Objective of the study was to design, based on the students’ physicality and functionality tests, and test benefits of a new special health group-specific physical training and health model.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled the 17-18 year old students of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University’s Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport ((n=148) and Institute of Computer Science and Technology (n=64), and used the standard medical examination reports to qualify them for the special health groups for academic Physical Education service. The physical development of the sample was rated by the traditional anthropometrics method, functionality tests and physical fitness tests versus the age- and gender-specific standards. The group physical training and health service was customized to the nosological groups (diagnoses).
Results and conclusion. Based on the entrance medical examination reports, most of the unhealthy sample was attributed to special health groups. The 17-18 year old sample was generally tested within the age- and gender-specific standards albeit low physical fitness and functionality test rates. The special health group sample was trained as required by the new physical training and health model of our design customizable to the actual somatic health issues – and the post-experimental tests found the model being beneficial as verified by the significant progress of the girls and boys special health groups in the physicality and functionality tests – versus the traditionally trained control special health groups that demonstrated poorer progresses in the tests.

Keywords: tests, physical fitness, physical activity, university students, physical development, functionality, anthropometrics, age- and gender-specific standards, physical training and health model, special health groups, physical education.
