Research objectives: To determine students' physical activity; to determine the influence of parents, friends and teachers on students' physical activity; to determine the peculiarities of the family health climate; to determine the peculiarities of nutrition of children and their families; to determine the interrelationships between students' physical activity and the immediate social and physical environment. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific literature, empirical quantitative research – questionnaire survey; mathematical statistics. Empirical research has shown that students' eating habits are inadequate and their physical activity is inadequate. The analysis of the research data showed that the influence of parents, friends and teachers on students' FA is small. According to an empirical study, in the families of physically active students, the health climate in terms of physical activity is better compared to passive students. According to the analysis, the more important physical activity in the family, the greater the influence of parents on children, overall satisfaction in the FA family is when parents encourage children to be physically active, children are more aware of FA when parents encourage children to be physically active. When the family pays more attention to healthy eating, parents have a greater influence on children's eating habits, in families where it is important to eat together, parents have a greater influence on students' healthy eating, in families where nutrition is discussed more often, parents have a greater influence on children's health. Thus, it is important to promote family time together through physically active activities (e.g., running any projects for families); Disseminate information on healthy and balanced diets through innovative methods and tools (eg mobile apps) that have been shown to be effective and beneficial through a variety of research
