Introduction

The health of the population and the economy of the state have a close relationship and interdependence: not only does the economy affect the health of the population, but also the health of the population affects the economy of the state ( Baranova, 2019). From an economic point of view, physical culture and sports can be considered as a type of socially useful activity for providing various services related to the non-productive sphere and therefore not directly involved in the creation of a material product.

No branch of the national economy can successfully develop without relying on the conscious use of economic laws. Economic laws that exist in social production also apply in the field of physical culture and sports. At the present stage of the country's development, in the conditions of qualitative transformation of all aspects of society, the requirements for the physical fitness of our fellow citizens, necessary for their successful work, are increasing. The restructuring of public education in the country has given higher education the task of radically and comprehensively improving the professional training and physical development of future specialists.

Various studies conducted in our country in different years have convincingly shown that the superiority of workers engaged in physical culture in relation to other workers in labor productivity reaches from 1.5-2 % to 9-12 %, depending on different production and labor conditions. The greatest differences are observed when working in unfavorable sanitary and hygienic conditions and with a significant share of physical labor. In such conditions, the superiority of employees who have a high level of physical fitness as a result of physical exercises is expressed especially clearly and convincingly.

Problem Statement

Physical culture is directly related to the productive forces of society. Acting on the main creative force of social production - man, contributing to the development of his natural vitality and General capacity for action, it thus contributes to the multiplication of the most valuable "capital" of society ( Skitnevskiy et al., 2019). With the development of society, physical activity and sport are increasingly penetrating into all areas of people's lives, becoming an increasingly important and integral part of the life of world civilization. Currently, millions of people in all countries of the world lead a healthy lifestyle, an integral part of which is physical exercise and Wellness gymnastics, participation in sports competitions. In recent decades, top-level sports have also been developing at a gigantic pace, gradually turning into an entire industry of sports and entertainment events. Physical culture and sports in modern society are the most important factor in maintaining and strengthening people's health, improving their culture, a way of communication, active leisure activities, and an alternative to bad habits and addictions. At the same time, physical education and sports have an intensive impact on the economic sphere of the state and society.

The economic role of physical education and sports is clearly manifested in several main areas:

• Physical activity and health-improving mass sports help to minimize economic losses in almost all spheres of life of the society, act as an alternative to harmful habits, which, as we know, have a powerful destructive impact on economic life;

• Physical activity is a significant factor in increasing the life expectancy of the population, has a positive effect on increasing the working age of people;

• Physical education and sports are one of the main components of training high-quality labor resources, and, consequently, a factor in ensuring economic growth;

Physical activity, sports and tourism are currently the most important area of extensive business activity, which on the one hand provides employment for many people in the sports industry and the tourist complex: on the other hand, these business sectors supplement state and local budgets with tax revenues, which allows the state to quickly solve social problems of the population.

Research Questions

The study addressed a number of issues:

• Determining the main directions of the impact of physical culture and sports on the economic sphere of the state;

• Identification of public health factors that have a negative impact on economic processes in the country.

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of the study is to determine the role of physical culture and sports in the country's economy at the current stage of development of society. It’s important to identify the main directions reflecting the mutual influence of the economy and physical culture and sport. The authors try to determine factors that negatively affect economic indicator and statistics reflecting economic losses.

Research Methods

The research material is based on the study of special literature sources on the research problem. The main research method was chosen as the method of theoretical analysis and generalization of the data presenter in the literature. We studied scientific works related to the economic development of Russia, the current state of physical culture and sports negative factors affecting the health of the population.

Findings

In everyday practice, the term "health" is applied primarily to an individual and is interpreted as the absence of an individual, any diseases of mental or somatic origin. In the analysis of socio-economic processes occurring in society, however, in a slightly different sense, as the concept of economic and social, covering almost all spheres of life of individual social groups and economic institutions.

The physical and mental health of the nation is an extremely important element of the economic and political life of society, a significant component of the worldview and ideological positions of the determinant of people's priorities and behavior. Positive health of the nation has a beneficial effect on culture, education, health care, and science; these areas flourish in a healthy society. And, on the contrary, in an unhealthy society, crime, drug addiction, and alcoholism flourish; culture and education are stagnating and disintegrating, self-awareness and pride in their people are blunted, and a peculiar complex of inferiority and inferiority of the nation is developing. The worldview and mentality of a healthy nation is dominated by enthusiasm and optimism, faith in their own importance and favorable prospects. Violations in public health generate pessimism and despair, and have a destructive effect on the spirit of the people.

The state of health of the nation has the most direct and direct impact on the economy: on the one hand, violations in public health lead to enormous economic losses, on the other hand, an inefficient economy gives cumulative impulses to negative phenomena - first, primary signs of degradation develop-drunkenness, crime, drug addiction, and then secondary factors are included in the process-the number of mental and - vascular diseases, suicides, there is an increase in the number of people with disabilities and disabled since childhood, the number of absenteeism is increasing. There are also a number of other negative factors ( Grushichev & Sbrodova, 2016).

Conclusion

The medical and demographic situation in Russia shows that the low level of health of the population of the country and its regions is one of the most important social and economic problems today. Countries with developed economies are characterized by the best indicators of population health.

However, there is also an inverse relationship – the health of the population, its demographic characteristics have an impact on the potential for economic development. The quality of the population (human capital), characterized by indicators of public health and professional qualifications, is the main engine and limiter of the development of any economy. For the Russian economy, the state of health of the population today should be considered, first of all, as a delimiter. If the specifics of modern medical and demographic processes in Russia, expressed in high rates of morbidity, disability and mortality, remain without proper attention, it may in the near future be a fatal factor that will not allow our country to enter the trajectory of successful socio-economic development.

According to a socio-demographic survey, Russia may lose a third of its population by 2050, and the deterioration of public health will adversely affect the labor market. The results of calculations based on models that take into account the relationship of population size with economic growth for the regions of Russia, show that current trends in the population's wealth lead to a demographic crisis, begin to actually hinder economic growth ( Rosstat, 2018).
