Ensuring the effectiveness of physical education of students with chronic health conditionsis possible only if proper test control system is available. Taking into account the importance of the conclusions that are made in accordance with its results, the questions of objective assessment and correct interpretation of monitoring results acquire a special urgency. Purpose.Theoretical modeling of the monitoringand evaluation component of test control in physical education of students with chronic health conditions. To achieve the goal such methods are used: analysis and synthesis, systematization and generalization of research results of ascertaining and forming stages of the experiment, the theoretical modeling. Results. The principal provisions of the developed model of monitoring and evaluation component of the test of students with chronic health conditions are presented. The practical implementation of the proposed assessment technology provides personal approach in assessing and objectivity of information processing. Novelty and innovation of represented monitoring and evaluation component are based on the integral assessment. At the same time, it provides maximum weighty and detailed information about the individual dynamics of parameters of students’ psychophysical condition under the influence of physical education.

Using ‘self-determination-theory’ as a theoretical framework, this study examined: features of the collegiate track and field athletes’ (CT&FAs’) participation-motivations; their current health-related behaviors; and their participation-motivations associate to the dependent variables. Participants were 283 CT&FAs (159 males, 124 females). Data correction was employed Adapt Collegiate Track and Field Athletes’ Participation Motivations and Healthy Related Behaviors Questionnaire (ACTFAPMHRBQ); containing 54 items (eight invested general information, 19 examined motivation-factors (MFs) and 27 examined health-related behaviors). Results showed: the top four MFs are: ‘to improve-reputation’, ‘high technical-content and unique-value’; ‘for professional’; and ‘for fun & not boredom’. The MANOVA revealed: ‘Disciplines’ and ‘Original Motivations’ did not reach significant different but ‘Gender’, ‘Supports’, ‘Years in college’ and ‘Athlete-Grade’ did. The current ‘health-related behaviors’ status of these participants was identified. Additionally, when using a four points scale of “Excellent, Very-good, Good, and Not-good”, their overall status was on the position between excellent and very-good.
