It was assumed that the establishment of the most influential factors of negative impact would also contribute to the post-war restoration of the sphere of physical culture and sports at the local level. The purpose of the study is to establish a number of reasons for changes in the sphere of physical culture and sports of rural communities of the Dnipropetrovsk region during the large-scale war. Research methods: analysis of literary sources to identify the features of the sphere of physical culture and sports of communities during Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the period 2022-2024, the method of surveying experts of the branch of the All-Ukrainian Physical Culture and Sports Society "Kolos" in the Dnipropetrovsk region, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results. It was found that 69% of experts do not agree that there is a decrease in the attention of community leaders to the social sphere, including physical culture and sports. Although 21.4% of experts tend to agree that there is a significant decrease in funds available to communities during the war, 19% of experts tend to disagree with the above statement, and 19% do not agree at all. 61.9% of experts agree that there has been a noticeable decrease in the attention of the active part of residents of individual communities to supporting the social sphere, including physical culture and sports. There is also a decrease in the attention of residents of individual ATCs of different ages to physical culture and sports (31% of experts indicated that they agree with the statement, and 35.7% indicated that they tend to agree with the statement - a total of 66.8%). Conclusions. The vast majority of respondents, namely 69%, disagree with the statement that there is a noticeable decrease in the attention of community leaders to the social sphere, including physical culture and sports. Instead, the statement that there is a noticeable decrease in residents' attention to supporting the social sphere, including physical culture and sports, is supported (23.8% agree with this statement, and 38.1% of respondents noted that they tend to agree - a total of 61.9%). In addition, there is a decrease in the attention of the residents of the ATC themselves to their own physical culture and sports activities. However, one of the reasons for negative changes in the state of physical culture and sports in rural ATCs is the mobilization of the physically active part of the villagers to the Defense Forces of Ukraine to protect them from the Russian invasion: 52.4% agree with the statement, another 28.6% tend to agree (a total of 81%).
