Abstract

This article investigates a specific pedagogical approach to curricula design that encourages individuals to pursue a healthy lifestyle (HL). In the article the problem of HL focuses on education as a means of conveying knowledge about potential health threats or about certain forms of risky behavior. This paper focuses on four areas of health promotion on the post-secondary level: the curriculum, the social, the ecological and the community. All four dimensions are considered an integral part of a comprehensive strategy for health promotion that embeds factual information on health-risk behavior into a context that is focused on everyday problem solving by the university population. This article also presents the results of the study with more than 150 students of the Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education. The research indicates that a specific approach to curriculum design enhances regular exercises, and health checkups which reduces temporary inability to work and to study.
