The training process involves the following pedagogical conditions: formation of motivation to perform physical recreation activities; interdisciplinary bonds of physical recreational education and humanities, disciplines of social and economic sphere; implementation of interactive teaching methods into the educational process; involving students in physical recreation activities. The developed model of preparing future Physical Education teachers for physical recreation activities provided gradual implementation of the above mentioned pedagogical conditions. At the cognitive-formative stage students acquired knowledge about modern teaching methods and techniques concerning education of movements culture, health culture, personal and group hygiene, about the main concepts of physical culture and sports. At the reproductive and activity stage students mastered applied skills of physical recreation activities.

At the reflexive and assessment stage the acquired knowledge and developed skills of physical recreation activities by students during teaching practice, staying at recreational camps, during conduction extracurricular physical recreation events were put into action. As a result of the experiment the level of future Physical Education teachers' preparedness for physical recreation activities has increased. At the final stage of the pedagogical experiment the obtained data were verified with the help of.-criterion of Kolmohorov-Smyrnov. It has been found that the obtained results are statistically significant; they confirm the purposefulness of the implementation of the developed experimental model and pedagogical conditions of preparing future Physical Culture teachers for physical recreation activities into the educational process of a higher educational institution.
