The historiography of the integration of various methods of teaching physical culture in higher schools of developed countries, based on the English sports game system, dates back several centuries.

Today, global trends are focused on the methods of student work, which should be, first of all, natural, and the main types of sports activities are winter and summer outdoor games. Organizational and methodological aspects of teaching physical culture in higher educational institutions around the world are focused on the harmonious development of a person, which consists in the mutual correlation of the development of theoretical knowledge and physical activity.
