The subject under study is students’ predisposition to implement the postulates of independent exercising. As a novelty, the issues of the development of motivation for students to do sports were studied. The main thesis of the research is to form a general idea on possibilities and motivation, as well as to carry out a complex evaluation of students’ readiness to do sports independently, without professors’ participation.
