Poor posture is a fairly common pathology that often occurs among students of higher educational institutions and negatively affects their physical and functional fitness. Upon entering a higher educational institution the physical activity of students decreases significantly, and it causes deterioration in health, reduces the level of physical and mental performance.

Aim: to develop and experimentally substantiate the method of physical education for orphans born to HIV-infected mothers, based on the use of moveable games for the development of physical qualities, metered running, breathing exercises in orphanage conditions. Material and methods: 28 children of 5-6 years old took part in the experiment. The experimental group included orphans born to HIV-infected mothers (14 children). The control group consisted of orphans with poor health (14 children). The research was carried out on the basis of the health care institution "Regional specialized children's home" Green Gai "for orphans and children left without parental care. The experiment lasted for 12 months, at the beginning and at the end of the experiment anthropometric studies, functional state testing (spirography, Genchi's test, Stange's test), physical fitness tests (running from a high start at 30 meters, a long jump from the spot, throwing a ball from - for the head, standing) Results: An experimental method of physical education for orphans in an orphanage, born to HIV-infected mothers, was developed and implemented. The technique includes the use of moveable games for the development of physical qualities, dosed running exercises and complexes of respiratory gymnastics, taking into account the age characteristics of children of preschool age. A significant improvement (p<0,05) in the indicators of physical development, functional state and physical fitness of children in the experimental group was shown in comparison with the control group. Conclusions: As a result of using the proposed method, it was possible to reduce the incidence of acute respiratory infections in children born to HIV-infected mothers from 8-10 to 4-3 times a year. It has been established that the simplicity and availability of the developed methods of organizing physical education allows them to be used not only by specialists in the field of physical education of preschool children, but also by educators of preschool institutions.

Aim: To develop and prove experimentally a rational integrated approach for using physical therapy for 30-50-year-old men suffering from pain in the thoracic spine at the training stage to achieve sustainable remission. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in the clinical sanatorium ”Resort Berezovsky Mineral Waters”. We observed 40 men aged 30-50 years with complaints of the thoracic spine, a stable form, which was divided into the control group (20 persons) - CG and the main group (20 persons) – MG. All patients were at the training stage of rehabilitation in the conditions of sanatorium treatment. Medical and biological methods were used: pulsometry; arterial tonometry; hand dynamometry; linear measurement method; goniometry; measurement of thoracic spine mobility; spirometry. The results of the research were processed by the method of variation statistics with the calculation of mean values, mean quadratic deviation, error of mean value, probability criterion, and reliability of difference of indicators. Results: Reliable positive dynamics of the musculoskeletal system and cardiorespiratory system are established Conclusions: The effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach is proved, namely application of therapeutic exercises with resistance, elements of traction action in the water in combination with physiotherapeutic procedures, psychotherapy, and therapeutic massage for 30-50-year-old men suffering from pains in the thoracic spine at the training stage of sanatorium treatment.
