Objective of the present study was to provide theoretical grounds for a socio-psychological health model and test it benefits for the physical education/ recreation initiatives. In the socio-psychological health model design and the model tests in the physical education/ recreation process, the authors were governed by the assumption that health under the socio-psychological health model may be classified into the social, mental and spiritual health components, albeit the assumption is rather provisional and acceptable for analytical purposes only. The physical recreation models analyzed under the study are generally focused on the relevant health categories. Thus the physical health implies certain biological logics of bodily functions, with the body viewed as a material health substrate analyzable by a variety of individual health rates and addressed by the adaptation/ health improvement physical recreation model. The psychological physical recreation is analyzed by the following two categories: individual mental qualities and motivations for the physical education/ recreation. Both of the categories are represented by the humanistic and motivational physical recreation models. And the spiritual health is addressed by the socio-cultural aspects of the physical recreation models. The key goal of the modern physical recreation is to prevent and correct potential health disorders.

Keywords: physical recreation, individual health, socio-psychological health model, personality culture, social health rating criteria.
