Results of the research
The received testing results showed low level of Students' knowledge about origin of Olympic Games. For example 57.7% of students knew when the first Olympic Games took place and only 42.8% knew in what town they were conducted.
Only 43.3% of the questioned knew the program of Olympic Games of ancient Greece and 61. 6% of students knew what were the awards of winners.
54.2% of respondent gave correct answer to question "who had right to participate in Olympic Games of ancient Greece?".

It was interesting that the place of first modern Olympic Games was known to 88.8% of students. Among them only 62.6% pointed the years of their conduct correctly.
Only 23.7% of students could call correctly the name of first president of International Olympic committee. Alongside with it the name of acting president was known only to 58.8% of the questioned.
The questioning showed that students know Olympic symbolism quite good. For example 88.3% knows the meaning of five bound rings on Olympic flag. Formulation of Olympic motto was known to 87.3% of students.
Conception "Olympism" is familiar only to 19.9% of the questioned. Such low indicator witnesses about students' unawareness of ideals and values, which are the basis of Olympic movement.
Students' questioning also showed that only 51.9% knew about existence of the Olympic Charter.
The question "where the next summer and winter Olympic Games will be conducted?" was answered correctly by accordingly 52.9% and 51.2% of students. Only 24.8% of students knew how long modern Olympic Games last.
Analyzing students' answers to the third part of the questionnaire we noted high level of students' knowledge about history of Olympic movement in Ukraine.
The questioning results witness that most of students knew when National Olympic committee of Ukraine was formed; who was its first president (accordingly 74.8% and 70.3%). Acting president of NOC of Ukraine was known to 79.2% of students.

The name of the first Ukrainian, who won gold Olympic medal, was pointed correctly by 74.5% of the questioned. Alongside with it the first Olympic champion of winter Games was known only to 57.9% of students.
General indicator of correct answers in the sphere of history and modern state of Olympic movement was less than 60% (table 1). Analyzing general indicators of correct answers by HEEs we noted the following results: Kamenets-Podolskiy national university, named after Ivan Ogniyenko -60.1%, Ternopol national pedagogic university, named after Vladimir Gnatiuk -56%, Chernovitskiy national university, named after Yuriy Fedkovych -55,1%, Kharkov national pedagogic university, named after Grygoriy Skovoroda -58,1%. It should be noted that difference between indicators is rather insignificant. It confirms low knowledge level of all higher educational establishments' students.

Discussion
The results of our research supplemented the data of other authors [7,8,11,12] that main pedagogic specialists in schools' Olympic education system are graduates of specialized higher educational establishments and physical culture faculties of higher educational establishments.
We confirmed the data that system of knowledge in the field of "Olympism" and Olympic movement is an integral part of future physical culture teachers' readiness for schoolchildren's Olympic education.
It brings better results in formation of skills, knowledge and motivation in realization of Olympic education in comprehensive educational establishments.
We confirmed the data about students' low theoretical readiness in the field of Olympic movement [7,8,11,12].
In the process of formation of future physical culture teachers' knowledge system in the field of Olympic education it is necessary to consider theoretical material on Olympic education, which is a part of acting academic programs for 1-4 and 4-11 forms of comprehensive educational establishments.

Conclusions
Results of our research showed low level of Olympic knowledge system in future physical culture teachers. General indicator of correct answers in the field of history and modern state of Olympic movement was only 57.4%.
Comparison of general indicators of correct answers by every HEE showed that difference between them is insignificant. It confirms insufficient level of students' knowledge in all HEEs, in which the research was conducted. That is why it is rather early to state that training of future physical culture teachers for realization of Olympic education in comprehensive educational establishments is effective.
The further researches will be oriented on perfection of physical culture faculties students' theoretical readiness in the field of Olympism and Olympic movement by introduction of new informational technologies and modern means of education in educational process.
