Abstract

In theory, the information of this research of basic public functions, performing folk games and entertainment in ancient Slavs, extremely important for understanding their historical origins, influence upon the formation of the Ukrainian nation and specification of separate facts, information and evidence for a coherent system of knowledge about the physical culture of Ancient Rus. It is particularly important for the further development of national sports and their popularization and introductioninto the global emulative practice, raising patriotic spirit of modern youngpeopleby means of undeservedly forgotten national folk games. Formulation of the Problem. The emergence of physical exercises and games in the ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of our country refers to the time of the primitive-communal system. Physical culture during antiquity and during the early Middle Ages played an important role in the life of many civilizations and cultures, ethnic groups and peoples, tribes and genera. It reigned in all spheres of human life.It influenced the formation of statehood, religion, life, helped to train the army, formed morals in society, preserved the identity of the nation, etc. The purpose of this research is to systematize the disparate information by the author's collective on the basis of the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and the generalization of information about the applied, military and initiative value of the Slavs physical training of the KievanRus times. Conclusions. Thus, according to the written evidences and sources of oral folk art, we can state that at the time of the establishment of the Kiev statehood and in the future, the Slavic people had their highly developed system of physical education. Initially, it was a synthetic element, and later it became as an independent stratum of All-Rus culture, which contributed to the development of the Old Rus ethnic group, performed a variety of industrial and applied functions, solved the military problem and helped to self-identify in the future an independent and freedom-loving nation.
