Objective of the study was to test and analyze benefits of vocational service centered elective physical education and sport system for engineering students.
Methods and structure of the study. The vocational-service-centered elective physical education and sports model was piloted in 2018-2019 academic year at the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering Sports Center under the Physical Education and Sport Department Research Project in September 2018 (stage 1) and June 2019 (stage 2). We sampled for the study the first-year Road Transport Department students to form Control (n =42) and Experimental (n=41) Groups. The Control Group training was traditional for the academic elective physical education and sports, whilst the Experimental Group training was dominated by the vocational-service-centered elective physical education and sports model with special controlled-intensity exercises to build up strength of the arms and shoulder girdle and develop special endurance by controlled-intensity interval circuit workouts.
Results and conclusion. The vocational-service-centered elective physical education and sports model efficiency was found determined by the following prudent institutional and training provisions: trainee’s need for the service-specific physical fitness; determination in the physical fitness building process with full awareness of the professional service benefits of the trainings; and special didactic toolkit applied by the model. The tests and analyses found the vocational-service-centered elective physical education and sports model being beneficial, and we recommend it for the early vocational physical training service for engineering students to make them fit for the professional service responsibilities.

Keywords: vocational service orientation of physical training, professional activity, physical fitness.
