International experience of promising vectors of development of sports education in ukraine, using the example of loughborough university

The development of professional sports education is an important factor in the formation of an effective system of physical culture and sports in Ukraine and the world. A high level of training of sports personnel determines not only the country's sports achievements, but also the general level of physical activity of the population, the development of a healthy lifestyle and the competitiveness of graduates in the international labor market. The study analyzes the international experience of sports education using the example of a leading world educational institution - Loughborough University, Great Britain, and studies the possibilities of adapting its advanced practices in Ukraine. The paper considers the problems of training sports specialists, in particular, the discrepancy between theoretical education and practical skills, outdated teaching methods, insufficient funding and weak material and technical base of higher educational institutions. The focus is on innovative approaches used in Loughborough, including multidisciplinarity, close connection between science and practice, opportunities for international cooperation, as well as the introduction of new technologies, in particular artificial intelligence (AI), into educational activities. Based on a comparative analysis, conclusions are drawn regarding the prospects for the development of sports education in Ukraine, in particular the need to introduce practice-oriented training, create international double degree programs, activate students' research work and strengthen cooperation with international educational and sports organizations.
