description Purpose of the study. Motivations of healthy lifestyle for modern teenage students are studying. Materials and methods. The questionnaire method was used, which included self-assessment of the motivational components of the formation of a healthy lifestyle. Results. Among the life goals and values in both groups, the most important were the categories that determine life values. For the group of 13–15 years, they found themselves in health (70,5%) happy, close family (63,0%), friends (48,8%), health of loved ones (28,9%), love (15,3%). For the 16–18 age group, choices included family value (74,8%), health (68,4%), and good education (45,4%). In the block of the questionnaire related to the factors that stimulate movement to HL, the results for the two groups were almost identical. Leading 9th and 11th graders were caring for their health (92,8% and 90,2%, respectively), caring for their future (75,8% and 83,4%), the example of parents and other relatives (65,5 and 58,8%), as well as caring for their future children (45,2 and 55,8%). For the 9th graders more important than for the 11th graders, there were also such incentives as the example of friends and teachers (24,2% and 18,0% respectively). The stimulating impact of advertising and examples of «stars» noted only 4 teenagers of the older group. Conclusion. Health among the positive motivations of the surveyed students is one of the first places, being a stable dominant in the age range of 13–18 years. Real motivation for healthy lifestyles coincides with promising ones, and conscious choices coincide with goals, testifying to the formation of an individual capable of taking responsibility for one's health.
