Every year on September 20, the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” celebrates the International Day of University Sport. This holiday was launched by the UNESCO General Conference on the initiative of the International University Sports Federation (FISU) in 2015. This day is designed to attract attention and increase the importance of sports among students and to attract supporters of a healthy lifestyle to their ranks, to promote its popularization and development. A healthy lifestyle, physical culture and sports are a reliable source of excellent mood and optimism, health and longevity.
This year, Poltava Polytechnic, as a branch of the Sports Student Union of Ukraine in the Poltava region, hospitably welcomed students of the Poltava College of Oil and Gas and the Poltava College of Engineering Transport Construction at its sports base.
The sports mood was set at a demonstration dance performance by students of the Poltava national cheerleading team under the leadership of Masters of Sports of Ukraine Tetiana Synytsia and Anastasiia Shendryk. Another cheerleading champion, Yelyzaveta Nikulina, a student of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports majoring in “Physical Culture and Sports”, conducted the fiery student fitness exercise.
“Congratulations to the progressive, athletic, ambitious, modern youth on the International Day of University Sport! We are pleased to recall the year 2019, when students actively engaged in sports came to Poltava Polytechnic from almost all corners of Ukraine, and we solemnly celebrated the International Day of University Sport. On the same day, we celebrate another interesting event: today, September 20, the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic” celebrates its birthday. I congratulate the students studying at this faculty on this holiday!
Sport plays an important role in every person’s life. Especially in my life. After all, it is only thanks to the sports character that we can ensure the leadership positions of Poltava Polytechnic. Having been involved in sports since childhood and passing it on to my children, who are still studying at the lyceum, but are already Candidates for Master of Sports in sports ballroom dancing, I can definitely confidently state the fact that we train to win. And so in life – you always need victory.
Today, celebrating this day, we would certainly like to thank our Armed Forces, who defend Ukraine from the enemy and provide us with the opportunity to receive quality education. On the eve of our meeting, there was an air raid alarm, but I am sure that our Armed Forces of Ukraine will do everything to ensure that the victory is as quick as possible. And today, healthy, ambitious, athletic, physically hardened young people are the future of our country. So I wish you success in your studies, success in sports, and success in your life. Glory to Ukraine!” – greeted students the Rector of the university, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Head of the Sports Student Union of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Federation of Student Sports in the Poltava region, Professor Volodymyr Onyshchenko.

That is why the International Day of University Sport is of great importance among young people, since this day affirms the importance of sports, and sports is health.
