It analyzes the role of higher education institutions in promoting sports, preparing professional coaches, and organizing student participation in various sports activities and competitions. The study highlights historical and contemporary reforms aimed at improving the quality of sports education, including the expansion of programs for women’s sports and the enhancement of institutional capacities. Special attention is given to the challenges related to the shortage of highly qualified specialists and the need for systematic approaches to personnel training.
