Systematic physical activity is one of the most important components of health preservation. In an age of technological advancement, a sedentary lifestyle leads us to a dead end in maintaining the health of the adult population. Physical education and sports technologies are not standing still, and at the same time, according to a number of studies, health conditions are deteriorating. The lack of physical activity in women of reproductive age is a cause of many diseases. In this article, we conducted a study among female students regarding their motivation for health preservation and systematic physical activity. The relevance of this article lies in the analysis of physical activity as an element of motivation for health preservation among female students in non-physical education universities, who are adopting a sedentary lifestyle and prepare for the working conditions of their future professional activities.
