The modern state policy of Russia in the field of healthy lifestyle formation offers a variety of resources and tools for a high-quality pastime of society, increasing the life expectancy of the population, including through educational organizations, primarily through sports. This factor is due to the fact that physical education classes are able to correct the consequences of many non-communicable diseases, but, most importantly, to prevent their occurrence and prevent bad habits, which are the source of most pathologies. According to data for 2025, 80% of deaths in Russia from diseases that are not transmitted from person to person are the result of alcohol abuse, smoking, chronic respiratory diseases, poor ecology, malignant neoplasms, disorders of the cardiovascular system and arterial hypertension. Informing students about the risks of an improper lifestyle and its consequences, as well as demonstrating in practice the benefits and advantages of physical education and sports, is most relevant at the student age, when a person is already sufficiently aware and able to competently analyze information, plan and anticipate the potential results of their behavior. The teaching staff of the higher school lays the foundation for physical education on important aspects of the relevance of physical activity, sleep patterns and healthy eating, as well as the rejection of bad habits.
