Such aspects as an over-use of modern information technologies, low physical activity of younger schoolchildren, destruction of their axiological knowledge and age-related functional changes in their body systems have negatively affected their health. Consequently, the problem of promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils as one of the key competencies specified in the State Standard for Primary Education remains rather relevant. This research aims to reveal the content, forms and methods of promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils in the second half of the 20th century - the early 21st century based on comprehensive retrospective analysis and identify the main areas of applying certain constructive experience in today’s education. Besides, it presents the results obtained from a comprehensive study of promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils (the second half of the 20th century - the early 21st century) based on an analysis of scientific literature, archival sources, as well as relevant theory and practice. It specifies such basic concepts as “health”, “healthy lifestyle”, “promoting a healthy lifestyle” and “promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils”. Also, it identifies those factors (socio-economic, educational, health- and hygiene-related, socio-cultural) that have influenced the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among younger children in the period under study. It justifies the author’s periodization of promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils from the 1950s to the early 21st century (2017), which consists of the following three stages: Stage 1 (1950-1969) - the preparatory stage; Stage 2 (1970-1990) - the transformational stage; Stage 3 (1991-2017) - the updating stage. The research also suggests the ways of using ideas of the historical and pedagogical experience in promoting a healthy lifestyle among primary school pupils in the context of today’s reforms in education.
