The participants of the parliamentary hearings noted that in recent years the population of Ukraine, primarily in children and youth, growing popularity of sedentary lifestyles (fascination with computer games, social networks, etc.), along with other negative factors (deterioration of social and economic conditions of life, work, study, rest, destruction of the health system) leads to the deterioration of the health of all citizens.

One of the most significant threats to the proper functioning of the sphere of physical culture and sports is the desire of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine to organize classes on physical education in higher education as an elective (without final control and without the inclusion in the curriculum). The implementation of these proposals, according to participants of the hearing, can lead to complete destruction of the system of physical education of students and the deterioration of their health.
