Research methods. The pedagogical experiment was based on a set of methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis of literary sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. Research results and conclusions. The study conducted a pedagogical experiment, during which a structural-functional model for the integration of physical culture and sports activities into the preparation process was substantiated. This model contributes not only to achieving the target levels of physical fitness necessary for successfully meeting the GTO standards, but also to forming a sustainable interest in systematic physical education. The article presents the results of the pedagogical experiment, confirming the feasibility of applying this model.
