The results of determining the level of students’ physical fitness according to generally accepted tests and the problems of implementing an effective process of physical education in higher education institutions of a pedagogical profile are presented. Purpose: to determine the strength of the correlation between the test indicators that determine the level of physical fitness of student teachers. Objects: Students of pedagogical specialties: 213 girls (I course – 136, III course – 77) and 34 children (I course – 21, III course – 13). Methods: Analysis of scientific and methodological sources; pedagogical testing; correlation analysis. Results: There has been a reduction in the number of students (boys and girls) who regularly attend physical education classes. It was revealed that the level of physical fitness according to the results of most test exercises decreases during study. The heterogeneity of the results of most tests is observed, which indicates their motor complexity for the level of physical fitness of students who took part in the study. Conclusions: A detailed development of measures is needed to increase motivation and value orientations towards regular physical activity of students of pedagogical specialties, an individual group approach to the development of physical education programs.

The main task of this work is to study a history of the craft, to identify the craft professions, the types of professional associations of craftsmen and handicraft production, the continuity and discontinuity of Byzantine and Western European forms of craft organization in Cyprus in the XIII–XV centuries. The author comes to the conclusion that an eclectic craft system has been formed under the Lusignan in Cyprus, combining Western European and Byzantine traditions. The kings did not interfere with the Greek handicraft structures that had been established before the crusaders, and allowed the Greek Cypriots to retain the corporate forms of craft organization inherited from Byzantium. The Kings of Cyprus adopted the Byzantine corporate system of handicrafts and artisans in the most profitable areas of economy: sugar, salt and camelot production. In other fields dominated the “free craft”. Cypriot handicraft as a whole is characterized by weak competition, weak ties between artisans, free access to the market of Western European craftsmen who were not subjects of the king, and by difficult access to the international market of local producers.
