The article examines the role of physical culture in the process of socialization of student youth. It is noted that physical culture is an important tool for the formation of social skills, development of communication skills, leadership qualities and the ability to work in a team. Physical culture is the most important means of forming a person as a person. Exercise has a positive impact on the consciousness, will, moral qualities and character traits of young people. The role of physical culture in life is very important, since physical exercises have a positive effect on human life and the state of the internal system. The influence of physical activity on overcoming social barriers, prevention of deviant behavior and integration of students from different social groups is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the education of moral and ethical values, promotion of a healthy lifestyle and strengthening of physical and mental health of students, since physical culture and sports play an important role in the formation of a harmoniously developed personality of modern youth. Determining the role of physical culture in the socialization of the individual has been and remains the subject of intensive research, first to understand the essence of physical education, and then physical culture in general. The article shows ways to improve the educational process through the integration of physical culture, the use of modern technologies and innovative approaches. It is concluded that physical activity is an effective means of developing social skills. Team sports contribute to the development of responsibility and cooperation, individual sports achievements contribute to self-esteem, and participation in sports competitions strengthens stress resistance and discipline. These mechanisms are important elements of students’ socialization. Integration of physical education into the educational process contributes to the harmonious development of a student’s personality, including his or her social skills. Promising areas are expanding access to physical activity for all categories of students, including those with special needs, using innovative technologies to improve the effectiveness of physical education, and developing inclusive programs that provide equal opportunities for students from different social groups to participate in physical activity. The research materials may be useful for teachers, coaches and researchers working in the field of physical education and youth socialization.
