Background. Strategic planning as a function of the strategic management system may be described as the process designed to create and implement a variety of programs and action plans in every sector to build up certain development strategies and attain certain strategic goals [12]. In the national physical culture and sports (PCS) sector, the strategic planning and programmatic activity is formalised by the following valid strategic planning documents: National Physical Culture and Sports Sector Development Strategy for the Period up to 2020 (Strategy); and the Federal Physical Culture and Sports Sector Priority Development Program for the Period of 2016-2020 [10].

Objective of the study was to offer a set of reference points for the National Physical Culture and Sports Sector Long-term Development Strategy and identify the key expected results of the Strategy for the period up to 2020.

Study results and discussion.

Long-term strategy: global trends. The physical culture and sports sector strategy for the nearest 15-20 years shall factor in the global and national trends. It is highly important for sustainable development of the sector that the following interrelated elements are duly harmonised for wellbeing of every individual and society on the whole: economic growth, social integration and environmental protection. As provided by the draft National Socio-Economic Long-term Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030, further growth of the global economy will be determined not only by the research and technological progress but also by the human and capital resource mobilisation opportunities [9].

Long-term strategy: national trends. Long-term strategy design process in Russia is driven by the strategic priorities dictated by the key goals of the economic, political and social reforms designed to secure sustainable national progress. As specified in the Long-term Socio-Economic Development Concept of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2020, it is designed to “secure the sustainable growth of Russian people’s wellbeing, national security, dynamic economic growth and further consolidation of the Russian positions on the global arenas” with every upcoming challenge being addressed in the process [8]. Presently the national government takes persistent efforts for transition to the innovative, socially sensitive and competitive modern economy. The valid Innovative Development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2020 sets the long-term development process goals that will secure high living standards for the national population and further strengthening of the country’s geopolitical role and leadership [11]. Human being and human resource on the whole are considered a core element of the socio-economic reforms that shall provide an impetus for the long-term national development and secure the Russian leadership on the global arenas.

Long-term strategy: physical culture and sports sector. Modern national communities tend to increasingly appreciate the importance and valuable contribution of the national physical culture and sports sector to the socio-economic progress of the country [1-3]. Physical education and sports activity is commonly known to improve health, build up social activity and working capacity, promote healthy lifestyle and prevent destructive behavioural trends in the young peoples’ communities [4-7]. The priority long-term goals for the national physical culture and sports sector are set forth in the Strategy and interconnected with the priorities of the Long-term Socio-Economic Development Concept of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2020: see Figure 1 hereunder.

Figure 1. National physical culture and sports sector progress as provided by the Strategy

Future situation in the national physical culture and sports sector as of 2020 may be described by a set of progress rates versus the relevant goals set forth in the Strategy for 2020: see Table 1 hereunder.

The National Physical Culture and Sports Sector Long-term Development Strategy for the Period up to 2030 is due to be approved by the Government of Russian Federation in 2018.

Conclusion. The key objective, interim goals, scenarios and forecasts (long-, mid- and short-term) forming a basis for the Development Strategy shall be designed with due account of the public, private business and non-governmental interests and the national human resource development agenda.
