Objective of the study was to identify the main trends in the dynamics of the development of the subject of books on scientific and / or methodological problems of physical culture and sports published in the Russian Federation in the period 2000-2019.
Methods and structure of the study. At the first stage of the bibliographic search, individual publications on physical culture and sports topics were selected, published in Russian in the period from 2000 to 2019. The research base was information sources of the largest libraries of the Russian Federation - the Russian State Library, the Russian National Library, as well as libraries of sports universities. The resulting sample exceeded 40,000 units. The second stage consisted in the selection of scientific and/or methodological sources.
Results and conclusions. The trend identified by the author is characterized by a general increase in the number of scientific papers of various thematic types with a decrease in the quality of research, numerous duplications of the names of collections and methodological materials on issues of physical culture and sports, the absence of narrowly focused scientific forums of the regional and Russian level. With a large amount of scientific work, some demographic categories, in particular, the elderly, are not in the field of scientific interests of scientists, despite the fact that program documents in the field of physical culture and sports set targets for their involvement in systematic physical activity.

Keywords: scientific and/or methodical publications on the problems of physical culture and sports, the subject of books, the dynamics of publications.
