Introduction. The lack of physical activity among the youth of Ukraine is increasing every year. In
recent years, there has been an increasing trend of lack of interest among students in
physical education classes. This is due to the fact that the content of physical education
lessons at school is not interesting and of little use, it has hardly changed since the
independence of Ukraine, and there are also no sports for students to choose from. One
of the ways to modernize the content of the physical education process is the inclusion
in the program of the subject "Physical culture" of exercises borrowed from such a sport
as boxing [7, 8, 9].
The aim of the study is to analyze and summarize the application of boxing elements in the process
of physical education in educational institutions in European countries.
Material and methods: analysis and synthesis of data from scientific-methodical literature sources
and informative data from the Internet to clarify the key features of using boxing
elements in general secondary education institutions in Europe.
Results. In many European countries, boxing as a school sport is becoming more and more popular,
it is often recognized as a valuable tool not only for the physical development of
students, but also for improving discipline and self-confidence [7, 9]. The combination
of physical activity and thinking makes boxing an exciting sport that goes far beyond the
simple study of punching techniques. In this article, we will consider the prospects of
using boxing tools in the process of physical education and emphasize the numerous
advantages.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the experience of implementing boxing into the physical
education process in educational institutions in Switzerland, Germany, and Ukraine, it
can be concluded that integrating boxing into the physical education curriculum in
educational institutions can make a significant contribution to enhancing the physical
education process in Ukraine.
