Objective of the study was to facilitate the individual physical culture building at universities using short-term outdoor activities method in the educational system digitalization context.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled the 3-year 20+1,5 year-old students (n=435) majoring in Therapeutic Service for the short-term outdoor activities method piloting experiment. The short-term outdoor activities training course was designed to complement the healthy lifestyle technology curriculum of the Sechenov University’s General Hygiene Department in distance learning format in the early 2020. Progress of the sample was tested by a questionnaire survey of our own design.
Findings and conclusion. The short-term outdoor activities method was reportedly used by 21.1% of the sample, with 36.8% reported 2-plus physical activity forms and the individual physical activity motivations dominated by fitness, fatigue control, and stress tolerance. We found significant differences in the nervous system fatigue symptoms versus the forms of physical activity indicative of the short-term outdoor activities method being beneficial for the nervous fatigue prevention/ mitigation with the health protection / health improvement aspects. Self-reliant studies and applications of the short-term outdoor activities method were found beneficial for the individual health resource building in the context of individual health protection / health improvement agenda. The short-term outdoor activities method may be recommended among the key individual physical culture tools within the relevant healthy lifestyle promotion strategies with a special priority to the health protection / health improvement aspects.

Keywords: physical culture building, outdoor activities, healthy lifestyle, health protection, health improvement.
