The national education psychology gives a high priority to the physical progress securing theory and practices in the national educational system – to meet the social demand for the young people’s health protection and improvement services in view of the new generation’s expected contribution to the future economic, political and social progress. The Russian Physical Culture and Sports 'Ready for Labour and Defence' (GTO) Complex reinstatement project was designed as a national health improvement initiative with its state-approved physical fitness standards and requirements. This is the reason why the methods to train students for the GTO Complex tests are ranked so important by the education system. Objective of the study was to test benefits of the values-driven health agenda for physical progress in trainings for the GTO Complex tests. We run a set of objective and subjective health tests and surveys at a pedagogical university to rate the students’ physical fitness versus their attitudes to healthy lifestyle and health. Less than 40% of the sample was tested with a safe health level, with 82% of the sample tested with underdeveloped health agenda and commitment to healthy lifestyle. It was found that special efforts need to be taken to cultivate a values-driven health agenda in students for physical progress in trainings for the GTO Complex tests.

Keywords: health, values-driven health agenda, physical fitness, students, GTO Complex tests.
