The article presents the results of a medical and sociological study of the professional orientation and motivation for higher medical education among pre-professional medical orientation students (grades 1011) in Moscow. Most students consider being a medical doctor a prestigious profession and were proud of their choicetheir most significant motivation for choosing their future field of activity is their desire to become a doctor and an outstanding specialist in their chosen field. The analysis of independent efforts of high school students to improve their knowledge of specialized subjects, which is required for admission to a medical university, generally reflects their high level of motivation to become successful. This is confirmed by the wide range of training received by respondents, the most popular among which are self-training, attending additional classes at school, and training with the help of professionals, such as tutors.

The links between morphological, biological, sociological, psychological, and environmental characteristics, the practice of organized sports, and moderate to vigorous physical activities were examined by means of a questionnaire given to 48 high-school students aged between 16 and 19 years and their continuous heart-rate monitoring. Few correlations appear between these characteristics and moderate to vigorous physical activities. Only maximal oxygen uptake is linked to this type of activity in girls. Concerning sport involvement, correlations were more numerous for girls than boys. Physical and sports activities of girls were linked with maximal oxygen uptake, sport involvement of father, support, and encouragements of practice, perception of own activity, and private environment. Among boys, physical and sport activities were only linked with sport involvement of friends and perception of own activity. Unlike boys, physical and sport activities among girls seemed more strongly linked to sociological characteristics than other ones.

Currently, the organization of primary health prevention in secondary schools is a complex interaction between the health and education systems. In order to determine the need and scope of optimizing the organization of primary medical prevention for school-age children and develop measures to increase its availability, sociological studies were conducted of 400 parents of children studying in secondary educational schools and 403 teaching staff of secondary general education schools. According to the results of a survey of parents of school-age children, the following conclusions can be drawn: parents with children visit polyclinics for the treatment of diseases or for preventive examinations, and they do not have enough time and opportunity to solve issues related to the formation of a healthy lifestyle and have to get the necessary information on their own. The majority (77.8±2.1%) of respondents believe that school teachers can conduct conversations with schoolchildren on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in school-age children. Parents also pointed out that school teachers with varying frequency already conduct conversations with students on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in children. When analyzing the results of a sociological study of teachers, it was revealed that the majority (80.6±2.0%) of respondents consider it appropriate to conduct work with the population on the formation of a healthy lifestyle. More than half (54.8±2.5%) of the respondents consider it appropriate to receive training on healthy lifestyle issues in the future, and 19.5±2.0% - at the first opportunity.
