The reasons for poor health education in Ukraine: lack of understanding toward the competence of PE teachers as a complex phenomenon that has great potential for improving the quality of pupils' health; absence of substantial and methodological aspects in health education of PE teachers; problem with the development of healthy lifestyle habits in the school environment.
