Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction. Currently, the risk factors are known for many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. A part of the risk factors are modifiable, and therefore depend on health behaviour of every person. Young student age is the time to build the habits for a healthy lifestyle. Purpose. To study the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, alcohol abuse and smoking in young university students. Material and methods. The study included 136 university students (24 males and 112 females), median age was 20 (20; 21). The risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, alcohol abuse and smoking were assessed using a questionnaire developed with the help of the adapted international methodologies. Results. The research revealed that 91 (67 %) students have never smoked, 29 (21 %) quit smoking and 16 (12 %) are current smokers. The physical activity analysis showed that 58 (43 %) students have 150 or more minutes of walking activity a week (excluding a way to the study place). 47 (35 %) students have workouts 2-3 times a week and 9 (7 %) do it 5-7 times a week. 50 (37 %) students do not drink alcohol. Almost half of the students (66 (46 %) people) rarely drink alcohol (up to once a week), 10 (7 %) students drink alcohol 2-3 times a week; 10 (7 %) students drink alcohol often (4-6 times per week). The assessment of the eating habits showed that only 26 (19 %) students include vegetables and fruits into their regular diet (6-7 times a week). 78 (57 %) students eat vegetables and fruits rarely (up to 2 times a week). The rest of students (32 (24 %)) almost never eat vegetables and fruits (0-1 times a week). The bratwursts and sausages are included in the daily diet in 20 (14 %) students. 62 (46 %) students eat bratwursts and sausages very often (up to 3-5 times a week). A considerable part of the students (54 (40 %)) completely refuse or rarely eat these products. Most of the students (98 (72 %)) do not drink or drink rarely (1-2 times a week) sweet carbonated soft drinks. 6 (4 %) students often (up to 6-7 times a week) drink sweet carbonated soft drinks, the median daily consumption is 500 (250; 500) ml. 50 (37 %) students refuse to visit fast food restaurants. 40 (29 %) students visit them rarely (0-1 times a week). The rest of the students (46 (34 %)) visit fast food restaurants quite often (2-3 times a week). Conclusions. The research allows to conclude that the university students don"t have the habits for keeping a healthy lifestyle. The proportion of the students who smoke is 12 %, and the number of students who often drink alcohol (more than 3 times a week) is 14 %. More than half of the students (58 %) lead a sedentary lifestyle, most of the students (60 %) eat bratwursts and sausages daily or very often. 34 % of the students often visit fast-food restaurants. But a considerable part of the students (72 %) refuse to drink sweet carbonated beverages.

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the healthy behaviors in undergraduate students of Physical Education (PE) from Ukraine and Poland in comparison to the control sample of students of other faculties. Material and methods: The group of 564 university students (67% of males), ranging in age from 18 to 41 years (M = 22.05, SD = 2.49), was surveyed using a written form of the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI). The HBI includes the following four subscales: healthy habits, nutrition (HHN), preventive behavior (PB), positive adjustments (PA), and healthy practices (HP). Undergraduates' sample consisted of 25% Ukrainian students of PE faculty, 30% Polish PE students, and 45% Polish sample of other faculty's students. Results: Overall, the undergraduates were presented with a low level of the total HBI. Both Ukrainian and Polish PE students scored higher than their other faculties' peers in the Total HBI, HHN, PB, and PA scales. Women scored significantly higher than men in the Total HBI, HHN, and PB scales. The interaction between faculty and gender was also found in the total HBI, HNN, and HP scores. Conclusions: The Polish Health Education curriculum at universities should be improved to increase PE students' healthy behavior as future teachers. New health promotion programs should be implemented at campuses and universities to maintain and improve a healthy lifestyle among students. These health prevention programs' main aim is to motivate students, be more responsible for their health, engage more in physical activity, learn effective coping with stress strategies, and practice healthy eating habits and other wellness forms.

The purpose of this study was to implement a comprehensive teaching program based on the principles of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model and questioning, and to assess its consequences for students’ satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivation, perceptions of ability and intention to be physically active during Physical Education lessons in primary education. A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Participants were 111 students from two different groups of fifth and sixth graders, all enrolled in one primary school. Participants were divided into experimental and control group. Experimental group experienced a TGfU unit, according to small side games and the questioning. Control group experienced a small side games unit, without questioning. Within-group results showed that experimental group students reported significantly higher mean scores in all dependents variables of the study, in both genders. Results showed that control group only reported significantly higher mean scores in intention to be physically active variable, also in both genders. The results demonstrate the need to implement didactic units under comprehensive pedagogical approaches to improve motivation and the intention to develop healthy lifestyle habits in female and male students. More researches are needed to support this evidence.

The Relationship

The paper substantiates the urgency of the problem of educating a person whose body and spirit are in harmonious unity - a healthy person both physically and morally. As one of the ways to solve this problem, the development of a moral personality within the framework of physical education is proposed. Evidence of the relationship of the physical and moral development of man in the process of education is given. The situation is substantiated that education is an introduction to values and it is proved that education of a person in harmony of body and spirit is possible in the process of his involvement in the values of physical culture and moral values. The specificity of value is revealed as a conscious meaning that defines a persons attitude to the world, to people and to himself and shows the place of relations in moral culture and in physical culture of a person. It is proved that values can be both components of physical culture, embodying ideals and ideas about the standard of a physically perfect person, and components of moral culture (a standard of moral man). The correlation of moral values and values of physical culture is determined and specific values are identified that are the value foundations of the unity of physical and moral education: freedom, justice, dignity, culture, moral perfection, mercy, intellectuality. The essence of the moral component of physical education is revealed. It consists in the fact that in the process of such education personalitys attitude to health, to a healthy lifestyle, to himself and to other people, as well as human morality are developed.
