Healthy habits contribute to the healthy development of physical and mental health, while unhealthy habits will inhibit the formation of healthy life behavior. Unhealthy habits include unreasonable daily lifestyle, poor nutrition and insufficient physical activity, such as smoking, alcoholism, irregular work and rest, Internet addiction. Therefore, improving the level of health of students is a priority task of comprehensive improvement of the quality of higher education, and it is necessary to direct efforts to the formation of healthy behavior of self-discipline of college students.
