The article examines the historical aspects of the mass sports movement in Russian universities. It should be recognized that during the reform years of the 1990s-2000s, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and the values of physical culture and sports was carried out haphazardly. The ideal of physical health, the most important component of a lifestyle, has not been formed. Sport as a factor of the countrys image remained in oblivion. The multiple increase in the cost of services in the field of physical culture and sports has made the objects of physical culture and sports, tourism and recreation inaccessible to the population of the country. As a result, a healthy lifestyle of people has not acquired the status of moral value. Only in recent years, sport has increasingly acquired the features of one of the directions of state policy and the educational function of public organizations, professional and creative unions.
Keywords: sport, person, health, history, society.
