Аналіз захворюваності студентів-першокурсників педагогічного ВНЗ показав, що 25% з них мають відхилення у стані здоров’я. Згідно з оцінкою рівня здоров’я за експрес-методом, показники здоров’я 96% студентів перебувають за межами безпечного рівня (низький, нижче середнього та середній). Якісна оцінка функціонального стану студентів за нозологіями засвідчила зв'язок між функціональними розладами і рівнем фізичного стану.

The data of literary sources on the subject of research and documentary materials, in particular the students’ medical cards, were adapted, analyzed and summarized. The anthropometrical and physiological research methods were conducted; the mathematical methods of the statistical processing of the obtained data were applied. The estimation of physical health and bodily condition of first-year students was conducted after the method of express-estimation of physical health after G.L. Apanasenko. The analysis of morbidity according to the results of medical check-up of students showed, that 25% of them have rejections in the state of health. The results of the conducted measurements witnessed , that the level of students’ somatic health with the rejections in the state of health in the most cases is low and below middle, accordingly 5% and 69%, in 22% - middle, only in 3% of students – above middle and 1% of students have a high somatic health level. According to the estimation of health level after express-method, indexes of health of 96% of students are outside a safe level (low, below middle and middle levels). The qualitative estimation of the functional state of students after nosologies witnessed a connection between functional disorders and level of bodily condition of students’ organism.
