HOW PHYSICAL EDUCATION SKILLS AFFECT EXTRA-SCHOOL SPORT PARTICIPATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 1 (154). P. 108-111

Due to the fact that there is a decline in percentage of university students involved in physical activity and decrease in the physical education programmes’ guidelines, the role of students’ involvement in extra-school sport is highly significant. The study indicates the results of the survey conducted among the girls-students of Tomsk polytechnic university to assess levels of extra-school sport participation. The analysis of the survey data reveals that one of the factors affecting students’ participation in sport and physical activity is poor physical education competence and skills. The study highlights that the issue raised calls for a multi-level approach including developing and promoting encouraging projects that have significant benefit to health and increase physical activity, and it must be supported by a strong information and knowledge base.
