The paper looks into some possible ways of reconstructing the current physical education on the basis of a favourable balance between traditional and innovative approaches to educational work as well as digesting the interpretation of previous experience. The purposes of this study are to analyze and systematize PE models by employing the methods of idealization, extrapolation and vector models. As a result therapeutic-adaptive, socially-oriented, person-сentered and athletic-recreative models have been found and investigated with the focus on their peculiarities, benefits and limitations. It is proved that everybody should be educated differently according to individual abilities and characteristics and through harmonization of individual, community and state interests and preferences.
