Objective of the study was to theoretical and experimental justification for changing the level of physical fitness (LPF) of students during their studies at a medical university.
Methods and structure of the study. A program consisting of various tests for assessing the dynamics of students (LPF) depending on the year of study at the university was tested.
Results and conclusions. It was found that the LPF of students in the first and second years of study is average and reaches its maximum in the second year, then in the third and fourth years of study it has a sharp negative trend. Thus, the authors came to the conclusion that university students after two years of study have a strong decrease in LPF, which means that the third and fourth years of study are a critical point for students health.
