Report "Social significance of physical culture and sports and society". Physical culture and sports are complex multifunctional phenomena in the life of modern society, which perform a number of important social functions. The specific function of physical culture and sports is to meet the needs of society in the physical preparation of people for participation in labor activity, the formation of biosocial adaptation abilities to changing living conditions and the ability to survive in various extreme conditions. In the process of physical education, an appropriate level of vital motor skills and necessary physical qualities is provided: strength, endurance, speed, dexterity, etc., which allows you to quickly and better master new professions, master modern complex technology, work more intensively and efficiently. Of particular importance is physical culture and sports in professional and applied training, with the help of which physical qualities are developed and motor skills are formed that are significant for a particular professional activity. Physical culture and sports are an important factor in reducing morbidity and injury at work. It has been proven that industrial physical culture protects the body from overload, overstrain, overwork, and throughout the working day maintains a high level of performance without harming health. In the process of upbringing of physical culture, the mental development of those involved is carried out, which have two sides - educational and upbringing. The educational side is associated with arming with special knowledge, educational - with the development of the mental qualities of those involved, such as perception, observation, memory, attention. Regular classes in certain sports and physical exercises, their correct use in the training mode contributes to the improvement of a number of necessary qualities - the depth of thinking, combinatorial abilities, operational thinking, visual and auditory memory, sensorimotor reactions: the formation of intellectual abilities (the ability to analyze, generalize, draw conclusions, predict, etc.). Physical development and good physical fitness are important prerequisites for a full-fledged mental activity. Scientists have found that mental development is faster and more productive in children with increased physical activity. This happens due to the fact that stimuli coming from the muscles significantly affect not only the development of special parts of the brain that control motor functions, but also radiate to the entire brain, stimulating its development. Since physical culture is a kind of culture of the individual and society, it is characterized, first of all, by general cultural social functions. These include such as educational, educational, transformative, cognitive, value-oriented, communicative, etc. Let's consider only some of them. Human education. Physical exercise and sports: - Create an opportunity for the education of will, honesty, courage, labor qualities; - Develop humanistic convictions, a sense of respect for the opponent; - Form social activity (team captain, fizorg, senior in the group, sports referee). During the course, a person receives lessons in legal ethics. The relationship between a coach and an athlete, a teacher and a student, between students in a group in a lesson and athletes in competitions require conscious adherence to the rules of conduct. Athletes and athletes are characterized by such qualities as patriotism, devotion to their work, the struggle for sports honor, diligence, expressed in the construction and improvement of sites, filling and cleaning skating rinks, cleaning work places. Human education. In the process of physical culture and sports, a person learns a lot of new things, learns motor skills, searches for new sports facilities and methods to improve results. Physical culture and sports create opportunities for the development of creativity and the formation of cognitive activity. With regular classes, both in the classroom and on your own, such a type of memory as "muscle memory" is formed. This is something that can be useful in later life, both in professional activities and in everyday life, in the family. The essence of it (muscle memory) is that the exercise is brought to a skill and is stored in memory for a long time. And even after a long period of non-use, it can easily recover if you start doing this exercise again. A well-known example is a letter. Having learned to write in elementary grade or even before school, a person retains this skill for life. With regard to physical exercises, this can be, for example, the technique of throwing into the ring in basketball, the technique of skiing, skating, playing volleyball, etc. And in later life, having become specialists, former students will be able to take an active part in mass sports and sporting events in your company or enterprise. And, being parents, they will be able to teach this to their children, set an example for them, and not lose face in front of them. After all, for sure, anyone wants to see their children healthy, strong, dexterous. And physical culture is the most accessible and effective way, and a personal example is sometimes better than any coach. Those involved in physical culture are not only socially active themselves, but also have a positive impact on their loved ones, friends, and colleagues. The more actively a person is involved in physical culture and sports activities, the less he hopes for luck, for someone's help, for communication with the right people, for the ability to adapt. A person gets used to rely on himself and, in order to achieve well-being, relies on the definition of a goal, on his abilities, talent, diligence and conscientiousness. It is in this that the most significant social functions of physical culture and sports are seen. At the same time, speaking about the social functions of such a phenomenon of modern society as physical culture and dispute, one should not forget that these “public functions” are made up of the active position and actions of each individual person, each member of society in this sphere of culture. in the field of physical culture and health improvement, personal and public interests are brought together and balanced to the greatest extent.
