The article presents the results of a study of the motor activity of students of non-sports universities. The data obtained in the eastern (Yakutsk) and western (St. Petersburg) regions of Russia are compared both for warm and cold seasons of the calendar year. The study was inspired by the experience of the Pandemic, which showed, on the one hand, the negative consequences of the lack of motor activity for the health of the population, and, on the other hand, the possibility of organizing physical education classes in remote mode.

The research purpose is to identify the features of the motor activity of students of a non-sports university in different periods of the calendar year.

Organization and methods of research. The study was conducted from October to December 2022 in North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov (hereinafter – NEFU) and in Emperor Alexander I  St. Petersburg State Transport University (hereinafter – PGUPS). The following methods were applied: the survey method in the form of questionnaire, mathematical and statistical data processing, also some general logical methods of theoretical research, namely, analysis, generalization, systematization. A total of 1500 students aged 17-23 years were interviewed.

The research results and their discussion. According to the results of the study, the students of non-sports universities, who live in the eastern and western regions of Russia, move more during the warm season, both within the framework of organized physical education activities and in their everyday life and they give preference to active recreation. In the cold season, the motor activity of NEFU and PSUPS students differs markedly. About half of all respondents consider their motor activity sufficient; the rest either consider it insufficient, or differentiate by periods of the calendar year, indicating lack of motor activity in the cold season.

Conclusion. It is expedient to help students of both eastern and western regions to obtain experience in independent physical culture activities in remote mode under the guidance of a specialist and to increase students’ physical culture literacy, which can be implemented through targeted educational and methodological elaborations, taking into account the territorial features of residence.
