For World Health Day, the Department of Physical Education and Sports held an online lecture on the topic “Using the theory of “Anatomical stretches” to restore health during sedentary work.”
The lecturer of the event was Olga Bezyazychnaya – Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor, Rehabilitation Doctor. In her report, she introduced the audience to modern scientific approaches to maintaining health during long-term sedentary work.
During the lecture, the basics of the theory of “Anatomical drives” proposed by T. Myers were discussed, which explains the relationship of myofascial chains in the human body and their role in maintaining correct posture and harmonious functioning of the body. Particular attention was paid to the effect of a sedentary lifestyle and long-term computer work on the musculoskeletal system.
The lecture aroused significant enthusiasm among the participants. During the event, many questions were asked about the prevention of muscle tension, back pain and fatigue while working at the computer. The practical part of the lecture was especially useful – the lecturer demonstrated the exercises live and explained how to perform them correctly to reduce muscle tension in the neck, back, arms and legs.
Conducting such lectures is an important component of popularizing a healthy lifestyle and developing a culture of caring for one’s own health among students and university employees.

On April 5, 2026, an Open Day was held at the Kharkov National University of Radio Electronics, which became a bright event for future applicants and their parents. As part of the event, a ceremonial award ceremony took place for the winners of an online chess tournament among schoolchildren, organized by the department of physical education and sports of the university.
The winners of the tournament were congratulated and awarded by the director of ESI LBI Vitalina Babenko. Schoolchildren who demonstrated a high level of skill and intellectual preparation received honorary insignia and gifts from KNURE: Elizaveta Sharova, Vladislav Polyakov and Mikhail Kashtanov.
The online tournament has become an important part of the new cooperation between the Department of Physical Education and Sports of KNURE and the Kharkov Regional Chess Federation. This cooperation began in accordance with the Memorandum of Partnership signed on April 1, 2026. The document provides for the development of chess sports, the organization of joint tournaments, the popularization of intellectual sports among young people and the attraction of schoolchildren to participate in the educational and sports life of the university.
Hosting an online chess tournament was the first step in implementing this partnership. Such events not only contribute to the development of student sports, but also open up new opportunities for talented youth. The participation of schoolchildren in such tournaments helps them get to know the university, its educational programs and sports infrastructure better.
KNURE pays great attention to the development of student sports, supporting sports initiatives and creating conditions for a harmonious combination of learning and physical activity. Cooperation with regional sports federations allows us to expand the possibilities of holding competitions, training athletes and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Involving schoolchildren in university sporting events is an important component of career guidance work. It is such initiatives that help future applicants feel the atmosphere of the university and realize the choice in favor of studying at KNURE.
