The analysis of crisis situation in the system of physical education conducted in collaboration with professor Stolyarov V.I. in 2012 and 2013 has shown that for the system of physical education in order to function and develop effectively in modern circumstances, the multilateral social requirements, interests and needs of different social groups and specific implementation conditions must be considered. The system of physical education must integrate the three core components of the education process: the bodily (somatical), the physical (moving activity) and the sport-oriented education [1].

The general forms of sports and physical activity in the structure of regional integrated system of physical education of children and youth should be formulated in order to be applied to different social and demographic population groups, on different stages of personality formation and development, on different levels of education, etc. It is important to consider different organizational forms of implementation for different destinations of education process, problem-solving methods, usage of forms and methods of integrated physical education (for instance, in educational institutions, this task should be achieved with both regular training sessions and extracurricular sessions) [2].
