The paper studies psychophysiological functions of university students that major in management and combine studies and sports.
62 students aged between 17 and 21 volunteered to take part in the research. The subjects formed four groups, groups 1 and 2 being made up of students who did not do any sport, the total of 32 students, 17 females and 15 males, while groups 3 and 4 were made up of I degree athletes and Candidate Masters of Sport of various specializations and qualifications, the total of 30 students, 15 females and 15 males, their athletic experience ranging from 3 to 5 years. Static hand fatigue measurements were taken to assess fatigue in the subjects during their academic activities. Analyzed were hand static fatigue, blood pressure, and heart rate variability according to Dr. Baevsky procedure in the students both while at rest and during local muscle work tests, and assessed their neuropsychic strain. It has been proved that adaptive changes in both sporty and unfit students involve onset of fatigue and emotional strain, their levels being considerably lower in the sporty students than in the unfit ones. We have also established criteria for description of fatigue and neurophysic strain levels in students.

Keywords: university students,athletes, fatigue, neuropsychic strain, adaptation.
