Moreover, it is evident that fact that the health care system is not useful for solving the problem of it optimal improvement. In this regard progressive educational community today set itself a new challenge - to form student's need in self-realization of obtained health preserving knowledge and skills during their whole life [11; 12].Designing and modeling of process of health preserving study of students - a relatively new trend in pedagogical science, which requires the development of special pedagogical teaching methods and technologies [4; 7]. The versatility of the currently existing technologies and methods of health preserving and the absence of student's need for to use them - cause necessity of teaching students on the basis of the formation of their self-management skills. Self-management in this case - is a self-organizing of lifestyle, the ability to manage yourself for the continuation of years of healthy life in the widest sense of this word (self-organization of leisure time, physical activity, nutrition etc.).Material and methodsThe question of a general theory of human action discussed in scientific papers of Pavlov I., Sechenov I., Kostyuk G.; solution of problems of modernization of modern education devoted to researches of Zyazyun I., Padalka O., Piechota O., Nisimchuk A.; means of improving educational activities and psychological and pedagogical influences disclosed in publications of Molyako V., Davydov V., Mazoh D., Bezpalko V.; health preserving questions based on the theory and methodology of physical education dedicated in works of Dubogay O., Timoshenko O., Vilchkovskyi E., Davydenko D., Prystupa E., Nosko M., Krutsevych T., Medvedeva I., Shiyan B. etc. Based on the above, the problem of creating and implementing of new technologies of health preserving in system of education of students is a subject of numerous researches.
