The article presents ways and methods of improving the health competence of a physical education teacher based on knowledge of pancreatitis prevention. The significance of this issue for the professional activity of a physical education teacher is revealed. The urgency of the problem is determined by the fact that acute pancreatitis is a life-threatening disorder that can be induced by physical exercise, smoking, use of anabolic steroids. In this pedagogical system, these issues are revealed through the use of the "Case-system of pancreatitis prevention", which consists of problems-situations, system of questions, methods of modeling the effects of enzyme activation within the pancreas, analysis of motor activity in relation to pancreatitis prevention, methods of performance monitoring, and also through the actualization and formation in the learning process of strategies for the pancreatitis prevention and pre-medical care. The purpose of covering the phenomenon of pancreatitis is to improve the components of health competence of a physical education teacher based on knowledge of pancreatitis prevention. The cognitive component is improved through the development of practical knowledge about the phenomenon of pancreatitis and through the actualization of health-preserving thinking. The activitydiscursive component is developed through learning to apply activity-oriented prevention and care strategies. The personal-existential component is improved by anthropological-value comprehension of the life preservation problem, which is considered as an existential issue, as well as through the actualization of safe organization of physical activity values, safe and healthy nutrition. The use of these methods makes it possible to consider this problem of pancreatitis prevention in the educational process in a practical and value-oriented way. For optimization and concretization of knowledge and for their practical and problem-based orientation on the basis of consideration of tasks-situations and the system of questions the strategies for prevention and rendering of emergency care for acute pancreatitis are formed. An experimental study was conducted which determined the effectiveness of the implementation of the "Case-system of pancreatitis prevention" method. The application of these methods in the training programs of physical education teachers, coaches, instructors in certain sports and martial arts, military, rescuers, emergency services, firefighters can he
