In recent years, distance learning has been increasingly involved in university education by the Ministry of Education. The impetus for a new round of introduction of this form of education was given by the pandemic, which determined the need for self-isolation, when distance learning forms are becoming the only possible ones. But at the same time, a number of problems arise: the lack of proper real communication of young people, including with teachers, the weakening of the functions of critical thinking and the culture of discrimination, the strengthening of individualism, a sharp increase in physical inactivity. All this deforms the human body and removes it from a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, in the development and implementation of distance technologies, especially in the discipline “Physical culture”, which requires real permanent physical culture and health-improving practices under the supervision of a teacher and trainer, it is necessary to preserve the principle of the quality of education even in conditions of distance learning.
