The author of the article analyzes a complex of worldview and axiological approaches that actualize the issue of physical activity and a healthy lifestyle as an integral component of a holistic psycho-emotional and axiological formation of a person rooted in the value structures of the individual, as well as evidence of his responsible attitude to «Life» in general. Through the specifics of the teachings and practices of famous philosophers, religious leaders and their followers, the interrelationship of instructions for physical activity and a healthy lifestyle with programs of spiritual and moral formation of the individual is demonstrated.
The logical-historical approach to the interpretation of the main concepts used by the author still allows her to extrapolate the analyzed problems to the current situation, which is characterized by the focused attention of specialists in various fields to issues of physical activity. It is primarily about finding ways to motivate it, especially for children, youth – the younger generation. They are category of the population, who suffers the most from the consequences that were brought at one time by the restrictions due to the pandemic of coronavirus. This seems to be relevant in the context of the need to form additional formats of rehabilitation and distraction from constant stress, which is an indispensable factor of life in war conditions. Habits of motor activity and a conscious approach to one’s own lifestyle are an important here.
It has been demonstrated that the axiological positive value of physical activity is quite vividly presented in philosophical and religious traditions. These ideas emphasize on the importance of its formation in a holistic strategy of self-education and self-development of an individual striving for integrity and harmonious development. The author indicates the possible ways of motivating such activity among young people in view of the analyzed religious and philosophical concepts and teachings.
The article was prepared in the context of the implementation of the main research tasks of the project «Active nation: a modern model of increasing the level of physical activity of schoolchildren as a strategic element of the state’s defense capability», registration number: 0124U000877.
