Refrigeration industry is an important component of many sectors of the economy. One of the main branches of the refrigeration industry is the cryogenic equipment, refrigerating systems and machinery. The work of specialists of this area is often held under difficult conditions and requires the special psycho-physiological and psycho-physical preparation. As it was set out in recent years by a number of authors, who tried to solve a similar problem for the workers of various trades, it can be achieved by the professional-applied physical preparation (PAPP). As the result, an objective for our study was finding out the value of PAPP in the structure of the general professional training of future specialists of the refrigeration industry. For this purpose, we analyzed the issued PAPP literature, including the literature concerning students enrolled in the specialty "Cryogenic Equipment and Technology", made a survey of 48 heads of departments of various companies operating in the refrigeration industry, well-informed on the problem posed, and the data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Based on the survey, we made the following conclusions: 1. The requirements for psycho-physiological and psycho-physical readiness of specialist in refrigeration industry in a market economy are high. However, the actual level of physical readiness of graduates of specialized universities it does not match for intensive productive work in this specialty . 2. One of the key measures to ensure the required level of comprehensive professional training is a psycho-physiological and psycho-physical training, which must be carried out during the higher education program and the process of direct production activities. The content of this training should be updated and adjusted in the process of teaching experiments carried out under the guidance of experienced teachers who are familiar with the features of future careers of students and in accordance with the requirements of the profession.
