The purpose of the work. Summarize and systematize the data as an example of the description of theoretical and methodological information when teaching one exercise, in the process of self-training of future specialists in physical culture and sports.

The research methodology involved the use of the basics of sports training, anatomy and physiology, analysis and synthesis, actualization, description. The scientific novelty consists in actualization of important aspects of self-training of future specialists in physical culture and sports, which is appropriate for the formation of theoretical and methodological preparedness. Materials and methods. In the process of collecting information and systematizing information, conversations were held with fitness trainers of Chernihiv and Kyiv (n=32). Conclusions. In the educational process, students should train not only physically, but also theoretically and methodically, in particular, with the gathering, generalization, systematization and description of the material.
