Title: Mass sport events in the activity of children and youth clubs in Lviv to involve children into physical activity.
Abstract: IntroductionThe lifestyle of the Ukrainian people and the condition of physical education and sport create a threat and are a huge challenge for Ukraine at the current stage of its development. A large part of the population has a rather passive lifestyle (Semal, N. 2010).Death rate of able-bodied people in our country is increasing and it is higher than the same rate in European countries. There are many conditions which cause the increase of cardiovascular diseases. The decreasing number of Ukrainian population is developing from year to year, thus in 1992 there were 52.056 million people and in 2013 this number was 45.553 million.The health level of the Ukrainian nation is very low. According to the researches in the field of physical education and sport it can be stated that a large amount of the population has insufficient level of physical activity. Being physically passive is immanent for all age categories.According to the Main statistics department of Ukraine, especially the information about total budget of Ukraine in 2011-2013, we can see that the expenditure on physical culture and sport are very small. Thus, in 2011 these expenditures were 0.7%, 2012 - 0.8% and 2013 - 0.8%13,5 % of population of Ukraine take part in physical activity and sport, only 2% take part in work of clubs, among them 14 % are at their work place, 13 % - place of their study, 73 % - place of living.This situation needs to be altered and improved immediately.

In particular, in 1993 the process of creating children and youth clubs began. These are out-of-school institutions, which provide education and upbringing of children in extracurricular terms. Local children and youth clubs are leisure centers for children and the youth. They are places for useful activities, including the improvement of the level of physical activity (Dedelyuk, N.A. 2004).It is set in the reports of the Administrations, that a large amount of physical and sport events are conducted. That is why it is very important to examine their efficiency according to involvement of children and the youth to physical activity.Main objectives of the Administrations are the following:1.
