Assessment of the Potential of Physical Culture and Sport in Preventing Terrorist and Extremist Activities

The purpose of this study was to study the potential of physical culture and sports in preventing terrorist and extremist activities. The development of extremism is facilitated by the interaction of the socio-political, economic and spiritual spheres of public life. The increase in the number of extremist crimes committed by adolescents gives us the right to claim that they constitute the most criminal layer of society and the main force of extremist associations. The tasks of the study are to analyze the potential of physical culture and sports in preventing terrorist and extremist activities. The promotion of sports and physical education, in our opinion, is an important aspect in solving the problem of the development of extremism and terrorism. It is necessary to instill in young people the right cultural development through sporting events aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle. Sports must be held systematically in the most popular sports among young people. The state should invest in the construction of new and restoration of old sports complexes, where young people in their free time could play sports, and not commit crimes, alcohol and drug use. Proper moral education reduces the risk of involving an unfriendly mental individual in extremist and terrorist associations, illegal gangs. It is necessary to set the right example of youth not in words, but in actions. Conclusions: the future of the younger generation depends on the degree of interest in proper physical and psychological education. It is necessary to use all levers to solve the raised problem; you cannot stay away and let everything flow. Unfortunately, the culture of sports today is in decline, which entails the appearance of adverse phenomena described in the article. A great deal of work remains to be done in the shortest possible time. In order to reduce the duration of this work as much as possible, it is necessary to combine the forces of state and law enforcement agencies, the ministries of sports, education, science and education.
