Methods and structure of the study. We run a questionnaire survey of the academic faculty and research personnel (n = 300) and management staff (n = 140) in the Belgorod, Kursk and Lipetsk Oblast universities to profile the individual progress agendas; with the questionnaire survey data and analyses additionally verified by interviews of academic physical education experts (n = 20). The experts were requested to verify, among other things the questionnaire survey data and findings and contribute to the interpretations and resultant practical recommendations. We used for the purpose of the study combinations of the following theoretical research methods: analyses, comparisons, data generalization, systematization and modeling. The questionnaire survey was designed to profile the faculty/ research/ management staff attitudes to the progress opportunities offered by the academic physical education system classified into: leisure-time trainings in gyms; university mass physical education events; and the GTO Complex tests.
