From September 8 to 14, 2026, a sports flash mob dedicated to the Day of Physical Culture and Sports of Ukraine was held at the Kharkov National University of Radio Electronics.
This time, KNURE students performed the Squat+Knee Drive exercise (“Squats + Knee Raise”) for 1 minute.
270 KNURE students joined the flash mob. Participants performed the exercise in a convenient location – at home, outdoors or during a workout, demonstrating that physical activity does not always require a gym.
The flash mob united students around a simple but important idea – to move, maintain your health and stay active.
Such sports initiatives contribute to the formation of a culture of healthy lifestyle, development of strength, endurance and coordination, and also create an atmosphere of team unity even in a remote format.
It is especially pleasant that students of different courses are involved in sports activity, because sport at KNURE is not only competitions and high results, but also daily care for one’s own health and well-being.
Thanks to all 270 participants for their activity, energy and desire to be part of the university’s sports life!
Let’s move together – become stronger together!

Every year on the second Saturday of September, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Physical Culture and Sports – the day of everyone who chooses movement, development and an active life.
Physical culture and sports in Ukraine are a large community of people who train, compete, teach, support each other and develop Ukrainian sports every day. These are athletes, coaches, sports workers, competition organizers and everyone who creates opportunities for sports.
Happy Physical Culture and Sports Day!

Associate Professor of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of KNURE Elena Tserkovnaya took part in the FIMBA European Maxi-Basketball Championship, held in Athens, Greece.
The KNURE representative competed as part of the Ukrainian national team among women aged 60+.
A large-scale international tournament brought together about 200 teams from 35 countries. Participants competed in age categories from 30 to 85 years old, proving that the love of sports, team spirit and the desire to win have no age limits.
In conditions of a full-scale war, members of the Ukrainian team found themselves in different countries of the world. However, commitment to basketball, long-term friendship and the desire to adequately represent Ukraine helped the athletes unite again on the court.
The Ukrainian team played five matches, scoring three victories. At the end of the championship, the team took ninth place among 15 teams in its age category.
Elena Tserkovnaya’s participation in the international tournament is not only a significant sporting achievement, but also a convincing example for student youth. Constantly train, maintain proper physical shape, participate in European championships and remain active at any age – this is how the understanding of sport as an inseparable part of life is confirmed.
A teacher’s personal example is one of the best ways to motivate students to engage in physical education, be responsible for their own health, and have an active lifestyle.
We congratulate Elena Tserkovnaya on her worthy performance on the European stage and wish her new sporting achievements, good health, inexhaustible energy and further victories!
Let there be more and more strong, healthy and active people in Ukraine!
