The study offers an overview of the university students’ physical fitness standards as of the late 2014-15 academic year. The researchers have analyzed whether or not the sampled university students’ overall physical fitness standards and key motor qualities development levels meet the requirements of the national Russian Physical Culture and Sport Complex “Ready for Labour and Defence (GTO)”. A set of the motor quality tests was applied to assess the Samara State Agricultural Academy (SSAA) students’ fitness levels – to see if they meet the GTO standards to qualify for the relevant GTO grade badges.
The study has found the university students of both sexes being most poorly fit for the endur-ance long-distance run races under the GTO tests. The study offers recommendations to improve the students’ motor qualities development standards to help them meet the requirements of the national Russian Physical Culture and Sport Complex “Ready for Labour and Defence (GTO)”.

Keywords: physical fitness, motor quality tests, motor quality development, Russian Physical Culture and Sport Complex “Ready for Labour and Defence (GTO)”.
