The purpose of the study is to determine the attitude of students from a non-physical education university towards physical culture. Research methods and organization. Methods of generalization and analysis of scientific and methodological literature were employed, along with surveys, mathematical processing, and analysis of the obtained data. The study was conducted at the Tula State Pedagogical University named after L.N. Tolstoy, with 175 first-year students participating in the sociological survey. Research results and conclusions. Various physical education and sports events held within the walls of TSPU hardly generate interest among students. According to the authors, possible reasons for this are the insufficient motivation of students to lead a healthy lifestyle, difficulties in adaptation during the initial years of study, and a limited budget of free time. The priority types of physical activities for students include: active leisure, walks, games; independent studies; and section classes. Among paid services, a significant portion of young people is interested in massages, saunas, and visits to swimming pools. The most common forms of physical activity among first-year students are walking, physical labor at home, bike rides, and sporting and active games. It has been determined that health-related running, swimming, and gymnastics are not sufficiently in demand among students. The importance of purposefully fostering a positive attitude towards the values of physical culture and a sustained interest in physical activities through the improvement of educational and methodological support for the educational process is justified.
