Abstract: The article analyzes scientific and methodological literature and summarizes approaches to interpreting the concept of "innovation" in the context of physical culture, sports, and human health. Innovations, as an integral part of any professional field, become subjects of analysis, research, and practical implementation, emerging in the process of training future specialists during the study of general, basic, and professionally oriented disciplines. The use of information technologies, in particular personal computers, in the process of professional training opens up new opportunities for improving the quality of education. This is achieved through the integration of academic disciplines, intensification of the educational process, a differentiated approach to students, a focus on their professional interests, and consideration of individual characteristics. Students are able to independently choose the level of material complexity, its stylistic presentation, and the sequence of study. With the help of personal computers, they can not only solve assigned tasks but also receive explanations and algorithms for their implementation. This creates conditions for modeling real professional situations and making well-grounded decisions. The article reveals the organizational and methodological foundations of conducting laboratory classes in the discipline "Computer Technology and Mathematical Statistics," which are aimed at developing the readiness of future specialists in physical education, sports, and human health to implement innovative technologies in their professional activities. The variety of topics and tasks of the laboratory work contributes to the activation of students' cognitive activity, which determines the multifaceted nature of methodological approaches to conducting classes. An example is given of the practical use of MS Excel spreadsheets as an effective tool for solving mathematical and statistical problems of various levels of complexity, which contributes to the development of students' mathematical and information culture and the formation of their innovative competence.
