The health of young people, especially students, determines the health of the nation as a whole, and therefore affects the potential of this nation in all areas of activity. However, doctors say that recently the general state of health of university students, as well as all young people, has worsened. A full-fledged educational process in an educational institution is impossible without creating a healthy environment for students. It is completely wrong to place all or most of the responsibility for public health on the health system. According to WHO experts, the contribution of medical care and hereditary factors to health is not more than 30 %, while 50 % is a healthy lifestyle, which is understood as a set of individual practices, norms and personal behaviors leading to better health. These include, at a minimum, refusal to consume alcohol and tobacco, proper nutrition and physical activity. This means that health promotion is not only the responsibility of the health sector, but a public national task with a high level of individual responsibility. You cannot be healthy in an unhealthy society, so today a healthy and educated person is a national priority. It is necessary to promote a healthy lifestyle in every way, since many people do not know how and do not strive to be healthy.
Among the subjects of the Russian Federation, Crimea and Sevastopol demonstrate a high incidence of pathologies of the circulatory system, exceeding the national average by 1.5–2 times. It is of concern that not only pensioners are vulnerable, but also people of working age. In addition, the problem of juvenile obesity is relevant in Crimea.
Undoubtedly, one of the most important factors of the nation’s health is a healthy active lifestyle, in which sports activity plays a key role, including at the amateur level. For the effective popularization of sports among a wide range of people, a number of components are important: technical equipment and accessibility of sports clubs, sections, etc.; staffing; information support, etc. Among other things, the type of sports activity that is popularized in society and is offered as a mass one is important. In a sports club aimed at individual sports activities, powerlifting retains a vivid and relevant position.
Powerlifting has established itself as a method for the prevention and correction of various pathologies: diseases of the cardiovascular system, obesity, sarcopenia, as well as improving cognitive functions and a way to combat smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction. At the same time, the level of development of powerlifting in the Crimea remains low. This problem can be solved, inter alia, by introducing theoretical and practical classes in schools and universities, training qualified trainers, opening sports clubs, and information support in the media.
