Analysis of the System of Public Administration in the Field of Physical Culture and Sports in Ukraine

The issue of functioning of the sphere of physical education and sports in the conditions of insufficient coverage of various sports activities of youth and deterioration of health of the average Ukrainian is understudied. The purpose of this study is to describe the basic components of public administration in the field of physical education and sports. The following methods were used in the study: search, analysis of the available methodological and scientific literature, classification, clarification of causal relationships, systematisation of key points of the above issues. In the course of the literature review, the study identified the current state of research on the subject matter and defined its perspective. It is noted that in the times of high technology and food abundance, there is a decrease in physical activity. The study indicates an urgent need to update and promote the development of mass physical education and sports. The study describes the current state of government regulation in the sphere of physical education and sports. It is established that the unresolved issues of certain areas will weaken the dynamics of development of physical education and sports. Effective development of physical education and mass sports by the state and its accompanying sustainable humanitarian effects among the population of Ukraine are possible only based on comprehensive scientifically sound infrastructure and organisational and managerial decisions in all corresponding areas. The study states the impossibility of solving the entire set of problems that exist in the field of physical education and sports by carrying out separate actions that are not interrelated. It is concluded that the close relationship between the processes that take place in this area with the processes taking place in society indicate the need to use the programme-target method to successfully solve problems in the field of physical culture and sports at the state level.
